This Christmas - Melissa Minners reviews the a holiday film from 2007 featuring a high-powered ensemble cast.
Excerpt: "Last year, I was channel surfing, looking for a nice Christmas movie that I had never seen before and happened upon the 2007 dramedy called This Christmas. With an all-star ensemble cast, featuring Delroy Lindo, Loretta Devine, Idris Alba (oh, how I love me some Idris), Regina King, Mekhi Phifer and more, how could I pass this one up?..."
Dog Days - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a romantic comedy featuring an eclectic cast of characters and their canine friends.
Excerpt: "...The next three tracks are musical score created by Craig Wedren and Matt Novack. Here we here the whimsical notes of comedy, the sweet sounds of happiness and the classical sounds of love fulfilled. It is here that we note some of the influence of classically trained composer Matt Novack. These tracks are really compilations of cues and are entertaining and often quite beautiful, albeit short"

Excerpt: "Below is a list of some of my favorite movies, books, and music for the holiday season. Click on the titles to purchase any of these items (except I'll Be Home For Christmas as the version I talk about is currently unavailable on DVD or VHS). Enjoy!..."
A Muppets Family Christmas - A recent discovery of Melissa Minners that features muppets from every Jim Henson creation.
Excerpt: "As a kid, I remember tuning in to Sesame Street every day, where my favorite Muppets taught me about letters, numbers, manners, etc. Then, as I got older, I watched The Muppet Show, starring an eclectic bunch of puppets led by Kermit the Frog as they put on a variety show with special human guest stars. I loved watching The Muppet Show and even saw a couple of Muppet movies. So, it surprised me to learn that there was a Muppets Christmas special that I never saw. I would have to remedy that, and so I found myself seated in front of my computer to watch the 1987 Christmas special entitled A Muppet Family Christmas..."
The Spirit of Giving - Melissa Minners discusses what it means to give from the heart on Christmas.
Excerpt: "I recently took part in a rather unsuccessful donation drive at my place of employment. The reasons people gave for not donating money from their checks toward various charitable organizations were plentiful, but the most repeated excuse cited a rapid growth in expenses and a sincere lack of growth in salary. Now, I can understand if money is tight – been there, am still doing that – but can you honestly tell me that you don’t have any money to donate to a worthy cause..."
