Viewing Notes

Another I wanted for my 12 Days of Christmas project but didn’t get it in time. Glad I still watched it because this is a great movie. Seriously. Probably the best christmas movie with the worst title. I hadn’t even heard of it until I this year when I was looking up high rated holiday movies. Gets a little schmaltzy towards the end but a real good look at how family christmas goes down with real characters. So many excellent moments.

Honestly I’m surprised how this sucked me in and pulled all the heartstrings. I’d recommend this movie for anyone’s Christmas movie watching.
