TAKE ME AWAY






            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.
