My Take on Hallmark Christmas Movies

I can't believe I have sort of gotten hooked on these.

I've laughed a lot at them--and myself!

And--I have made some observations that I haven't 

noticed anyone mentioning yet.

#1: There must be a trip to a Christmas tree lot to

select and cut a fresh tree in every one.

Methinks the lot looks suspiciously identical, too,

in every one.

I guess fake trees would make the movies seem...

fake. HaHaHa!

We wouldn't want that!

#2: The snowball fight has become a staple.

(Maybe it always has been. I'm a newbie at this!)

And I'm not sure all would be as jovial in real life

being hit by some of those fast (snow) balls!

#3: Perhaps a little more subtle, but it is...

the near miss kiss!

In the first three I watched, when our 

hero and heroine finally got to looking into each 

other's eyes and moving closer...closer...oops!

One or the other either chickened out or

someone comes up, interrupting the big moment!

Think it's happening here?

Well it's not! Our hero backs out this time!

#4: Again in those first three I watched I couldn't

miss that they must have only one hairdresser

who did only one style. The twirly curl.

I love long curly curls, but I drew the line when 

Leanne Rimes and her mother in the show 

had matching hair!
Sorry I didn't get a picture of that.

I have a couple of general observations too.

First, I love it that old favorite Christmas carols

are sung in almost every movie.
Carols that tell the story of the birth of Jesus.

I also wish our problems and misunderstandings

in life were worked out as smoothly and

quickly and perfectly as they are in these stories.

That families could be quickly and gloriously mended.

And that true love would always prevail!
