25 Days of Christmas...on TV

Let me first say that I am pretty excited about ABC Family's New Original Movie, 12 Dates of Christmas. Let me tell you a bit about it and I'm sure you will be too. :) It's made by Disney. It's about Christmas. It stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack from Saved by the Bell). It stars Amy Smart (queen of 90's teen movies). And, it has the same storyline idea of Groundhog's day. Do you not completely love it already? I do! :)  You can read more about it here: http://abcfamily.go.com/specials/25-days-christmas/blogs-details/12-dates-christmas/886324.

Next, are you not completely excited about the ABC Family 25 days of Christmas? The schedule that they offer seems to be getting lamer though. Here is the link to this year's schedule; it's on the right-side, about half-way down the page.

Also, at the link above, you can watch ABC Family Original Christmas Movies online - like Holiday in Handcuffs, Christmas Caper, Snow, Snow 2, and Christmas Cupid. I love Holiday in Handcuffs by the way; I highly recommend it. It starts Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez. I just love all of these 90's actors reappearing in their 30s. I simply love it.

Anyway, on to the schedule...the ones in red are my favorites or the ones I plan to watch.
