Hallmark's Version of the Advent Calendar - Countdown to Christmas
Do you know about the Hallmark Channel? It is very popular with feel-good movies. It began its around-the-clock 24/7 Christmas movie schedule on Friday, Oct. 25th. Search on Countdown to Christmas and Hallmark comes up for pages and pages.
I didn't know about the channel until it came to town - to Grimsby - to make one of its movies. And then there was our Main Street dressed up in snow and Christmas trees at the beginning of October.
Christmas in Montana - New 2019 Before the holidays, Sara goes to Montana to help resistant Travis save his ranch. Can time on the ranch help restore her faith in Christmas in time for a miracle? Stars Kellie Martin, Colin Ferguson.
There are no pictures with Grimsby in the background pretending to be Montana on the website. But you can go to the Niagarathisweek.com coverage of it with Teddy's Food, Fun & Spirits looking excellent.
The Hallmark Channel has evolved from an originally religious channel. It was overhauled into a family channel in the late 1999's. In 2015 Mariah Carey directed and starred in a Christmas movie and show which turned out to be the most viewed show ever. The Countdown to Christmas programming had started in 2009. It took flight in 2016.
So here we are a few years later with 24/7 Christmas from October to January 1st: The end of the Countdown season culminates with the broadcast of the Tournament of Roses Parade.
Our snow day pictures show the Japanese Maple with its snow-covered leaves. Many of my trees such as theSeven Sons Flower Tree have all their leaves and are just starting to turn autumn colours. The big Japanese Maple Versacolour out back has hardly begun to change colour. The second plant is Ironweed, one of our natives for bees and butterflies.
