Annie And Pageant




From GAIAM Vivendi Entertainment comes two Hallmark Channel specials on DVD that celebrate the spirit of Christmas.  Hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner.  Time to dust of the Christmas lights and decorations, start thinking about whether you want a real of artificial tree and begin to make out your Christmas list.

In Annie Claus Is Coming To Town romance is under the mistletoe as Santa’s daughter, Annie, leaves the North Pole, so she can decide if she wants to take her father’s place.

Traveling to Los Angeles she finds herself left with a choice as to who is the love of her life.  
  
She must decide between two suitors and with the help of her daughter she must determine which man is real and which one has a hidden agenda. Will it be the vintage toy seller Ted or the Hollywood actor who is working for the Senior Elf who wants Christmas all to himself?

The Christmas Pageant stars actress Melissa Gilbert play Broadway director Vera Parks who finds herself unwillingly directing a small town Christmas pageant.  At first she struggles to adjust to small town life but after rekindling an old flame she discovers what love and Christmas are all about.

A heartfelt story of redemption, The Christmas Pageant proves that all things are possible and that despite past mistakes and hurts everyone deserves a second chance.

Both DVDs are family approved and I recommend them to anyone who wants to rekindle their Christmas spirit.
