Christmas... in the News: Early Christmas, Review of 'That Christmas' & Christmas at Biltmore after Helene Recovery

 


Welcome to this week's edition of Christmas... in the news. This is a weekly review of some of the Christmas articles and news over the last week. 

Can you believe there are only 66 days until Christmas? That's wild! Lots of Christmas in the news this week, and Great American Family and Hallmark Channel are already busy helping us count down the days to Christmas with tons of new movies. I blessed myself with a subscription to Frndly TV, so now I can watch all my favorites.

Let's talk about this week's news. I hope you have some tissues handy.

We journey to Antioch, Illinois where WRTW-TV/WAGT-TV reported on the touching story of neighbors bringing an early Christmas to a holiday-loving woman who is on hospice. Isn't it great when friends come together to make a difference? You can read about it here.

The Hollywood Reporter just released their review of the animated Netflix feature That Christmas. They say this is destined to become a Christmas classic. Check out the review here.

Finally, we travel to Asheville, North Carolina, recently devastated by Hurricane Helene. WLOS 12 out of Asheville has reported that Biltmore Estate, despite incurring damage from Helene, will reopen on November 2nd, to welcome guests for Christmas at Biltmore. Now, is a time to support North Carolina, its residents, and its historical treasures. On the estate's Facebook page, they acknowledge the compassion and resolve of the community as they recover. You can read more here.

Until next week, hope you enjoy your holiday preparations.
