Since President Calvin Coolidge in 1923, our nation has been lighting a National Christmas Tree. That festive tradition continues on this year with President Donald Trump, first lady Melania, and many members of the Trump family, and other political leaders, in attendance.

The President's Christmas message included these meaningful words...
“Each and every year at Christmas time, we recognize that the real spirit of Christmas is not what we have, it’s about who we are,” he said. “Each one of us is a child of God. That is the true source of joy this time of the year. That is what makes every Christmas merry.”

It's “A Happy Yule Log” this Thanksgiving on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

“A Happy Yule Log” features 24 hours of merry and bright holiday music to set the tone for a perfect holiday. Happy the Cat and Happy the Dog, Hallmark’s own rescued and adopted pets, will adorably stretch out and cozy up by the fire while you listen to your favorite holiday tunes, wrap presents, and cook a sumptuous holiday feast.

The 2017 “A Happy Yule Log” will also feature surprise visits from the dog and cat’s furry friends – like Pip Squeak, an abandoned piglet -- who want to come in from the cold and warm themselves by the fire. Holidays remind Happy the Dog and Happy the Cat that they didn’t always have a home, warm fire, or food to eat. These animals were once homeless: until someone rescued and adopted them, and brought them to a safe place. The holidays are about reaching out, spreading generosity, hope, cheer, a hot meal, and help to those who need it most.

From everyone at Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Happy the Cat and Happy the Dog, we are grateful to you! Happy Thanksgiving!
