THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS AT GRAND VALLEY (2018)

 

After failing to get the Gallery show she had worked so hard for, artist Kelly (Danica McKellar) feels burned out from life in Chicago, so she returns home to the picturesque Grand Valley just in time for Christmas.

She hopes that a hometown Christmas will reinvigorate her love of art and guide her down her next path and with that in mind she volunteers to run the kids club at the Grand Valley Hotel.

Which is where she meets Leo (Brennan Elliott), a widowed businessman and father of two, who struggles with the work/life balance, but when he is assigned to review a hotel in Grand Valley to ascertain its value, he sees it as the perfect opportunity for a Christmas family vacation.

Along the way Kelly and Leo's worlds collide, and she re-experiences her favourite Grand Valley traditions with Leo and his children, which reignites her passion for art while opening up her heart.

CHRISTMAS STAR

 

I wouldn’t need to look too far

To find the perfect Christmas star

I’d open my eyes and there you are

I don’t have to wish upon a star

To find the perfect Christmas star

Because you're the very best by far

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A HOLIDAY ROMANCE (1997)

 

Kathleen Russell (Roma Downey) is a hard-working single mother, who is saving to buy a house for herself and her daughter, Zoey (Sarah Rosen Fruitman).

Whereas Sam Field (Eric McCormack) is a businessman who has to pretend he has a family in order to close a deal with the mysterious Javier Del Campo (Hector Elizondo).

Sam owns the company that Kathleen works for, and as her boss, manages to convince her to help him out by posing as his wife, for a price, which she thought would help her to buy the house.

But Del Campo is more than he seems, and it just might be Zoey who's making the real deal to get a new home for herself, her mother, and Sam.

All the children were sleeping

Except little Jerome

Who pretended to sleep

ARE YOU WEARING A NEW YEARS OUTFIT?

Are you wearing a New Year’s outfit?

Well you really do look good in it

And it doesn’t look risqué, not a bit

It’s a really cracking little outfit

Though all the emphasis is on the fit

This year I’m going to stay up

On New Year’s Eve

Not to see in 2021

But to make sure 2020 leaves

My New Year’s resolution

And my reasoning is sound

And that is to get in shape,

In the end, I chose round
