Why not get into the holiday spirit early with the Hallmark Channel?
Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas begins today, and I, for one, am thrilled!
I know. We haven't even had Halloween yet but there's something very alluring about kicking off the holiday season early. The snow. The beautiful scenery. The incredibly festive towns. And, of course, the always-happy-romances.
It's just a great way to start getting into the Christmas spirit.

The weather outside this weekend will likely beckon you to do fall things, and I understand that. But when you have a few minutes to yourself, why not enjoy one of the many movies Hallmark has scheduled? Some are new, others are old favorites (if you are a fan, like me). Regardless, the countdown has already begun, and you can enjoy these movies throughout the season. Enjoy!
