It’s only halfway through November and it’s already been A MONTH. Luckily when times get tough, I have found my outlet (and it’s not even drinking, you guys.) When life gets heavy, my defense mechanism is Christmas. I noticed this about myself during COVID especially. I will never forget it was mid-July and things were feeling bleak. So I cranked up the Christmas music, snuggled on the couch, and watched an old Hallmark movie. Bliss.
Something about burying yourself in holiday cheer makes everything better, doesn’t it?
Christmas Will Fix It
This week on the podcast, we invited our producer Ann Marie Taepke to play some holiday games with us and have a guaranteed laugh. One of the games we played was to determine if a movie title was a real Hallmark movie or not. (I am proud to say I got 80% of them right.) Ann Marie came up with a few more just for this blog, scroll down to the bottom to get the answers.
Can you guess if these are real or not?
