And like I said, someone legitimately cared here. Maybe they could have snipped a few of them and made the Christmystery less solvable by DVR description alone but who knows, then it might have overshadowed the theme of Christmas. In fact, it would be some low-hanging fruit to say that the Christmas Note had too many notes, like I did last week, but these felt less like notes and more just like threads.

It was about two ladies finding platonic love. Plus about 20 more things. Besides the Christmystery dynamic, it WAS NOT ABOUT A GUY AND A GIRL FINDING ROMANTIC LOVE. And for three, well, there really isn’t a three but those first couple are pretty important. Like this clearly wasn’t just phoned in as so many are. For two, it felt like someone really cared about it. Still though, I am glad this movie didn’t slip through the cracks because I kind of liked it. She just read the description and that was that. The only problem with this particular Christmystery is that my wife solved it out loud before we even started watching. But I guess that’s something to work on in the new year. Or figured out if anything else was ever coined, besides a phrase. Of course I never coined a phrase for that microgenre. The Christmas Note very easily could have been such a casualty but since it involved a mystery, of sorts, and since I take credit for coining the phrase, “Christmystery”, I felt like it was incumbent on myself to watch at least another one in my lifetime, much the way I did several years ago when I watched all movies about hamburgers. Occasionally, one or four will just fall by the wayside and it’s too late to turn the boat around and rescue them from the ether.

Mentally, spiritually, and even swimmingly, I can do it no problem but my eyes just can’t be present for every single film aired each weekend over 5 networks. I have to admit, I am not able to physically watch every single new Christmas movie coming out this year.
