Are you observing the Hallmark Holidays?

12/11/2015

 
The delightful Julianna W. Miner of Mommyland Rants and I sure have. Like holidays observed all over the world, the Hallmark Holidays have certain traditions that must be followed. To sort out the true believers from the once-a-year popper-inners, we developed a little quiz:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that attractive single people fall in love at Christmas when it snows. Your true love is definitively confirmed when:

(a) You bump heads while ice skating or tying a bow.
(b) He/she gently wipes a smear of cookie frosting off your cheek.
(c) You met 20 years ago in an echoing flashback but neither one of you remembers a thing about it...yet.
(d) Your sassy and eccentric best friend/wise old uncle/tipsy grandmother tricks you into spending time alone together.
(e) You end up in a car in a snowstorm with a stranger, far from home with no cell phone or ability to reach your family.*

*Note: Careful! If this is on Lifetime instead of Hallmark, it could be an abduction/ritual killing.
Finish the Hallmark Holiday Quiz and see how well you know the rules. On Huffington Post Comedy.

PS Today Show Parents thought I was funny this week, which is always debatable. See what you think.

Don't fight it

Brace yourselves, because I'm about get all name droppy and link crazy with news. I've been posting Hallmark holiday movie reviews with my TV soul sister Julianna W. Miner of Rants from Mommyland on our new Facebook page, Is This Hallmark Movie Good For a Hallmark Movie? We're really into it, you guys. Anyway, Sherry Kuehl, my spirit animal and the brain behind Snarky in the Suburbs caught the Hallmark channel fever and wrote a hilarious piece in the Kansas City Star, and on her blog. Read it at your own risk--if you do, something tells me you'll be grabbing the remote and printing a Hallmark Bingo Card before you even realize what happened. Just go with it. If a month of watching Hallmark movies has taught me one thing, it's that you can't escape your fate. (If it's taught me two things, it's that and the irresistibility of a smoky eye and mermaid curls.)

    Did You Hear?
