25 Days of Christmas: Day 8

During Christmas time, I really enjoy all of the Christmas movies and TV show specials that come on!  Once they all started coming on TV, I decided I was going to try my best to watch more Christmasy things than I did last year.  Last year, I kind of let them all get away from me and kept saying, "oh, I'll catch them at a later time."  Well, during the holidays, there's rarely a later time, because you're always so busy! So, if I see something on I really want to see, I try to at least have it on in the background!

Hallmark has a lot of new movies this year and I've really enjoyed them! 

Some of the new Hallmark movies from this year I've seen that I highly recommend are A Cookie Cutter Christmas, A Royal Christmas, and Christmas Under Wraps.  All three of the movies were so good, that if I were channel surfing and saw that either were on again, I'd flip right over to Hallmark and watch! 

There are still a couple of new Hallmark Christmas movies that have come out, that I haven't caught yet, but I sure hope to before they stop playing them!  Those include Northpole and Debbie Macomber's Mr. Miracle.

Other channels also have Christmas specials that I've either loved or can't wait to see! The Girl Meets World Christmas episode came on this past Friday--it could've not been about Christmas, and I still would've loved it....just to see Cory's parents and Shawn as special guests on the show!

On ABCFamily, 2 of our favorite shows, Melissa and Joey and Baby Daddy have their Christmas episodes coming on this Wednesday--can't wait to watch those!!

Also, did you know that there's A Christmas Story 2?? Matt was flipping through the channels tonight and came across it.  I think I need to watch A Christmas Story completely, from start to finish, before I try to watch the second one.  By the way, you read that last sentence right.  I, the lover of all things Christmas, have yet to watch A Christmas Story entirely.  I am aware that it plays for 24 hours straight every year, haha. Maybe this year will be the year I finally watch it. (I say that every year.)

Can't wait until Winter Break starts--more time for movie watching!! Only 9 more school days!! :)

Do you have any suggestions for Christmas movies and/or shows I should watch this year??

Favorite TV Shows

Sometimes I feel like I'm just at a loss for what I should blog about…probably because I know or think I won't have any good pictures to include with it! Then, on days like today, something just kind of comes to me while I'm at work, and I decide I don't care if I have my own pictures to include or not.

 

Today, I thought I would share some of the TV shows I enjoy watching.  I will honestly plan my evening schedules around what I'm already doing (bells, volleyball, etc.) so that I can still be home (and most likely in bed) in time to watch these great shows! 

 

On Monday nights, I'm definitely home in time to watch Dancing with the Stars…..and I'll probably be texting Mom throughout those 2 hours talking about whether or not we liked the dances and who just needs to go home! Haha.

 

 

On Tuesdays, Chopped is usually on all evening on Food Network—Matt got me hooked on that show  years ago, and I love it! My favorite judges on the show include: Alex Guarnaschelli, Amanda Freitag, Geoffrey Zakarian and Marc Murphy. Now, the new season of 19 Kids and Counting is back on, so I'm waiting every week to watch that show now! AND, it was just announced today that one of the older girls, Jill, is now engaged!

On Wednesdays, Matt and I will usually watching both of these shows on ABC Family together. Melissa & Joey and Baby Daddy are so great! Lately, on Melissa & Joey, they've been bringing in fun guest stars, like Joey Lawrence's younger brother Andy, last week, and tonight, two of Melissa Joan Hart's previous co-stars from Sabrina-the college years- will be on there! Can't wait! Baby Daddy is also really funny—plus, I love Chelsea Kane and Melissa Peterman!

 

 

Thursday and Friday nights tend to be good movie nights on ABCFamily. I love watching movies, and ABCFamily is my favorite channel to watch them on! (Especially around Christmastime, but you all already knew that ;)

 

Annnnd, similar to Thursday and Friday evenings, if we're home on the weekends, ABCFamily will usually be on, so we can have movies on in the background. Sometimes, if we're trying to be productive, this can be a bit of a distraction...haha.
