We watch as many holiday movies as possible throughout the month.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
What could go wrong?
It’s silly and hokey and not believable in the slightest, so laugh along and enjoy.
I’m happy to report that it does not disappoint.
I’ve watched it twice already and can tell I’ll watch this probably every holiday season to come.
So I turned to more mellow Christmas and holiday-adjacent albums.
Phoebe Bridgerss album is a gigantic mood.
And I heartily recommend it!
And then, of course,feelingshappen.
I have no idea.
For all I know, its extremely well-loved and popular and Im just not looking in the right places.
The formerHigh School Musicalstar plays double (and spoiler: triple!)
roles in this Netflix film duet.
The details don’t really matter do they?
Watch her in this and Netflix’sKnight Before Christmasand tell me she’s not a rom-com natural.
The first time I sawLittle Womenin theaters (OMG, remember those?)
I sobbed the whole way through, because it was just so well done.
If you (still) love New York, enjoy this delightful story.
Its for good reason, though.
What more could you want at Christmas?
Was it kind of disappointing?
Will I probably watch it again?
Low bar, I know.
But yes, no spoilers, but everything you heard about Aubrey Plaza’s character is true.
But I decided to pick it back up to enjoy the winter update.
Yes, my villagers were a little mad that Id been gone for so long (sorry!
), but Im happy to be back.
Its a good combination that allows me to wallow alittlewithout full-on hurting my own feelings.
We kick off the holidays with this film each year and it never disappoints.
