I can't tell if Hallmark Christmas Movies are the multi-media equivalent of hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies or actually just a black hole of holiday ennui with a candy cane-coated side of existential dread that peers directly into the deepest, darkest recesses of my emotionally despondent yuletide soul.
I don't think this song really clears up the matter. Perhaps I need to watch a few more of these movies?
Happy Holidays, one and all!
