Hallmark Movies are the Romance Tutorials I didn’t know I needed

“I can’t believe people watch this drivel and I have to go without my Golden Girls reruns for a whole month of this foolishness,” I would rant during the Hallmark Christmas movie marathons in December.

I thought these movies were ridiculous and I couldn’t understand why people liked them…until last summer when one of the movies caught my attention.

As the Christmas season approached, I admitted on Facebook that I had fallen hook, line, and sinker for the Hallmark Christmas movies. Sure, they were absolutely predictable, corny, and unrealistic but I always found some nugget of wisdom in them.
