Can’t sit through that artificial, predictable tripe.

It is a husband/wife thnig for me and Mrs. FD. We live to watch and make fun of them as we go.
It is kind of like a drinking game. I even have nick names for many of the characters. Our Heroine is “Holly.” She is cutely attractive but NEVER hot. The hot one is the current gf of the guy Holly will be falling in love with.
Holly’s self-absorbed but rich and handsome bf is Richard (’cause he’s a dick). Holly’s best friend is “Joy.”
I used to have a name for the guy (always sporting a 5 o’clock shadow) but I forgot it. Always helpful and wryly insightful. Maybe someone can suggest one?
Add in a wise old ma or dad — rarely both and almost always a widow(er) who was married to the best person ever and a snow covered Santa’s Village setting named “Green EverPine Hollows,” mix in a misunderstanding out of “I Love Lucy” followed by finding the “true meaning of Christmas” and — boom — Hallmark Christmas movie!
I tell my wife, “I could have written this movie” and she tells me “ well why don’t you.”
Guess you don’t ever watch any movie at all then. There are no new stories
We love them!
We created a spread sheet listing the mandatory elements:
Good looking person gets dumped, goes home to North Pole, meets gorgeous guy, old boyfriend, has snow ball fight, goes ice skating, ...after 45 minutes...dramatic tragedy occurs, but miraculously the couple gets together and kisses.
I LOVE IT.
Plus all the guys are 6 foot 2 plus and great looking and it is most enjoyable to see.
One thing more, HE dances (badly) with the girl, who he ALWAYS twirls. We call it time to “twirl the girl.”
