Rediscovering Christmas

It's was pretty boring. I feel like I've already watched two or three Christmas Lifetime movies where the main character designs department store windows. Hey Lifetime, can you pick a different career for you main characters? Why are they always in advertising, marketing or event planners?

Yet another run of the mill Christmas plot with bland dialog. The main characters are likable but unconvincing as a couple. Yep, a ho hum Lifetime Christmas movie. Please, can we have quality instead of quantity?

This film is okay, just that. It's not great, it's not really bad. The story is not new nor suprising.

It is however a movie you don't want to see twice. The second time around - Over 1 year later and not planned, I just happend to walk across it again this year while having the flu and the title didn't sound familiar, but 10 minutes in I knew - is just to mutch.

I like feel-good movies, I like the predictable 'everything is going to be alright', especially when I'm sick. But this storyline is just a bit to blend. To be honest there doesn't seem to happen that mutch.

And while happening in very many christmas movies (and yes I know it is a very small thing...) I have to say: No-one ever, ever warmed up by just hanging a scarf behind the neck (without wrapping it around).

It teaches the importance of both the old and the new. The leading couple have great chemistry. The supporting cast was wonderful, too. Jessica Lowndes fan, here, too.

Maybe we're just uber critical ... or just from the wrong generation. But Jessica, Jessica, Jessica. Lose the vocal fry. It sounds like you're constantly gargling with frogs. We switched over to watch Attenborough. He's someone who knows real frogs.
