For What It’s Worth

Here we are again! It’s holiday season time, and I’ve been in the mood since July, thanks to Hallmark, which I know is cheesy, and the plots are transparent within the rst ve minutes, and the houses are decorated in so many lights no one would be able to a ord the electric bill, but hey, who cares, I still love it!

I noticed that men have barely tolerated Hallmark shows in past years, but this year must have them really reeling with Christmas in July, then Harvest for Fall, and now not one, not two, but three holiday channels twenty four hours a day till Christmas!

For those of you scratching your head, I’ll tell you what they are. Hallmark, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, and Great American Christmas, all with the same revolving actors playing di erent parts, but only slight variations in the themes. ere is always a bookstore movie, a corporate conglomerate coming into a small town to purchase a

bookstore, ranch, bed and breakfast, etc, and of course, a writer who has writer’s block, an executive who has lost his or her love for the holidays, and an enchanting bed and breakfast which is no longer solvent nancially.

So, you might say, what’s the attraction? It’s unexplainable, unde nable, but worth the time spent in front of the television, nonetheless. is is the time, if you’re married or in a relationship, that you de nitely want to have two television sets, preferably in a room where you will not be disturbed. ere may be no dinners served, no homework done, no desire to even leave the house, because Hallmark is your seasonal lover for the next few months.

For What it’s Worth, you can make the case that the entire family will bene t from you watching these mindless television shows, because it’s educational in a very long stretch of the concept of learning. You

are suddenly more creative, decorating the house at all hours of the night, putting ribbon on packages instead of just scotchtaping something together haphazardly, and rethinking the idea of adding fake snow to your decor. (Spoiler alert, don’t attempt it. Take it from me, you will spend all of January vacuuming it up!). Anyhow, give yourself this holiday vacation to come home from work, bring home an already cooked chicken, turn on Hallmark, and put your feet up. You deserve it!
