Watch Time For Me To Come Home For Christmas
Okay, let's talk Christmas movies. Specifically, *that* Hallmark Christmas movie. You know the one? The one with the really, really long title?
Yes, I'm talking about Time For Me To Come Home For Christmas. Say it five times fast. I dare you.
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
Brace yourselves, folks. I'm about to say something that might get me banned from all future Christmas cookie swaps.
I... don't *love* it. There, I said it.
Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the Christmas cheer. I really do. But something about Time For Me To Come Home For Christmas just doesn't quite click for me.
The Title That Never Ends
Seriously, that title. It's a mouthful! It feels like they just kept adding words until they ran out of space on the poster.
Imagine trying to recommend it to someone. "Hey, you should watch... um... the one about... time... and coming home... and Christmas?" They'll be totally lost!
I'm pretty sure I spend more time trying to remember the title than I do actually watching the movie.
The Plot Thickens (…Or Does It?)
Hallmark movies are known for their predictable plots. But this one feels... extra predictable.
Boy meets girl, boy loses girl due to a ridiculously avoidable misunderstanding, boy wins girl back with a grand, overly sentimental gesture. Rinse and repeat.
I find myself screaming at the TV. "Just talk to each other!"
It's All About Perspective, Right?
Look, I get it. Some people adore Time For Me To Come Home For Christmas. And that's perfectly fine.
Maybe it's the cozy small-town setting. Maybe it's the ridiculously handsome lead actor. Maybe it's the sheer, unadulterated Christmas-ness of it all.
I guess my Christmas movie tastes are just a little... different. I prefer a little more spice in my eggnog, if you catch my drift.
Give Me the Quirky Elf!
Give me a quirky supporting character! Give me a plot twist that doesn't involve a delayed flight! Give me something, anything, that breaks the mold just a little bit.
There are some great Christmas movies out there! Movies with actual depth and engaging storylines.
I just haven't found that in Time For Me To Come Home For Christmas. Sorry, not sorry.
The Hallmark Movie I *Do* Love...
Okay, I feel like I need to redeem myself. I do love *some* Hallmark Christmas movies. I'm not a total Grinch!
There's this one with a baker and a prince... Never mind. Let's not get started on another ridiculously long title.
The point is, I can appreciate a good dose of Christmas cheese. Just maybe not *this* particular kind of cheese.
To Each Their Own Holly Jolly!
So, there you have it. My slightly controversial take on Time For Me To Come Home For Christmas.
Don't hate me! Just because I don't love it doesn't mean you can't.
Happy watching, and may your Christmas movie choices be merry and bright... whatever they may be!
Maybe I'll give it another try. In like, five years. When I've forgotten the entire plot. And the title.
