I’ve actually never watched a Hallmark Christmas Movie (yet) but this ep of @quietriotpod.bsky.social gave me absurd amounts of joy. My advice: give it a listen before the year’s out!

I flipping loved the recent Part 2 QR - the conversation about ‘where shall we find joy?’ moved me absolutely to tears. So compassionate and heart-ful.
Thank you for your part in that and for all the lovely things you share here.
Successful high flying woman from city returns home for Xmas to her chocolate box small town. A family crisis. Ex high school sweetheart who makes wooden animal sculptures comes on the scene. They dance at the Xmas parade and fall in love. She stays. The end
The movies tend to be like a 4-cheese pizza made with cheese-filled pizza dough base, extra Parmesan grated over the top and served with a cheese dip and cheese straws.
Followed by cheese cake.
And then cheese and biscuits.
