“As divisive as 2017 has been,” says Cassie Belek, “my female friends and family of all races and political beliefs have been talking about and watching Hallmark Christmas movies more than ever. There is a relief in sharing entertainment about women made for women without fear of judgment or shame. And as different as I may be from my married cousin with children who voted differently than me, we can at least enjoy some pinot grigio over the holidays and talk about how A Bramble House Christmas was better than it needed to be.”

I can understand having Christmas Movies and being for women and enjoying it. To me, it's just way too much. Was it necessary to have Christmas Movies be on all the time starting before Halloween?
