Hello! Hope you all had a terrific weekend. I am in the thick of watching my romantic Christmas movies and watch at least one every day. I’m talking about the sweet Hallmark type ones that always have a happy ending. They are so good! I’m slightly obsessed and my PVR has so many waiting for me. Anyone else love them as much as I do?

Yes!! I love the Hallmark Christmas movies. I started watching them two weeks ago. Makes Christmas decorating and baking so much more fun, than watching depressing news stories.

I love a sweet holiday movie. One of my favorite Christmas movies is “Love Actually.” It make me tear up every time, but it is such a great story.
