So, why am I watching a YouTube version of this movie instead of one of the 15 movies on my DVR? Because this one is the start of a trilogy and I'm in the mood for some continuity, so here we go! Finding Father Christmas debuted in 2016, but we won't a little thing like … Continue reading #77 – Finding Father Christmas

#76 – The Princess Switch
I'm up super early to get this one in, as Saturday is generally a busy day for us in the Just So You Don't Have To house. I have been psyched to see this one since I found out about it, and without further ado, I present my first Netflix film for the season - The … Continue reading #76 – The Princess Switch
#75 – Christmas at the Palace
Christmas at the Palace. Two of my favorite words in one title? Yes, please! In all fairness, I was going to watch this live Thanksgiving night, but after a day of cooking and dish-washing, I just fell asleep during some other show, so I'm glad my DVR still has some room on it so I … Continue reading #75 – Christmas at the Palace
#74 – Christmas at Pemberly Manor
It's been a very busy few weeks. Family vacations, back to work, rehearsals for a production of Macbeth. Every time I have tried to sit down to escape into the delightful world of Hallmark Christmas movies, I have just gotten too stressed to enjoy them. But, thankfully, Macbeth opened last night, I have a whole morning with the TV, … Continue reading #74 – Christmas at Pemberly Manor
#17 – Christmas Encore
So, I'm taking advantage of the snow day and catching up on the last Christmas movie on my DVR, just for you lucky people. I think I've saved this one, because it has to do with theater, near and dear to my heart, and I wanted to savor just how much it gets wrong. So … Continue reading #17 – Christmas Encore
#16 A Prince For Christmas
I know, I know, it's 2018, and Christmas is over. But technically, we are in the 12 Days of Christmas at least until January 6, so I will skirt A Prince for Christmas in under the wire with this gem from the Ion Channel. What will be the difference between My Christmas Prince, A Christmas Prince, and A … Continue reading #16 A Prince For Christmas
#15 A Princess For Christmas
So today, I'm indulging in another favorite...are we sensing a theme here? A Princess for Christmas follows all the fabulous tropes of our other royal installments - girl who doesn't understand the way royals work, big castle, a ball with a moment where she stops traffic (although in this one, I don't think it's because she … Continue reading #15 A Princess For Christmas
#14 A Royal Christmas
Today's installment is a variation on the undercover royal/Christmas bride theme that we experienced during My Christmas Prince. But since this one premiered last year, we'll give the edge to the one with an actual star in it - ta da! Jane Seymour appears as the snobby queen, dueling wits with Lacey Chabert over Prince Leo, played … Continue reading #14 A Royal Christmas
#13 A Royal Christmas Ball
Words cannot express how excited I am to get into this one. From the Ion Channel, as you can see it stars Sharknado star and one of the worst actresses I've ever seen, Tara Reid, and the guy who was on General Hospital back when I watched that show. He hasn't aged that well. We start with B-roll … Continue reading #13 A Royal Christmas Ball
#12 My Christmas Prince
So today, while I wait for the laundry to finish and my kids to get out of school, I'm taking a trip to Lifetime - specifically, their offering this year of My Christmas Prince, not to be confused with A Christmas Prince, and all the other royal movies that are still on my DVR (don't judge). Now, … Continue reading #12 My Christmas Prince
