The Hallmark Channel has been
playing Christmas movies since just after Halloween. I used to make fun of
Christmas movies. They were always too sappy for me. I’m more of a National
Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation kind of girl—making fun of the whole holiday
festivities.
However, lately I’ve been getting
sucked into these Christmas movies. Have I finally softened on the holiday
spirit of Christmas? Maybe. Just a little.
There is something about Christmas,
how this time of year affects people, bringing them closer, and the Christmas
movies add a touch of magic that is already in the air. I think I understand
now why I keep watching them. Christmas movies make us feel better in a world
where every day there is some disaster in the news.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
