12 Days of Christmas Movies: Introduction

Dear Carrie,

Let's get this movie marathon party started!

You know the rules:  I will watch and review/recap/discuss 12 Christmas movies in 12 days.  I realize the actual, original rules we previously discussed required me to watch 12 Hallmark Channel Christmas movies in 12 days?  But I don't know if that's really going to work for me.  For example, I tried to start watching a recorded movie last night, but due to circumstances beyond my control (the Patriots were on TV) the TV was unavailable to me and I had to watch something on my iPad, which pretty much leaves me with Netflix.  Also, the Hallmark Christmas movies that look "good" don't come on until closer to Christmas, and I think I should get this ball rolling now.  So here's what I propose:

1.  12 movies in 12 days
2.  I will stick to recent TV movies, i.e. no Christmas Vacation or Elf.  Only recent, made-for-TV movies, and I will aim for a high cheese factor.  I'll try to make them Hallmark movies, but movies may also include those found on Lifetime, Netflix or other channels, depending on personal convenience.  
3. No guarantee of word count on these reviews.

How does that sound?  Let me know if you have any questions or requests.  First review will be up tomorrow!  Ho ho ho!

P.S.  Apparently I haven't looked at this blog in 8 years!  Yikes.  I'm embarrassed.  Let me know if you would prefer I just e-mail you these recaps.  It might be less painful for all (two) of us.

Christmas Movie #2: Santa Girl

"Fleeing the family business and an arranged marriage, Santa’s daughter chooses a magical adventure of her own: College.” Cassandra Claus is Santa’s only daughter.   She’s a teenager.   She is slated to take over the family business this year.   And she is scheduled to marry Jack Frost, Jr., around the same time, so that the Kringles and Frosts can merge the family businesses.   This is an arranged marriage and the two teenagers have never met.   Cassie is not super into it, but she understands she has family responsibilities. Cassie is dragged out of bed by her assigned elf slave, Pep.   She eats candy for breakfast and whines.   I would probably whine, too, if an elf yelled me out of bed in the morning.  This is around August. Pep has delivered Cassie some mail with her breakfast tray.   What’s this?   Cassie got into college in The Real World!   She is so excited because she really wants a chance to meet regular people and make friends.   She isn’t sure how

I have been drooling over this this pretty food blog for the past few days, so when presented with my own especially delightful breakfast this weekend, I felt compelled to take a picture of it: My photo is not that great, but the meal was. Cristina's eggs: Crunchy toast with a bit of olive oil, topped with charred tomatoes, spinach, and poached eggs, and then finished with sprinkles of balsamic and parmesan. Now go check out Simply Breakfast ! It makes me wish I had leisurely mornings.
