Advent Calendar Day 24

 Ten Things I Learned from Watching Hallmark Christmas Movies

1 - Christmas tree lots are the perfect place to have deep, meaningful conversations with potential romantic interests. Also, Douglas Firs are everyone's favorite tree.

2 - Irreplaceable family recipes are lost on a regular basis but will be found when they are needed most. Same with treasured antique ornaments. 

3 - There is no such thing as spending too much money on Christmas decorations. One Christmas tree per household is the bare minimum.

4 - Be VERY careful about wishful thinking in public OR if you are anywhere near an angel tree-topper. Even snow globes can be dangerous if you're feeling pensive.

5 - You want kids. You just don't know it yet. 

6 - You're going to get the promotion/tenure/chance-in-a-lifetime. YAY!!! However, you'll realize you don't need it anymore.

7 - Whatever ails you, concussion will set you right.

8 - Whoever you're currently engaged to is probably not the person you really love.

9 - You were not meant for big city living. No one is.

10 - Small children, old people, and animals have forgotten more about love and making relationships work than you'll ever know.
