The Spirit that Inspires The Soul

Happy December, My Readers! Wow! Can You believe that The Year is almost over?! And, What a Year it has been, but More on that after Christmas. It is that Time of Year again though! It is My Favorite Time of Year, The Month of December filled with Christmas Cheer, Christmas Music, Christmas Lights, and above all, Christmas Magic (And, Believe Me, It can happen!). I know I Write The Following Statement Every Year but, I Love December because of One Holiday, Christmas. I do however have a bit of a Different Swing to My “Happy December” Newsletter.
Every Year for My “Happy December” Newsletter and Christmas Newsletters, Respectively. I always Take You through an Adventure! Whether It is a Swiss Mountain Christmas, Talking about Christmas Carols, and Yes, Even talking about Christmas Magic (aka Santa Claus). So, You may be asking Where are We going for This Year’s
“Happy December” Newsletter?!
So, The Following Newsletter has Become sort of a Tradition for Us here at The Christianville Spirit.
Of Course, a Favourite Tradition for The Folks here at
The Christianville Spirit, is that We Love Hallmark Christmas Movies and Hallmark Movies in General.
Now, I know What You are Thinking Right Now, This is going to Play out like “Happy December” Newsletters before, Where We talk about Questions of Hallmark Movies!
Still Wondering about “The Decor”, “How They Sleep with Lights and Christmas Everywhere”, and Of Course,
“The Dead Parent” Card that They seem to Always Play! Seriously Hallmark! Oh and Saying that They are Some Place in The United States when They are Really in Canada!
Spoiler Alert and Low Blow! You might say. It is True. But, I digress. Nope, This Year’s “Happy December” We are talking about Hallmark Themes! So, Without a Further Adue!
Let’s Take a Trip, Shall We?!
(In Mario Voice) Here We Go!
To Hallmark-Land, We go! (Wooshing with Jingle Bells Ringing)! Happy December! Ho Ho Ho!
Welcome to Hallmark-Land! A Place that Near and Dear to My Heart! I really enjoy “Hallmark-Land” with all of Their Christmas Movies. Moments of Christmas Magic, where People can be Two Alternate Storylines (What If I went Right, instead of Left); Santa Claus is The Matchmaker of Your Storyline; It always Snows when You kiss The Love of Your Life; and Of Course, My Personal Favourite, Your House is Decorated to The Brim with Christmas!
In Lame men Terms, It is like Christmas came into Your House and Got Sick everywhere, and Now You have Christmas Everywhere. On The Windows; You have more than One Christmas Tree!; Bows with Garland on The Light over The Dinner Table; and The Fireplace is Perfectly Lit.
So, The First and Probably My Favourite Theme of
Hallmark Christmas Romanticism is something that I have only had In My Head as well as Something that I have only Told My Friend, Deb.
I did not know why I have Recently Found
that Hallmark Movies in
The "Mystical Christmas" Theme
are Fascinating
Okay, so “Mystical Christmas” Theme is actually a Name that I came up with Myself. What does It Mean?
Well, The Term “Mystical” is a Word and Theme that can be a Little Oh-So-Sensitive to Some People and Others It can mean Beautiful Things (At Least in My Opinion, Anyway)
According to My Friend, Deb, “Mystical” means
To me “Mystical” bridges the gap between fantasy and reality. It’s somewhere in the middle.
“Mystical” can mean a Bunch of Things,
It can Refer to Magical Storytelling of Mystical Creatures like Three-Headed Dragons! I don’t Know, When I think of Mystical Creatures, I think of Something out of The Movie, Shrek with Lady Dragons (that are Purple); Little People with Small Squeaky Voice; and A Girl with Really Long Hair!
That is Mystical to Me. However, What about Mystical Things when It goes to The Season of Christmas? Well, That’s Where Good Ol’ Hallmark jumps In!
Now, To be Fair, There are Three Main Mysticals that I enjoy with Hallmark Christmas Romanticism! And, This is Where We pick up and Head into My Favourite Theme,
"Mystical Christmas"
To Summerize means like Where A Woman goes back in Time because of a Wish; A Person is Set in a Different Life than They had Before; Of Course, Those Movies where Santa shows up out of Nowhere!
So, Well Let’s Explore!
++ The Time Wish Mystical ++
Ah Yes! The “Time Wish Mystical”!
This One is Probably My Favourite Version of Christmas Mystical and One that would be Fun to actually Experience.
Basically, The Main Character of The Hallmark Movie is Very Stressed with Life, but at The Time, Has All The Things that She (Because Most of The Time, It’s a Woman in Hallmarks) Wants. Notice How I said “Things” that She wants.
Well, Not so Fast, “Things” are Great but, Not All Important!
Annnyway, She has All The “Things” but, She does not have What She really Wants because She is Disconnected from The People (like Family and/or Romantic Persons) that Matter. So, She is Send Back in Time, to A Time where She was Happiest and
Of Course, She Realizes that Her Crush was There in Front of Her The Whole Time. In The Hallmark Movie,
“A 90s Christmas” for Example, She finds out that The Guy Living Next Door has Always Loved Her and She’s Always Loved Him. And, Of Course, The Only-Time that She broke The Time Rule, was Giving Her Best Friend advice to Invest in Apple Stock. Honestly, I could do that! Go Back in Time and Tell Myself to Do and/or Not Do Something and, Maybe Invest in Something I knew would Become Successful in The Future like Google, Apple, or Even Amazon Stock!
++ The Alternate Life Mystical ++
Then We Move into The “Alternate Life Mystical”!
It is sort of A Time and Life-Centered Theory that One Decision in One Swing, could have Change The Storyline of Your Life. Honestly, It is a lot of Pressure to think about How One Decision can Swing Your Life One Way or The Other.
In This Case, The Person (It can be either A Man or a Woman This Time!) Thinks and Wishes that They had Swung Their Life in an Alternate Direction, For Example, What If They Married Their High School Sweetheart instead of Their College Sweetheart. Would They be More or Less Successful and Most Importantly, Would They be Happier than Before.
In This Type of “Mystical”,
It is usually a Glimpse of What-If-You-Went-Right-Instead-Of-Left; Kind of a Scary Question to Ask.
Sometimes, I wonder about That, in My Own Life as well as My Family’s Lives.
What if I Met The Woman of My Dreams, Bridgett when I First Cross-Roaded with Her in August of 2012?
What If My Brother married Our Childhood Friend, Meredith.
What If My Mom Married Mr. Jeff, Although I probably know (or At Least Think I Know) The Answer to It
What if Grandma Honey did not Retire so Early,
The List goes on and on. I would Admit that It would be Interesting to Glimpse Those What-Ifs.
++ The “Santa Claus” Mystical ++
Ah Yes, The “Santa Claus Mystical”, This is a Fascinating yet, Strange Mystical! It is Fascinating to Me because It shows All Kind of “Mystical Powers” that Santa Claus has.
For Example, He might show up because of a Wish that Someone (Guy or Girl) made, like
The Aforementioned, “Time Wish Mystical” and
“Alternate Life Mystical” that I just Mentioned.
Most Importantly, It could also be a Sneaky Way in which to Boost The Christmas Spirit of The Main Character because for Whatever Reason, They lost Their Christmas Spirit somewhere in Their Storyline of Life.
This is The Strange Version of The “Santa Claus Mystical”
Of Course, Santa can use His Magic to Bring Two People that are Clearly Meant for Each Other Together like in One of
My Favourite Hallmark Movies, “Matchmaker Santa”
Another Example is that Santa can Show You The Name of Your “Dream Romantic Person” like in The Hallmark Movie
“Santa Tell Me”
There’s Alot More to “Santa Claus Mystical” Theme but,
I think that It would probably
Take A Whole Nother’ Newsletter to Explain that!
But, It leads Me to A Question and I would Love to Hear Answers to.
If You were Told that
You were The Son (Daughter) of Santa Claus,
What would You Do?!
All in all, Mystical Christmas is Very Interesting, Fascinating, and Quite Funny Theme of Hallmark Christmas Romanticism. I am Believing that You Enjoyed Your Little to Hallmark-Land! Take What Lesson I Gave that You Need!
And, Yes, I Love You, My Readers!
(Some People to Hear that, Every Now and Then)
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Embrace The Hallmark Christmas Romanticism! Just watch out for a Matchmaker Santa!
