25 Days of Hallmark Movies, Day 23: "Northern Lights of Christmas"

"Northern Lights of Christmas" is not a good or groundbreaking movie. It has all the same elements as countless others, but some reason this one managed to get me misty in parts. Maybe it's from having watched Hallmark movies 23 days in a row that my sarcasm has been disabled. Or maybe it's because of Hallmark heavy hitter Ashley Williams' acting chops. Either way, I started ovulating and weeping during this one, spilling Chunky Monkey all over my Pink sweatpants.

25 Days of Hallmark Movies, Day 21: "Welcome To Christmas"

Plot summary: the small, sleepy town of Christmas, Colorado is desperate to convince a real estate developer to choose them for a ski resort and will stop at nothing to get their way, going so far as to keep her trapped in town and to pimp out their handsome sheriff to charm her. This town bends over backwards to get taken advantage of for money. Christmas? More like Whore-mas.

Have some self respect, Christmas, you're embarrassing yourself.
