instituted our first “first-year doc student showcase” (name in progress), having students cap off their seminar with poster presentations on ideas they are studying/exploring. They did such a great job! I also had an annoying jacket and a Polaroid so it was a win all around.

Christmas at Hart Castle - another “yeah sure!” Here. Writing was pretty decent and you anticipate the drama but it still gets you. Fine!

Christmas Waltz - brother they put a Christmas love story into a backdrop of ballroom dancing, you KNOW I’m being targeted. Good representation of ballroom dancing and a cute story. Felt real nice watching this. It’s in the rotation for SURE

Christmas in Notting Hill. Feeling pretty average! Kinda wasn’t paying attention if we are being honest.

A Heidelberg Holiday - incredibly cringe. Heidi Heidelberg in Heidelberg. You best BELIEVE they make that joke. Fun and cute with her finding professional success while he learns more about himself along the way and leans to express his creativity thanks to her. Will watch again.

A Merry Scottish Christmas - stupid writing, cringe acting, some nice themes of like sibling bonds but incredibly unbelievable. Might watch again.

yo we are starting off STRONG with A Biltmore Christmas. I laughed, I cried, I gasped. Appropriate level of cringe with some excellent one liners and general dialogue. He sacrifices for her and there’s no real “so and so needs to find themselves etc” will rewatch next year
