Hallmark Movies ❤️ comfort & joy

This is the first year I won't be recording Hallmark Christmas movies because they've immensely upped the game last year into this year with Hallmark+. Movies appear the next day which started this year and since I'm usually waiting a bit to see how others receive a movie it works perfectly for me.

Just wanted to pass that along in case anyone has Hallmark+ or is considering getting it. It is leagues better than it was when it was first introduced (which was Hallmark Movies Now up until last year) and I'm glad I waited for several years to get it, it's just gotten better over the several years that I've had it.
 
Sometime this season, Great American Family should be showing I Heard the Bells starring Stephen Atherhold, Jonathan Blair, and Rachel Day Hughes.

I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. It's now my favorite Christmas movie.
My standard as to whether or not someone is a good actor is if I'm able to see the character and not the actor portraying the character. A most obvious example would be Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln".

In "I Heard the Bells", all of the actors completely fade away, leaving only their characters. The story is gripping, the directing is flawless, and the acting is phenomenal.

In case the title of the film isn't obvious, the movie is about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's life, leading up to the events behind the Christmas hymn, "I Heard the Bells (on Christmas Day)".

Check your library too. I declined recording that when it aired previously (I think on Great American Family or maybe it was UP TV) because two of my library systems have it there. Just in case people forget to record it or don't want to they might check to see if their library has it.
 
Thanks, Kennywood. I will keep an eye out for it. Did any of you watch Christmas Prayer or A Christmas Angel Match? I have both all recorded to watch. Sweet and merry dreams, friends :)
 
I was away from most of this week, so I didn't get a chance to post about the movies that aired this weekend. They are re-airing many times though, if you missed them.
