Well Happy Thursday and good golly it has been a hot minute since I posted an outfit picture. Today is the American Thanksgiving so wishing everyone a happy day full of gratitude. In the meantime Thanksgiving for the USA is normally a signal for Christmas celebrations to start and what says Christmas more than Hallmark? I bit the bullet this Fall and ordered a Hallmark Christmas Movie watching shirt and I am not unhappy about it.
My Hallmark Story
Actually I ordered three Hallmark shirts and there is a story. In our bubble we have Kent’s cousin and her husband and our “Ottawa” kids. Bradley and Devin are childhood friends of our son and now live here in Ottawa. Anyway, it is a running joke that Devin and I love our Hallmark Movies and then we discovered Tracy’s husband Robin is also a huge fan. So I ordered the three of us shirts.
Cannot wait for the day we can get together again and all watch movies in our shirts. They are not the same. I ordered three different and then honestly wanted to keep them all myself.
I ordered Devin one with Buffalo Check Sleeves and Robin got the contrasting sleeves. FYI I could not find the Hallmark print but I did link the exact shirts with a Christmas saying. ( Not an affiliate link just the regular link folks. Sand Baby doesn’t have affiliate association). I could not find mine either but I did find a similar gnome one I might have to order.
Hallmark Christmas Movie Fan
Are you a fan of Hallmark movies? I truly am, maybe because I also devoured Harlequin Romances growing up. I do love a good love story and throw in Christmas and I am a goner. I have the W Channel on full out “PVR” making sure I do not miss any. And lucky me Kent will actually sit and watch with me during the week, as long as it is only one. My movie marathons I am alone with my cat. But maybe next sure my other two pals will join me for a marathon or two.
The new releases have been great, my favourite so far is probably A Cranberry Christmas. The reviews were not great but it’s about a blogger so I loved it. Still a lot more to watch though. Journey Back to Christmas with Candace is an older one but one of my fav’s too. I missed her Shoe Addict’s Christmas and am hoping they will run that one again for me. What ones stand out to you?
Fun Fact, a lot of Christmas Movies are filmed around Ottawa and one of these days I am going to sit down and create the list of all the Local Movies and create a fun playlist.
Todays Hallmark Christmas Movie Shirt
So Now that I have finally created a look of the day on the blog, gosh it has been a while. What exactly am I wearing. This has become my Christmas decorating look. I feel so happy when I put on the Hallmark Christmas Movie Shirt. It’s fun, it’s colourful and it looks great on, plus POCKETS. Wearing it over the best leggings I have ever found. The Northern Reflections Every Day Seamed Leggings are the best ( and FYI on sale).
Why do I say best ever, well they do not slip off you waist and they do not bag or sag and they feel great on. Trust me, they will be on repeat. For my outdoor decorating I also added my Skechers, another repeat item in my closet.
The wreath is one of the few I have not made. YIKES. Found it at Michaels and fell in love.
