1. They are strangely comforting. Bad amateur acting with Canadian accents but I watch them

[3catwoman3]

9. I agree - guaranteed happy ending.

My favorites are A Very Merry Mix Up, and A Crown for Christmas. Rupert Penry-Jones - mmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmm! Love the ballroom scene with Danica McKellar in that gorgeous red gown, and the ending, when the king rides up on his horse.

18. A Very Merry Mix-Up is my fave one too!

Along with Angels in the Snow and December Bride.

19. While the premise of Mixup is pretty unrealistic (falling in love in 3 days), as...

...someone who had to wait 4 years for my husband to be ready to get married, the certainty of the Matt Mitchum character as to his feelings for Alice, and his willingness to pursue them, have a wistful "wouldn't it have been nice" appeal for me.

We've now been married 9 times as long as I waited for him.

[MaryMagdaline]

20. I'll watch for that!

Actually watching a Turkish soap opera on Netflix ... Intersection. Has kept me distracted for a few weeks.

2. You must have been very naughty this year.

[Pantagruel]

3. Geneva Convention violation

report her.

[Generic Brad]

4. At least you get a story to watch

My wife has long been obsessed with documentaries on topics I have no interest in. But she has recently replaced that for a new obsession: random You Tube videos of cats and top ten lists.

7. living big in tiny houses is my favorite

YouTube show. Each episode is short and they are interesting.

[Moostache]

5. mine too!

[whistler162]

6. That is what you get for missing

that special day at some point years ago.

[Glamrock]

8. Man, you ain't alone brother.

Mine's cut from the same cloth. Wish I had the ability to go crank up a Marshall or fender in the next room and get lost....

[SeattleVet]

14. my husband tortures me that way!

I can't stand the things! But we work out a swap. He watches British detective shows with me.

[calguy]

15. I don't mind my wife watching EVERY Hallmark Christmas movie

Because while she's one one room watching Hallmark, I'm the other room watching EVERY football game. It's good to have two TV's.

[handmade34]

16. some program on NPR called them

"pop culture junk food"...

[Polly Hennessey]

17. I agree they are strangely comforting.

I am continually astounded at the awful Christmas over-decoration; the snow gently falling, always falling; and, the dozens and dozens of baked cookies. Watch them just before bed. I guarantee you will have visions of sugar plums dancing in your head. Sweet dreams in your slumber you’ll have. I promise, I promise.

[PJMcK]

21. Why do you think my wife and I divorced?! (n/t)

[NightWatcher]

22. Get stoned out of your mind first. It's what I do.

Then just sit by and stare at their faces while you play the role of Good Husband and let her have her movie.

[Flaleftist]

23. Smart phones come in handy, eh?

So do tablets and headphones.

[MicaelS]

24. Jeez, it's only a few weeks out of the year.

What a bunch of Grinches.
