I use Photoshop Pro for my Christmas graphics. Christmas Crazy? :D

I use GIMP for my Christmas graphics.
If you want something that's easy to use I also use Canva.com.
I also use Canva.com for all my Social media posts.

And they're both FREE!

Christmas Crazy. I just downloaded Canva on my iPhone. It will be fun to play with! Thank you for the tip.

Outside of YouTube and Feeln, what are some of your favorite places to watch Christmas movies from online? Just wondering how I can fill my Christmas toolbox!

Amazon Prime has some items during the holidays forced. I bought 3 of our old faves this year so we can watch them on demand. You cal also rent films for 24-48 hours. I love owning my Christmas faves. :D

I have read that Hallmark has an app. so that if you have hallmark in your regualr tv package, you can sign in with that on the app. Could be as fun as Christmas.

I totally agree. I don't feel like I "own" something until I can hold it in my hand. DVD's and CD's are still welcome Christmas presents. :shop:

also say they are on Itunes. That is under "more" on the hallmark channel website.


Varsågod! (here you go) Christmas friend.

Just doing some post Christmas chores. Hoping we get no more snow so getting to work tomorrow is not a problem. As much as I would love to stay home (currently having a stay at home husband makes getting up and out so hard) it is getting to be Crunch time for registration. Listening to Snoopy's Christmas for energy!

Just watched a deeply touching Christmas movie on YouTube. It has a Starz label and called "A Christmas Memory". How I never knew about this movie startled me. I cried several times. :cry:

Thanks Jolly for the Hallmark phone app link. It is not available on my tablet because it is for smartphones. My eye are too old to watch such a small screen. Hope it works for the rest of you. :D

My mp4 screen is 4 cm x 7 cm. The samsung about 4 in by 6 in. I like them for travel. The problem I have is not my Eyes, but my hands cramping up holding the devices. I have to find a way to prop them up with a pillow. Nice for watching Christmas Movies in bed when insomnia has set in.

The movie was made in 1996!! It is sad and sweet ... Christmas bittersweet. Touching and real depictions based on a Truman Capote story.

The snow melted a little yesterday. Today is not getting as warm as they first predicted so we might get to keep our after Christmas snow for a few more days. :snowhappy2:
