It seems like it's been Christmas Eve for a couple of days + Hallmark 🎄 movie BINGO cards

I said to my wife on Friday that it seemed like Christmas Eve and Christmas was still 5 days away. It’s seemed like that each day since. Not that I’m in a hurry, I’m loving it. Our daughter is home. They have made cookies. Presents are all wrapped. We’re really having a blast.

We’ve been watching quite a few sappy formula* Christmas movies (the Hallmark ones are way better) as well as claymation and live action stuff - Family vacation, Elf, etc.
* Formula = THE KISS, rip through the credits, next movie starts all within 30 seconds.

My wife made up some Bingo cards. Those are cut up Post-It notes we used to mark the squares.

We watched one last night set in a mythical European country called Ancadia. A Prince was involved- you know the rest. The pickup truck was just going to happen ☹️

Dog can be a tough one. They shoot these in 2-3 weeks from what I’ve been able to find so using a live animal can mess up a scene.

in KCMO this year in July. A chiefs love story —no not Taylor and Travis. It was so hot here at that time and there they were in the movie walking around in winter gear and knit hats. No live animals in this one- only Chiefs KC wolf.

Haven’t seen it.

We tend to go with the formula. Whatever’s next is next. I crack up at how not only do they fly through the credits but now they shrink them over to the side while they run a promotion of their other shows. Hardly any time between the kiss and the next movie.
