I am a Hallmark Christmas movie enthusiast. I used to laugh at the idea of all the sappiness, but then I got sucked into the first one I dared to watch. I sat down just for a couple of sarcastic laughs, but I ended up crying and smiling with joy.
Holiday spirit does exist!
But now let’s go to a different facet of that holly jolly feeling.
I absolutely love the movie, “Bad Moms Christmas.” (Of course, I thoroughly enjoy the original “Bad Moms,” the one that came before the holiday version.) Bad Moms Christmas is spot-on! The movie absolutely nails the points home of how moms “don’t get joy, they give joy.” Always. No matter what.
And with the efforts of 3 friends trying to put the “ass back in Christmas,” I get sucked in every time this movie is on TV.
I hosted a “Bad Moms Christmas Pajama Party” at my house recently. Yup, we all showed up in comfy clothes or holiday pj’s.
I handed out Santa hats.
We drank Christmas sangria.
We played a movie themed bingo game while the film played in the background.
I had also planned decorate gingerbread cookies and make holiday themed essential oil rollers. But we never got to them!
And we ate these peppermint cookie brownies–with an ode to the stripping Santas.
