Important life lessons I've learned from
watching Hallmark Christmas movies:
1. Dreams jobs appear just when you need them the most
2. There are a lot of handsome royals walking among us
3. The more pastries you eat - the slimmer you are
4. It is always the guy in the sweater, not the one in the suit
5. And, a small town over a city every time
6. If you have a fireplace, it is always lit when you come home,
as are at least forty candles
7. And, there is no need to turn off the lights. Ever
8. Some of us are amazing bakers, the rest are either
event planners or own a bookshop
9. If you don't fall in love during the holidays, your best
friend/cousin/colleague is letting you down
10. Be nice to that lady booth seller, she is probably
a fairy godmother.

Lovely Christmas trees. So true about Hallmark movies. Happy holidays Amalia.
I was laughing as I read these! I called my DIL and read them to her. Her sister is a Hallmark movie junkie, so she is going to relay them to her,
Your trees are fantastic!
Oh I love this... it is so true. I cannot handle Hallmark movies, they are too much. Ha!
Please do a tutorial on how to make the trees, I love them.

Well, that is just the most accurate review of a Hallmark Christmas I've ever heard...and a very witty one at that! I prefer to watch the oldies, black and white, full of fantasy and only a tad more realistic!! Happy Holidays and love those trees!! xo Kim
As someone who watches a lot of Christmas movies, I love this! Happy Christmas.
Thanks so much for stopping by!! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!!

Perfect review of Christmas films, love the recycled trees, happy holidays:)
This made me laugh! Thank you for your observations.
My dad would be annoyed about the lights! He goes around the house switching them off if we leave them on when no one is in the room :)
Hello,
I have watched many Hallmark movies, your list of life lessons is so true. I love the cute owl and trees in your photo. Wishing you and your a very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year!
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
These home truths all made me smile. Thanks for sharing and I love your trees - what a clever idea, they are great. xxx
Boas Festas🎄🥂
That's exactly right. I wish you wonderful season holidays. Enjoy this time.
LOL love this. So true. Merry Christmas.
We were just joking at dinner the other night that we had no idea there were still so many princes left in the world!
...the more pastries you eat - the slimmer you are, really? That's great news.
I loved this Amalia! So true, but that doesn't stop me from watching every new one as it comes out. I just wish that dream job would fall in my lap soon. ;)
As usual you amaze me with your artistic telent!
Hope you're having the Merriest Holiday Season, Dearie!

Absolutely lovely life lessons dear Amalia 🥰👍
I so enjoyed reading them ♥️
Thanks for beautifying my day with your light 🙏♥️
What a great recap of those Hallmark movies, some of which are made in my town.
I confess that I can only handle one of them per year as they are so sappy.
Your folded trees make a lovely forest.
I hope your Hanukah celebration was full of light and hope. Hugs, Lorrie
Cute Christmas trees! Greetings from far far away!
So cute. I love it.
Lovely colourful trees.
Happy Holidays.
All the best Jan
Love the Christmas trees! Oh those Hallmark movies all end happily. Wishing you a season of joy, Amalia!
A hearty laugh from me as well! True to the word!
Your trees are gorgeous, love the little owl with them.
I had to laugh it is so true about those movies :) my hubby had another one, if you can't stand them at first they are the one you will fall for.
Merry Christmas!
The trees are lovely. Great use of magazine pages.
LOL, I love those life lessons : )))
if the more pastries you eat, the slimmer you are holds true, I am due to lose a lot of weight this holiday! Happy 2026 to you :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year...

Every November, I get a free preview of the Hallmark Christmas movies so watch as many as I can over the 30-day free period. So I can attest that your list is accurate!
Amália! happy holidays, a blessed new year, thank you for your friendship, hugs
Oh Amalia, this made me smile.
Your recycled magazine trees are just gorgeous - such a clever and festive idea.
Happy 2026!
Oh yes, that's exactly how real life is – I'm always reminded of that too 😇😂😎🤩😉😝
However: I wish you and all your loved ones a happy, joyful, and healthy New Year ... with or without royals...!

Happy New Year!
Que preciosos arbolitos de navidad, vengo a desearte una feliz navidad y año nuevo, espero que la hayas pasado fenomenal.
Un beso enorme y un abrazo.
Tee hee, you are so funny! Happy new year!
Ha ha! So True! You captured Christmas movies perfectly. I especially love #6. As one who heats their home solely with wood stoves, I know how much work goes into maintaining them.
That’s a great list Amalia, fun! I also love this image. Wishing you and your family A Very Happy New Year!
LOL! So very true. Hope your holidays were wonderful!
Well, you're talking with one Hallmark movie lover. I enjoy watching them, especially at Christmastime. Yes, lots of candles lit, and a small mountain or country town over a city. I have to say that I don't watch the Royal shows much.....too fancy for me.
Happy New Year Amalia!
Feliz ano novo, pra você e toda sua família, muita saúde e paz, abraços . Elena
