Childhood Nostalgia:

…Also yes the irony of having a few christmas romcoms on here when I typically don’t like romcoms as a general rule it’s easier than saying I Have These Squicks and Okay This Is Fine, Specifically (and loathe the Halmark Christmas Romcom TM especially), but in all fairness these:

1) don’t have that Godawful Nowhere’s Ville + Love Triangle (and cheating on the existing boyfriend/fiance who they often give an Asshole Personality to make the later cheating seem less shitty except…Lumberjack TM is also a jerk…), and

2) are often incredibly self-aware that they’re a Christmas Romcom TM and commit to the bit or go Nah and do their own thing.

I can respect that. (But also, the complete over-saturation of christmas romcoms into the christmas genre. Watching then is kinda inevitable.)
