Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes are the romantic couple to beat during this season of holiday films in Netflix’s A Castle for Christmas.
Sophie Brown (Shields) is a beloved novelist until she kills off her leading man. Now, everyone, including Drew Barrymore, hates her. Since she is so hated, she knows she needs to get far away. So she goes to the castle that her grandfather worked at in Scotland.
As soon as she arrives, she meets Myles (Elwes). He is a grumpy Duke who owns the castle. He is going through hard times, and he needs to sell his family’s home. However, he doesn’t want to do it. And he doesn’t want to sell it to Sophie, who made an offer on the castle.
Therefore, he comes up with a bunch of rules to make her miserable. He thinks that if he does that, she will go back to America. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t know who he is messing with. She is in it for the long haul.
Especially since she has befriended several of the townspeople. She joined the local knitting group with Helen (Tina Gray), Angus (Stephen Oswald), Maisie’s (Andi Osho), Thomas (Lee Ross), and Rhona (Eilidh Loan) at the Inn where she stayed when she first arrived. They make her time there special. And they have accepted because she is one of them, thanks to her grandfather who grew up there.
That is another thing that makes Myles unhappy. However, eventually, Sophie makes him happy. Will the author become a Duchess, or will Myles die all alone, broke in his castle? You are just going to want to watch this endearing movie to find out.
A Castle for Christmas follows a lot of the holiday movies’ format, but without the cheese factor. I enjoy the cheese factor, but I can only watch so much of that before I go back to Christmas Horror movies. This film makes me want to watch more Christmas movies. So there is no Bah Humbug factor with it.
So, put on the fireplace, get the eggnog, and Netflix and Chill with the romantic couple of the season.
Today at 12n on Nick Jr. Blue’s Clues & You celebrates the Festival of Lights. Someone from Blue’s family is coming for a visit to celebrate Chanukah with them, and they don’t know who. So Josh and Blue are going to follow the clues until they figure it out.
As they work through the clues, they learn different things about the Jewish holiday. Things like how to play with the Spin the Dreidel, light the menorah, and how to make latkes.
This episode is great for kids and adults who do not know much about the holiday. The show does an excellent job of explaining it. If we all got to know about everyone’s religions, maybe we wouldn’t be so hateful.
Thank you to Nickelodeon for teaching them while they are young and making it enjoyable for all.
Josh knows how to inspire people with his positive, friendly warmth. I can see why kids adore this program so much! I am going to watch it more often, so I can feel like a kid again.
How is your Thanksgiving going? It is going better than Jimmy Kimmel’s. That is because today, he learned an important lesson. It is, “try not to burn your hair and eyebrow off lighting the oven!” That is what he did.
Thankfully, he is OK, and the turkey turned out perfectly. To see how they both looked after their firey start, then click here!
We know that July Fourth is Joey Chestnut’s holiday because he always wins the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Have you ever wondered what he does on the other holidays? He eats the traditional food that we do. However, he adds hot dogs to the mix! And that is why I am thankful for him!
Every year I have so much to be grateful for, and it is all of you!
May you be stuffed with food and tolerate the people you are spending the holiday with tonight.
And also, may you never be that turkey who sees his cousin in the oven!
Happy Thanksgiving!
