We’ve been using our time wisely today with a few Christmas movies. Let me save you the bother of watching, with a neat summary of the plot… for every single one…
City Girl (usually a whizz at marketing) inherits a farm/town festival/bakery in Small Town she grew up in, up-state. She leaves Slick Boyfriend behind and drives there. Immediately, she meets Country Hunk and they dislike each other, probably over some simple misunderstanding. Country Hunk is of course surrounded by Cute Old Couple, Concerned Sister, and Adorable Child, who is the first to warm to City Girl over shared love of horses/cookies/Christmas. City Girl and Country Hunk embark on Festive Project, and it all goes swimmingly as she gradually falls in love with Small Town and, yes, with Country Hunk, until Slick Boyfriend suddenly arrives with his Moral Choice. Will she pick the level-headed, economically-obvious, community-destroying option to turn the town into a leisure park/condo development/wasteland, or the wholesome option of keeping everything just as twinkly and warm as it’s always been? Meanwhile, Concerned Sister works out that Country Hunk likes City Girl and confronts him. Just as he’s about to do something about it though, City Girl of course, picks the city, angering Country Hunk, Concerned Sister and Cute Old Couple, and making Adorable Child wide-eyed with tears over her hot chocolate on Christmas Eve. But then City Girl has Epiphany Moment, ends it with Slick Boyfriend and rushes back to Small Town to reverse Moral Choice and sweep up Country Hunk in a repentant smooch while Small Town celebrates underneath the twinkling lights and perfectly-timed falling snow.
There you go. Merry Christmas, and, you’re welcome.
