ABC Family 25 Days of Christmas – Day 21 and 22

Folks, I will not be around the internets for the next few days so I wanted to make sure that I threw this all together for you before I left.  I mean who would I be if we skipped a day?  Not very cool people I assure you.  Pixar weekend is over and we are in the home stretch.  Monday night gives us a repeat viewing of Santa Baby and Santa Baby 2:Christmas Maybe.  If you did not catch them the first time around, you are all set for Monday.  Now remember this week it looks like we get specials throughout the whole day, not just at night so check out the schedule.  Tuesday we get a lot, first A Very Brady Christmas which I like.  See, I always enjoy going back to shows to see what happens to them in the future.  We also have a ABC Family Premiere of Dr. Seuss’ the Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat, which I have never seen before.

Christmas is coming and Santa’s (Douglas Campbell) house is buzzing with activity, but somehow the old boy’s heart isn’t in it this year. Disillusioned with all the selfishness and greed in the world he’s ready to throw in the towel, but his daughter Kristin Claus (Kathy Ireland) persuades him to give the mortals one last chance. If she can prove that even one family can change and become giving and caring again, Santa will put off his vacation in Hawaii and get back on the sleigh. Trouble is she’s saddled with the Morgan family, headed by a workaholic Dad (John Dye) and a couple of kids whose idea of good clean fun is putting peanut butter in the au pair’s underwear and glue on the school coach’s whistle. And with a sister (Mary Donnelly-Haskell) who makes Cruella de Ville look like the cutest pup in the shop ready to wreck her plans, can Kristin teach them that what you give is what you get, and stop the spirit of Christmas from disappearing forever? (Live Action)

As Kristin grows closer to the Morgan family, the answer to who she is seems ever more elusive. But then a big surprise – a proposal of marriage from Bill (John Dye)! Torn between her love for the Morgan family and the life she can’t remember, she agrees to marry Bill on Christmas Day – but only if they first solve the mystery of her identity. Back at the North Pole, trouble is brewing. In Kristin’s absence, the scheming Rudolpha sets about sabotaging Christmas. To clear the way for a lucrative property deal, she launches a TV advertising campaign to sell off the North Pole, piece by piece. Christmas is under threat. Santa could be out of a job! With Christmas fast approaching, Kristin is still struggling for answers. When a bizarre coincidence helps everything to click into place, Kristin realizes that she must again save Christmas or see Santa forced into early retirement! (Live Action)
