Santa Tell Me, the movie about a magic Christmas note that writes itself and forces dudes to fall for a woman, is a rollicking good time during parts of the movie. In other parts of the movie, it is an emotional masterpiece. And still in other parts of the movie, it is pure terror. My wife and I watched this the other night to close out Hallmark's three month run of Christmas movies. My wife fell asleep during the movie. She briefly woke up after the movie ended and I was watching Sportscenter and asked groggily if the main lady ended up with the guy yet. I told my wife that all the main characters were killed in a fiery boat accident where drinking was involved. That seemed to satisfy my wife's question, and she went back to sleep.

The actual movie, which focused on an HGTV show host relentlessly dating several dudes named Nick, was far less believable. I watched it to the end of the movie, and then poured one out for another successful Hallmark Christmas movie run - even though that was the first Hallmark movie I really watched this holiday season. But at least it had Chin-Implant Guy, who is becoming a staple of my holiday seasons. Bring on January!

I am currently in the middle of this movie with my wife. We are watching it on demand. We thought this was a Hallmark movie, but it is actually a Great American Family movie, which means that Candace Cameron Bure is not the reason there are no gay people in this movie. They just aren't. I missed the beginning of this movie, but my wife filled me in: marketing executive who lost her job and is being considered for a job in California if she makes a movie about food. She visits her sister, a military wife who lives in a $10 million dollar Connecticut mansion with a giant kitchen island. She is learning to bake thanks to Chin-Implant Guy, who is a staple of Hallmark Christmas movies and who has "symmetrical highlights" according to my wife, and they are falling in love. Yeesh. What more could you want?

We are about halfway through this movie, and they are already clearly in love. Not sure what the conflict will be. But I think it will involve her turning down her big job in California to be with Chin Implant. I don't know exactly what this California job entails, but this woman seems less and less concerned about it because she now wants to win the "Connecticut Charity" Baking Contest - for charity! The main character's sister definitely keeps a tidy house in that huge mansion. So.....Merry Christmas to all, and let's get some gay people in your movies, Great American Family!
