    I saw Christmas Crush.  The leads were likeable, but it went all in on the “female can’t stand up for herself” syndrome.  I understand the lead felt she caused the problem with her vague wish, but a firm discussion, especially after wrong guy showed up at her work, would have ended a lot of heartache.

    No matter what Addie tried (messing up her hair, eating ketchup, playing bagpipes), the wrong guy was still under the power of the wish to be enamored by her.     

  2. 12 Pups of Christmas (2019) debuted on ION.  Yes, lots of puppies. But after 90 minutes into the movie, the main human character Erin still had an off-putting attitude.  I chose to change the channel; felt like watching something else more upbeat.  Maybe will catch the last 30 minutes some other time. 

    Christmas Crush (2019) also premiered on ION this weekend.  The main character Addie has to repeatedly fend-off a suitor who is accidentally under her own magic wish to pursue her.  However, Addie meant that wish for her true crush who she then goes after.  Complications ensue.

    Throughout the movie, Addie is busy organizing an important party for her work called something like "The Donner Charity Event."   At one point in the planning phase for the event, a character refers to it as "The Donner Party." Another character immediately corrects the words back to The Donner Event.   I appreciated that there was no explanation to the viewing audience about why calling it "The Donner Party" could be a poor choice of words.  I savor it when a movie has a little nugget like that.

  3. Was doing chores while Every Day But Christmas was playing in the background (on Bounce TV).  Caught some of the plot just by ear.   But the last twenty-five minutes was drawn to stop chores and watch the ending.  Now I plan to watch the whole movie, as I clearly missed out on some interesting scenes with mysterious characters who interacted with main character, Jordan.

  4. Arriving 15 minutes before Disneyland's opening with an empty parking lot and no one waiting!  Was thinking the Goldberg family had arrived at 8:45am on their watches (still on eastern time) but 5:45am Pacific Time.  Then remembered in National Lampoon's Vacation the theme park was closed for repairs.
