Movie Review:

I haven't seen this movie, yet. However, from looking at the preview, I think this movie looks like a mix of Anne of Green Gables and American Girl Movies. I look forward to seeing it on the ION Network this Christmas!!!

I know we were all hoping one of the Cable Networks would do a Special "Christmas in July" airing of Movies. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that any Channel has this type of programming scheduled.
However, I did a search... and amongst various types of Sitcoms with a Christmas theme, such as: Home Improvement, Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, etc... I have found a few Christmas Movies, too!


Christmas Movies in July:

*Alvin and the Chipmunks will air Saturday, July 9th, at 9 AM on Disney XD. (Features the classic Chipmunk Christmas Song, "Christmas Don't Be Late". Read my Movie Review)






(Aren't these Beanie Baby Chipmunks, too cute?)


*National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation will air on the Comedy Channel - Sunday, July 10th, at 3 PM and July 11th at 2 PM. (Please, Beware of Language, etc... especially on this Channel!)
