The Heiress of Christmas

The Heiress of Christmas was one of the first Christmas movies I watched ever last year, and this festive season, I rewatched it. This movie is one of the three that got me into watching Christmas films. It was fun, funny, and sweet. I really enjoy this genre, where an irritating, spoiled character gradually transforms into a kind, warm-hearted person over the course of the story. I particularly liked the chemistry between Loryn and Aidan. Maybe Aidan was a bit too nice and patient with Loryn-I couldn't be that forgiving in real life! :) The supporting characters, like Helen, Sophie, and Aunt Phyliss, were also fantastic.

There are many types of movies, and Christmas movies are in a category of their own. You can't compare them with other genres, just as you wouldn't compare marshmallows, maple syrup, apples, and steak. When I watch a Christmas movie (my favorites come from Reel One, Hallmark, or MarVista), I press a button in my head, unplug from the real world, and simply enjoy the sugar-coated stories, (fake) snow-covered sceneries, familiar and fresh faces, and the inevitable happy ending. :) If I were to make a top 15 list (and yes, I think it's about time I did), The Heiress of Christmas would definitely be on it.
