I have to admit a guilty pleasure.... I love Christmas shows! and not just the awesome ones like A Muppet Christmas Carol, White Christmas and Elf. I mean I love all the them, every ridiculous made-for-tv movie/christmas special there is. I have watched tons of low-budget, poorly acted and absurdly storeylined movies, and loved them ALL! With the singular exception of 'Bad Santa' starring Billy Bob Thorton which I know I would despise for a myriad of reasons.
Last night I watched 'Santa Baby' and 'Santa Baby 2' starring Jenny McCarthy in the which she is Santa Claus' daughter. In the first movie she has to take over Christmas after Santa has a heart attack, throwing her back into her old life and eventually causing her to choose her prom king high school sweetheart boyfriend over her selfish all buisness minded city boyfriend, and the second movie Santa goes on a mid-life crisis and abandons Christmas leaving 'Mary' to save it again, with the help of her current and high school boyfriend (who is played by a different less-hot guy) in the end from a disgruntled elf who is posing as an assistant to help Santa but ultimately trying to take over the holiday!
RI- DICULOUS.....LY AWESOME!!!
Which leads me to my next question....
Why couldn't Jane Austen have written a Christmas Story of some sort?! I mean really, how hard could it have been!!
Or my follow-up question why hasn't anyone else made a Christmas movie set in the same time period at least?!? I am sure I would enjoy it just as much. When it comes to Christmas movies I am not to picky, as evidenced by my viewing choices last night, and evidenced more by the fact that it was not the first time I had seen 'Santa Baby' so I went on watching it last night in full knowledge of what I was about to see.
I'm not sure if there are many people who read my blog with random posts and rants, but if you have happened to come across it and are reading this and know of a Jane Austen Period type Christmas movie, please tell me about it! It would make my Christmas!!
and also if you are similarly entertained you will know which ridiculous Christmas movie this classic quote comes from:
"cookies..... WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD EAT MY COOOKIES!!!"

Jingle all the way. Which it should be known we watch all year long. Also, I think since there is the whole Christmas part in Emma, that it would be a totally good choice to watch this time of year.
