For the second book in this series we find a wedding planner in the midst of a Christmas wedding competition, and a Missionary recently returned from overseas. The characters in this book were believable and I liked their reactions to the situations presented. The plot was a good Hallmark feels to it, which seems to be the thing for Christmas books. I enjoyed this book I think more than the first one.

Why
So the main question of this film is..."why does this movie exist"? Cause of $, thats why. "Who decided it was a good i idea to re-remake Black Christmas"? Blumhouse. I like Blumhouse, but not one asked for a Black Christmas remake. In the year of remakes of 2019, Black Christmas came out. And no one saw it, and no one liked it. This is not even a Black Christmas movie. The only reason its called Black Christmas because of $ and Blumhouse decided "lets remake Black Christmas", cause we can.

The plot: Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays as students travel home to spend time with their families. But as Riley and her sorority sisters prepare to deck the halls with seasonal parties, a mysterious cloaked figure starts to leave a bloody trail throughout the campus. Refusing to become hapless victims, Riley and her friends decide to band together and fight back against the psychotic Christmas killer.

Unlike the previous two version of Black Christmas, the remake was rated PG-13 by the MPAA, a rating Takal sought in hopes of making it accessible to new audiences, especially young women who were interested in horror, and opening up discussions on major issues like sexual assault, although she was ready to fully commit to utilizing the higher R rating if the ratings board would not grant it. However, she would not use the PG-13 rating to water down the film's violence to a large degree, making it only slightly less violent than the original film.

This film should of never been made or existed. Cause their was no reason to remake Black Christmas, and $$$$$ was the answer.

I saw it in the theater and ended up walking out after about 20 minutes due to the fake wokeness of the characters. It was horrible.

I think the only time i walked out of the theater was Fate of the Furious. Than i walk back into the theater. I almost walked out of "Phantom Thread".

I believe
The Christmasaurus was wonderful book mixing the children's magic of christmas with dinosaurs, two things kids love. This, the second book in the series doesn't let the magic go, if anything this is a better story. Tom Fletcher manages to weave a complicated story about magic and time travel and yet still make it suitable for children and the illustrations make it even more gorgeous. This series has the potential to be made into a movie and become some of the best love Christmas characters in the world. My daughter loved this book, so did i. She is 8 and I am 40.

The Cosy Christmas Teashop.
‘Life would take you on it’s jouney through love, hurt, joy, pain, and all the shades of emotion in between. But you had to hold on to the happy, find a way through, and reach for the stars’ (Caroline Roberts).

The Cosy Christmas Teashop is a recommended book to an extent, attributable to the personal, emotional attachments that develop throughout the book owing to Caroline Roberts depiction of individuals’ scenarios.

Progressing from this, Caroline Roberts concluded The Cosy Christmas Teashop, portraying to a considerable extent, the moral of the story, despite it being made evident throughout the book also. This was advantageous as it allowed you to put the book itself into perspective from a prospective real-life scenario that will affect numerous individuals throughout the year, encompassing Christmas also.

Conversely, there were multiple mistakes throughout this book regarding spelling and grammar, and therefore lessens the conclusive rating I have allocated to The Cosy Christmas Teashop.

I'm looking forward to it. I love Lin-Manuel Miranda. He's a brilliant, dynamic genius and can't wait to see him in this movie. Emily Blunt, Emily Mortimer, Angela Lansbury, Julie Waters, and Meryl Streep are a dream team. Dick Van Dyke is always a delight. I like Cokin Firth, as well. Though he was a character in rom-com and dramas at the beginning of his career, Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia Here We Go Again really brought him out of his shell, so while not the best singer in the world, he gives it a good go. Even though I have no children of my own, I might go to see this in the theater.

Beautiful!
I loved the colours in this movie. So vivid and so cheerful. The Nutcracker is, and will always stay a favourite Christmas fairytale of mine, and this version did not disappoint me at all.
