    Hi-I’m having a hard time trying to find out when “A Gift Wrapped Christmas” is airing this year. Can you let me know if it will be on TV this year? I will be disappointed if it isn’t.

    Thanks,
    Michele

    Why is “Christmas Unwrapped” not shown after October 25? There are two months before Christmas. We are missing a great chance to see it.

    I love Lifetime Christmas movies. Wished you’d show them throughout the year. Since Hallmark is showing Christmas in July, I hope you will feature Christmas movies during the month also!!!
