Wildfires, shootings, tornados,
blizzards, politics. The news had gotten
so discouraging, I started watching the business channel, but the ups and downs
of the market were making me seasick.
Even the comedy shows were anything but. TV was not enjoyable. I wanted to get away from all that. I checked, but there was no Calgon anywhere
to be found.
I needed to find some escapism
entertainment. I found the Hallmark
Channel. They usually show mild movies,
even though the story line is always the same – girl breaks up with boyfriend
and returns home, meets first love who broke her heart. They renew their friendship while preparing
for Christmas. There’s always a snow
scene and a Christmas tree with all the trimmings and other decorations. Of course, there’s some misunderstanding, but
everything works out and they live happily ever after.
These movies are just what I need
for this stressful time. Unfortunately,
there is one drawback. I want to put my
Christmas tree up and start decorating, but I have to wait until after
Thanksgiving to do that.
