One of my favorite holiday traditions is to force Vernon to watch a cheesey holiday TV movie (or two or three) with me. (Actually, I'm NOT forcing him. He does it because, 1) he loves me, and 2) it gives him the opportunity to watch a cheesey holiday TV movie!)
And, oh, these movies are delightfully horrible.
This year, we watched Christmas Wedding Date. It's what Marla Sokoloff (The Practice and Full House) and Luke from The O.C. are up to now. About 40 minutes into the movie, it started in on a time loop thing. You know, like in Groundhog's Day, where Bill Murray has to repeat the same day over and over.
And, I'm like, "Oh, my gosh. Not another freaking Christmas movie where they repeat the same day over and over."
Because, yes, that's right. This is not the only Christmas movie that we have been privy to where someone relives the same day over and over again.
Last year, we watched this Jay Mohr / Daphne Zuniga vehicle called Christmas Do Over, where, you guessed it, Jay Mohr was repeating the same day over and over until he learned the true meaning of Christmas.
Another year, we watched Erik von Detton in Christmas Every Day (the 1996 version, not to be confused with the 1987 version of the same name) do the same thing.
And another year it was The 12 Dates of Christmas, where Amy Smart and Mark-Paul Gosselar relived the same first date over and over again (well, 12 times to be exact).
I feel like I'm in a time loop reliving every time I watch a Christmas movie where they relive the same day over and over.

Ooooh - I can't stand time loop movies. Although, the time loop episode in Community was pretty awesome but that's just because every loop completely altered the direction of the day. Plus it's just a half-hour show as opposed to a two hour movie... far less painful.
Thanks for the head's-up, I'll be steering away from Christmas Wedding Date.
Ah, yes, "Community". They can pull of anything.
