To The Hallmark Channel,

Thank you for making my days happier through television nights of cheesy dialogue and predictable plot lines. Each holiday season, I turn to your channel to absorb myself in the holiday spirit. I especially count on your Count Down to Christmas movies to remind me of the magic of Christmas.

Thank you for plots that center around the rescue of the empirical character who begrudges the Christmas season. Through the character's rescue, my connection with the spirit of the season becomes even stronger.

Thank you for scenes of cozy log cabins surrounded by heavy snow falls and Santa's magic.

Thank you for producing movies that make the world seem a little less cynical and a little more kind.

Thank you for allowing my mind to relax without fear of an unhappy ending.

Thank you for cliche plot lines filled with raw moments that evoke emotions we all love to feel. Moments of grand romantic gestures that are perfectly planned and executed.

Thank you for giving Gretchen Wieners and Candice Cameron Bure a platform to resurge into the acting world.

Thank you for reminding me of the importance of love, family, and holiday spirit.

Sincerely,
The girl that has seen every Countdown to Christmas movie
