You're sitting at a booth in a coffee shop drinking your peppermint mocha wearing your cozy scarf and winter boots as you watch the snow drift softly down on to the street lamp lit black top lined with trees sparkling and twinkling from the Christmas lights perfectly hung in each.

Then all of the sudden, the coffee shop doorbell jingles and in walks your high school crush (with a flurry of snow behind him nonetheless) that you lost touch with when graduation came. You try to hide under your warm scarf but he notices you and asks to sit in the empty seat next to you. But oh no! You just started dating an accountant from No One Cares Corporations and you think you might really like him because he is so exciting and fun! I mean doesn't high-water khakis and a tan button up shirt sound riveting? I wonder what you will do next...

We all know how the rest of this movie plays out. The two of them get to talking and catching up on how life has been and then they both realize they still love each other. Throw in a few scenes of drama, a break up, a slippery ice skating moment, a dash of Christmas miracle and what do ya know! You've got a heartwarming Christmas movie that fulfills all of your secret holiday wishes.

I will be the first to admit that these cheesy holiday movies are one of my guilty pleasures this time of year. How could you resist that perfectly predictable storyline that does nothing but solidify your own Christmas dreams.

We all want to come home for the holidays and have a fresh blanket of snow lining the town and a 20 foot Christmas Tree lighting that all of the town shows up to.

Yes I know, the acting is mostly subpar compared to movies without the holidays as their backdrop, but be honest with yourself, I promise no one will find out, wouldn't you be even just the least bit excited if your Christmas went exactly like the ones in the Hallmark movies?

Are you really trying to tell me that you wouldn't be over the moon if someone picked you up in front of your house in a horse drawn carriage with hot coco?

You would really scoff at finding out that your dad was actually Santa Clause? No, no you wouldn't. That would be awesome.

And don't even try to tell me you would turn down the opportunity to single handedly save the town from not being able to have their Christmas parade. Because nobody wants to be a town hero right?

But I digress. I understand if you want to keep your secret love for Hallmark Christmas movies hidden underneath your ba humbug.

Just remember, Santa is watching.
