#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #999: Merry Christmas (Hindi)

Starts almost as a romance (woman meets man, takes him back to her place), turns into Hitchcockian thriller when she finds her husband's dead body... then it disappears, then reappears again?? Great film, will leave you guessing. 😵😵😵😵😵/5
Setting is a carnival. Indian man holds pink candyfloss whilst an Indian woman looks at him sceptically.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #49: Hot Frosty.

Romance didn't work for me, FMC was too maternal towards her supposed love interest, snowman was funny but too stupid to be a plausible. Best bit wwas Doug Judy and Boyle from Brooklyn 99, whole thing should have just been them. ☃️☃️☃️☃️💧/5
Lacey Chabert looks forward, frowning in confusion. Subtitle reads, "That is so funny. That looks like a girl I went to high school with.'

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #6: Twas the Text Before Christmas. Inspired by that Thanksgiving story, a wrong number text leads to a lonely woman spending Christmas with a strange family. This is a genuinely lovely film, the wholesome family dynamics work, the love story is well earned. 🌲🍷❄️☃️🥧/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #5: Meet Me Next Christmas.

girl has meet cute, then a FAKE meet cute. Her quest to track down fake cute leads to her falling in love with the friend she made along the way. There's also a Pentatonix sub-plot, reminiscent of the McFly subplot in Just My Luck. Fun.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #4: The Snow Sister. Incredibly sad Norwegian film about a bereaved child making a new friend, who has some secrets. Worth a watch but bear in mind it really is sad 😢 😢 😢 😭 😢/5
A child wrapped up warm for winter has his back to us as he says 'hi John's to another child. They are standing in a snowy street with Christmas trees all around.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #3: The Merry Gentleman. Fake Rockette loses her job, leaves NYC for her small hometown only to find her parents haven't paid the rent on their fake Rainbow Room. To save the day she organises local men to do fake Magic Mike. Fun to watch💃🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽/5
Two women stand in a bar decorated for Christmas. One womanwith long brown hair in a cowboy hat and plaid shirt covers her mouth in surprised delight. Her sister, with blonde hair in two braids and also wearing a cowboy hat covers her heart with a similar facial expression.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #2: 'Fall into Winter' sweet shop woman attempts enemies to lovers with man she has no chemistry with to a soundtrack of public domain musak. The kiss at the end (spoilers) is weirdly cut, b couple are cuter and more compelling
Woman in foreground has a weird look on her face, as though cross but not sure what at. Suited man in background is smiling as though he doesn't know what's going on.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #1 Best. Christmas. Ever! Mostly enjoyable. I appreciated the two leads were women in STEM. Are those round robins still being sent? Is the real meaning of Christmas the friends we made along the way? 🌲✨🎄🧪🎈/5

My friend gave me a sourdough starter recently. This is the second boule I've made with it. Still have no idea what I'm doing but it's better than the first one! And I have some ideas for what to do differently next time.
Sourdough boule cooling on a wire rack. The same sourdough boule as in picture 1, on a wire rack but cut in half. The cross section shows some tiny bubbles with larger bubbles near the top.
