rmb-43156 Just finished A Family For Christmas by Lindale Finlay.Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the story one thing puzzled me,the word receipt when I thought the word recipe should have been used.This was all through the book so not a one off mistake

HotToastyRag Lacey Chabert, Hallmark's second darling of Christmas, stars in the fun, well-acted film Family for Christmas. The beginning will probably make the romantics in the audience reach for their hankies: Lacey and her boyfriend Tyron Leitso are parting ways at the airport because she has a six-month internship in San Francisco. They vow to wait for each other, but then a title card displays the dreaded words "ten years later" and Lacey's a famous news anchor with no romantic attachments. So sad! Then again, the movie's just started, so dry those tears and get ready for some holiday magic. She starts thinking of her old flame, wondering what would have happened if they'd held on a little tighter all those years ago. The next morning, she wakes up married to him, in a suburban house with two children and a dog! Lacey is so funny in this film, letting audiences know she's out of her element without being annoying or unlikable. She tries to cope with her new life as a housewife, and along the way she starts to fall in love with Tyron all over again. He's a particularly likable love interest, a perfect blend of a romantic lead and a dad and husband. Together, Lacey and Tyron have a comfortable yet exciting chemistry together.Family for Christmas is one of the better films to come out of the Hallmark channel, because not only is the story accessible rather than silly, but the acting is very good. The characters aren't one-dimensional, so the audience can really get invested in the movie, rather than just concentrate on their popcorn. While the ending is bittersweet, the overall film is very enjoyable. Add it to your yearly line-up of Christmas movies; I did!

Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE.Family for Christmas is a 2015 American-Canadian holiday romantic comedy directed by Amanda Tapping and starring Lacey Chabert and Tyron Leitso. Written by Bryar Freed, the film is about a successful single career woman who, after meeting a man playing Santa Claus during her office Christmas party, wakes up the following morning to find herself married to her college sweetheart and two kids. The television film first aired on July 11, 2015 on the Hallmark Channel.This is whole film is just sends a mixed message to women. It shows that a woman will only be truly happy if she is married with children. In real life not every woman is meant to be a parent. Also mot all women want to have children. And not all women that have children are happy being a mother.In this film has a successful television news reporter has her life change overnight by waking and finding that she is no longer a success reporter but married with children living in the suburbs. Movies like this send a terrible message that women can not have a career and a family. This film shows this woman could of had a career but her husbands doesn't want her too. At the end she leaves her job to make her husband happy! PLEASE. This films should be burned.

Jacob (jacob-916-219982) Each of us find ourselves unexpectedly facing an alternate life different than our current life and that's what this Hallmark Channel Original Christmas Movie is about.After talking to a Salvation Army Santa (or is he?), a successful TV news anchorwoman (played by the wonderful Lacey Chabert) finds herself in an alternate life where she is married to her former lover and have daughters of their own.The film's story did had some minor flaws, but the acting from all the actors and everything else about the film is excellent.It was a smart move for Hallmark to release this film during their annual Christmas in July movie marathon this year. We all need a break from Summer madness from time to time.
