Christmas in the City - Holiday Movie Musings

by Friday, November 29, 2019
“Christmas in the City”, in which every “small town woman in the big city” trope gets played out, including shock at homeless people, inability to get a cab, and worldly friend in the city is struggling artist in retail who can inexplicably afford a large, light-filled apartment. That said, this is one I watched last year and am watching again this year because the acting is pretty good, and Asha...

Home for Christmas - Holiday Movie Musings

by Wednesday, November 27, 2019


Home for Christmas (Amazon Prime, 2014) has absolutely NOTHING to do with Christmas. Don’t be fooled. Poo on you, Amazon Prime or whomever named this misleading movie. It’s not bad, just not Christmas. At. All.

Christmas in Vermont - Holiday Movie Musings

by Monday, November 25, 2019


Christmas in Vermont: Morgan Fairchild has a LOT of Botox going on. Howard Hesseman is good in pretty much everything. Storyline seems good so far, and Chevy Chase has a small role (don't let the cover with him on it fool you into thinking it's more than a cameo, really). Jury is still out. On Amazon, BTW.

Buttermilk Bread

by Friday, November 22, 2019
We have two new neighbors move in within the past month, and I have been wanting to get over to welcome them and share contact information for weeks, but it didn’t work out over and over due to illness and life. This week, using a recipe that is new to me, I baked a couple loaves of bread—one for each—intending to stop by and meet them both while it was nearly still warm. But I was way too exhau...

The Knight Before Christmas - Holiday Movie Musings

by Thursday, November 21, 2019
The Knight Before Christmas with Vanessa Hudgens is making me aggro. Seriously? He can just...drive a car, and treats it...like a horse? I have a high tolerance for ridiculous in these movies, but this is off the charts. (List adding up: He knows how to use a TV remote immediately? He knows how to use a toilet? Faucet? Zipper? And on and on.) The characters are cute, the stage is set for romance...

Christmas Wedding Planner - Holiday Movie Musings

by Thursday, November 21, 2019


Christmas Wedding Planner, not a movie about Christmas or wedding planning, really. Bust. Taking a break from Christmas movies to watch At Middleton on Prime with Vera Farmiga and Andy Garcia. Smart and funny writing, good acting. Some weak moments, but I can hang. Really like it. Recommend THAT, but not Christmas Wedding Planner.

Santa Girl - Holiday Movie Musings

by Monday, November 18, 2019



Santa Girl is Christmas B-Movie perfection. Terrible sets and costuming, some mixed acting. Predictable ending. Charming regardless. Definitely recommend.

Sick, and holiday movies begin!

by Monday, November 11, 2019
Being down and out means a little more time with the TV. And the glut of holiday movies have hit Netflix, of which today and yesterday I watched three. The current one I finished is  “Christmas in the Heartland”. It’s a weird mash-up of Prince and the Pauper meets The Parent Trap and then a twist at the end that wraps up so quickly and neatly it will leave your head spinning. So neatly and happily...
