It’s the time of year that sappy, cheesy Hallmark Christmas romance movies start to come out. Lots of
- red and green in every scene
- bad acting
- weak plots
- Christmas sweaters
- snow and tinsel
- hot chocolate
- and happy endings.
They are formulaic and once you have seen one, you have seen them all. But when I am tired and it is dark outside I sometimes derive great pleasure from mindlessly watching them. You don’t need to concentrate and sometimes you really need to escape into happy families and a happy ending.
This year I have watched two so far and rather enjoyed them – A Castle for Christmas, and ‘Twas the Text Before Christmas – but I have to be in the mood.
I did chuckle at these though
