feliciakwLast night Geo and I watched The Christmas Cottage. I gotta say, that movie is becoming a holiday favorite. Just a nice, quiet, heartwarming movie. Not overwrought or sappy, but a warm, fuzzy feeling that leaves me saying, "Ah, that's a nice little movie."
The characters are likable and real, and their problems are real.
And there is always a scene that makes me cry. Sometimes more than one scene. But it's not always the same scene. (Well, one scene always does, but the others vary.)
Jared is just delightful in the movie, and I love hearing him narrate as well. Geo made the comment that it's very strange to connect the young man in the movie with the young man who beheads vampires on SPN. Jared's Tom Kinkade made me realize that I really rather miss Sammy, while at the same time impressing upon me how well Jared has been playing Soulless Sam as a shallow, singleminded, empathy-less character.
Also, Jared has beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile. It was nice to see them again in this movie.
In short, if you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend a rental of it before the season is over. Pop some popcorn, put a fire in the fireplace, turn on your tree lights, take the phone off the hook, and just enjoy. And keep a tissue or two handy, just in case.

I made this fan art and put it up on DA and EVERY person who commented said "Oh yeah, I LOVE that movie!" and scolded me for not seeing it.
So... starting a new tradition as well. Watching it probably Friday (and perhaps tomorrow if snowed in)
*starts hoarding tissues in preparation*
