Here is a swaggering, South Texas Christmas where you: Carve the turkey, turn the ball game on, Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone, Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go, We need some celery and a can of fake snow! Based on the song written by Robert Earl Keen and made popular by the DixieChicks, Merry Christmas From the Family is a humorous look at the holidayseason through the lenses of white trash glasses. Includes a CD of the song sung by Robert Earl Keen.

Unexpected events bring together a single father and a fashion photographer, who are united by their connection to a young boy and a mischievous dog, in this heartwarming Christmas romance—soon to be the Hallmark Channel original movie Picture a Perfect Christmas. David Murphy never knew much about kids. But when his brother dies unexpectedly, he is granted custody of his six-year-old nephew, Troy. He already has his hands full running his business, and he has no idea how to help the grieving boy. When Troy runs off one day, David finds him at a park playing with an adorable and rambunctious dog—who leads him to Sophie. Sophie Griffith has spent her life travelling around the world as a photojournalist. She has never stayed in one place for long, and her new assignment—helping her grandmother for a few weeks—is just temporary. Once Christmas day comes, Sophie is off the hook and can leave for a new adventure. Caring for her grandmother is a piece of cake—but caring for her new Bernese mountain dog, Riggs, is a different story. It doesn’t help that Riggs strikes up a friendship with a lost little boy one day at the park—and leads her to David. Neither David nor Sophie have time for romance. But as their faith and growing love for the boy and dog unites them, they are forced to decide whether their relationship is more than a fleeting holiday romance before the season runs out.

'Christmas in the Family' contains a collection of activities, crafts, songs and stories for families to enjoy over the Christmas season.
