Celebrating 20 Years of Christmas Cheer!

Welcome to Day #4 Celebrating 20 Years of Christmas Cheer! on @Freeform. I hope with it being Sunday that you sit down and watch some @Christmas Movies with your family.

Charlie and I plan on sitting down this evening and watching some of the movies. David is working and we aren’t sure when he will be home. BOO. But that is okay as it gives Charlie and I one on one time together.

25-days-of-christmas-2016

Celebrating 20 Years of Christmas Cheer! programming will begin on Thursday, December 1st! While the home of 25 days of holiday-themed programming has a new name, the network still has all of the same jolly movies that Christmas fans love, including “Elf,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “The Santa Clause,” “The Polar Express” and much more.

7:00 am – ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas (1974)

Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey [VHS]

Movie Summary

The wondrous story of Christ’s birth is told by an unlikely source: Nestor, a gentle donkey with incredibly long ears and a first-hand knowledge of life in a stable.

This simple tale, which takes place in the days of the Roman Empire, is about a humble couple about to make a long journey to Bethlehem and a small, insignificant Donkey that is destined to help them along.

By all outward appearances, Nestor does not deserve such a privilege. Stable animals tease him incessantly for his long appendages until, finally, Nester is cast out of the barn into the winter cold.

Snow and ice bring about even greater calamity for Nestor until he receives a dose of divine goodness. Nestor meets Tilly, a heavenly cherub (voiced by Brenda Vaccaro) who imparts guidance to the despairing burro and tells him that soon he will be chosen to participate in a miracle involving a star, a baby, a lowly stable, and some travelers named Mary and Joseph.

8:00 am – Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish
