Hey Hilerie,
Don’t watch, change the channel, f*** off!
For someone who doesn’t watch any of it, you sure have those movies down pat! I stopped watching when the LGBT story lines started. But some other things I noticed: The couple usually meet by literally bumping into each other, causing one or both of them to drop all the stuff they’re carrying. The hero often has a snooty, snobby girlfriend who is all wrong for him, until he finally comes to his senses and realizes that the heroine is the one for him. The heroine always has a warm, loving, supportive best friend who is usually a person of color. Twenty minutes before the end of the movie, it looks like some misunderstanding is going to keep the couple apart, but of course they straighten it all out at the very last minute. A tree-lighting ceremony, a gazebo, and cookie-baking must happen at some point in the movie.
‘until he finally comes to his senses and realizes that the heroine is the one for him.’
generally ten minutes into the movie...
‘Twenty minutes before the end of the movie, it looks like some misunderstanding is going to keep the couple apart’
generally based on some telephone call or conversation that is only partly heard, regarding a job somewhere else or a love life with some other woman, at which point the perky girl becomes moody and evasive, causing the hero great angst...
‘but of course they straighten it all out at the very last minute.’
what passes for crisis resolution in Hallmarkland...which consists of only two states, Vermont and Colorado...
‘A tree-lighting ceremony, a gazebo, and cookie-baking must happen at some point in the movie.’
don’t forget the hot chocolate sipping, and the awkward meeting under mistletoe that goes from embarassment to french kissing in the blink of an eye...
Anyone know how to find the channel?
Thank you.

She’s Kirk Cameron’s sister. He was in “Growing Pains”, got saved, and now is an evangelist. He and his wife adopted a bunch of kids, and they’re active in the anti-abortion movement. At least they were a few years ago when we lived where they do.
Oh, no! Not ... gasp ... TOXIC MASCULINITY!
Inheriting a pumpkin patch business, or a Christmas tree business, back in Hometown USA are the ones that crack me up. Leave the big city to tend to the family business, run into old boyfriend. Leave big city forever. The End.
I watched that last week. It is very good! Different from the norm.
VERY UNSEEMLY for Jews to diss Christ loving Christians!!
LOL. He is a gayboy atheist. I guarantee you he hates religious Jews even more than Christians.
Who? Paul Rudnick?
Journey Back to Christmas is a great family movie. Nurse Hannah’s story made an impression on me. Loved seeing life in the 1940’s and the sweet ending.
It was an exceptional movie. :-)
Oh, that was a time-travel tale, wasn’t it? Yeah, I enjoyed that one, too.
Yes it was time travel and quite different. Very good writing.
I’ve been watching the Great American Family channel movies. I watch them BECAUSE they are benign, normal, sappy and have traditional values. I want to escape from violence and wokeness that’s on TV and in the world. They are calm and happy.
Wife LOVES Hallmark Christmas movies - spends most evenings in July, November and December watching them. She says she has tried to watch GAF Christmas movies, but can’t get into them - they often fall away from the Hallmark formula too far for her. So it’s the formula that matters, I guess. I’ll peek occasionally, only because the female leads are usually quite pretty.
