Hillsdale’s Own Hallmark Channel
Written by Meghan Barnes
The saccharine movies that have besieged my Prime Video account remind me of the time my mother-in-law loaned me a Hallmark Christmas book for some light reading over the holidays. I got five pages in before giving up, thinking,
I could make a living writing better stories than these! I have some Christmas memories up my sleeve worthy of Hallmark debut. For example, the time my family Christmas’d in a snow-covered, Connecticut hamlet just 30 minutes outside of Manhattan; or the time we drove to a fancy ski hovel in rural Vermont, and I found a hidden door inside the master closet; maybe our second tour of NYC when we wore our fanciest duds to Radio City Music Hall and dined at an expensive French restaurant; or the time I visited Fenway Park and was given a tour by a gorgeous, merry young gentleman who might have been good old Kris Kringle himself!
