Romantic, Cheesy, & Christmassy

11/27/2018

Christmas just isn't Christmas unless cheesy (and clean) romance movies are involved! There are a few movies that are a bit too much even for myself to handle, so I've compiled a list of my favorites that I've watched over the years. Feel free to tell me your own favorites below!
Picture

​Princess Switch - I just watched this the other night. I loved it! I laughed way too much at the horse scene. And Vanessa Hudgens was surprisingly loveable in this sweet, Parent trap - esque clean romance!
Picture


​Everything You Want - Formally titled "Love Surreal," this movie is sweet and funny. I watch it every year, and it is a part of my holiday movie collection! 
Picture

​A Golden Christmas 2
- I didn't really like the first "Golden Christmas," but this one was much better! Particularly because of the puppies. 
Picture


​A Christmas Prince
- This one was cute, shamelessly plugged in "A Princess Switch," and has a sequel coming out soon, for which I cannot wait!
Picture
12 Dates of Christmas - This has got to be one of my favorites. I watch it multiple times every year. I love "Zack Morris" being the main character, and the storyline is pretty clever. It's also "supes" romantic. So, win right there.

​Dear Santa
 - This one is pretty cringe-worthy, but it's entertaining enough for me to watch it every year! It also has a nice message!
Picture

​A Christmas Kiss 
- It took me a few tries to watch this one, but I liked the female character so much that I pushed passed the awful (in my humble opinion) acting of the hero of the movie. 
Picture


​A Dogwalker's Christmas Tale - If you like dogs, you'll probably like this one a lot more. This one is super cheesy, but it served its purpose: a few moments of entertainment.
Picture


​Holiday Engagement 
- This one is a little more risqué than the other ones. I like the growth of their relationship in this one, though!
A few other mentions: "Christmas Crush" was cute, but was a little too good at reminding me of high school, so pass on that. "The Spirit of Christmas" was fine, too, but it was too spooky for my taste. (I'm a coward, you see.) "How Sarah Got Her Wings" was ridiculous. I did NOT like that one. "Christmas in the Smokies" was really great until the end...it was kinda lackluster. 
I have a few others on my watch list this year, including "Christmas Wedding Planner," "Christmas with a View," and "Angels in the Snow."
So there you have it! What are some of your favorite cheesy, Christmas romances?? Did I miss any of your favorites?

"Introvertedness" Is Not a Word

It's not. I looked it up. However, I still use it to describe my reasoning for mostly wanting to stay inside rather than socialize. My ideal Friday night consists of sitting on my couch, writing for a few hours, and then watching one of my favorite period dramas with my husband until I fall asleep (usually around 1:00 AM).  Most days, I would choose this over going out at all.
As the years have passed, however, I have discovered how lonely this way of life can be at times. It can be even more lonely as a writer. 
When I was a wee lass, I decided to write, edit, print, publish, and market my own books all by myself, to satisfy my "introvertedness."

I do not recommend this. This is not a smart idea. This is a stupid idea.

Luckily, I've come to my senses. I now see how important it is, how wonderful it is, to seek the help of others, and to help them in return.

Recently, I have come in contact with a few authors and soon-to-be-authors, and to my great surprise and joy, I was not rejected, as I had feared. Not only have I been welcomed with open arms, I have been supported, encouraged, and helped by every person with whom I have come in contact.

The clean romance community is truly wonderful, readers and authors alike, and I am so blessed to be a part of it!
And despite my "introvertedness," I find myself becoming friends with fellow authors, wanting to spend time with them, enjoying their novels, and loving the moments I connect with them. 

Now all I need to do is get off my couch and talk to more people...​And "therein lies the rub"!
