Things I've learned from watching Hallmark Christmas movies

[XocolateThundarr]

I am working on the rules for a Hallmark Christmas movie drinking game.  Progress is slow due to the amount of booze it takes to actually watch one of those cinematic masterpieces.  If I can make through one without being blacked out, I may be able to finish.  Might qualify as a Festivus Miracle.

If you have moved away from your hometown, and then you go back for Christmas, you will fall in love while you are there.

in love with the town or some townie filly?

Typically both.  You'll move back to your hometown to start a new family with the hometown filly (and possibly her cute, but pretentious child)

She may or may not be your old high school girlfriend.

Lots of event planners and bookstore owners in the last couple of batches.

I just think some yells out "Veterinarian" in a pitch meeting and that is all it takes.

my goal this month is to get through all 173 of them.  i'm all caught up.  watched Christmas at Grand Valley and A Gingerbread Romance yesterday.
have a few days off until Small Town Christmas and Jingle Around the Clock on the 22nd.  looking forward to the downtime.  only 6 left, i can do this.

I enjoyed the Chicago based one where two random people can't sleep at night unless they sleep side by side one another. They find this out after she runs over him when she's out driving around one random night because she can't sleep.

I was skeptical that it was a Hallmark Channel movie when when I saw it was set in Chicago and not in a small town.

[420seriouscat69]

I know, big risk, but it paid off. Also, when I was in Frisco, CO last week, they were shooting a hallmark movie there during the time.

Whoa! I always assumed they were shot on soundstages in LA, because usually the snow is ridiculously fake

Yea, I figured they build one christmas small town and shoot the 30 films there.  Also, actresses are pretty much randomly assigned roles based on shooting schedules

[420seriouscat69]

Maybe this one was just a really special movie. 

[CHONGS]

A lot are filmed in Canada.

[pissclams]

i don't really give a rats ass where they film these sons of bitches

[CHONGS]

Yes you do you old scoundrel.
