Game of Wool: Britain's Best Knitter
Tom Daley hosts as amateur knitters knock needles to impress judges Di Gilpin and Shelia Greenwell. Who can stitch without a glitch to become the UK's first TV knitting champion? Our knitters take on their first challenges: the classic Fair Isle and a full-size, fully stitched sofa.
 
It’s a Wonderful Knife - a Christmas horror slasher comedy parody of It’s a Wonderful Life.

It’s really not very good at all. Very sloppy writing. It’s as if the creators thought the concept was enough to carry it through.
 
It was all Hallmark last night.

First up - two episodes of their original series, Mistletoe Murders. It’s back for its second season. Christmas and murdering, what’s not to love, huh?

Next - another one from their Hall of Fame collection, so not about romance or anything like that, much more a “proper” holiday movie, centering on family and togetherness, and sort of a comedy-drama, with Anne Heche in the lead role.

Quite funny, in that she went from one preposterous disaster to another. Let’s see if I can recap:

1. Man falls down on her sidewalk and breaks his leg. She (and her kids and a puppy) take him to the ER.
2. While at the ER, puppy gets loose, boy chases and falls down hole at construction site, breaking his arm.
3. Sister finds him, but looses her coat, suffers from exposure.
4. She’d illegally parked her car, it gets towed.
5. Security man takes them all home in his car, it breaks down.
6. While waiting for help, they’re robbed at gunpoint.
7. Help arrives, goes to tow broken-down car, it breaks free, rolls onto a frozen pond…and sinks.
8. Hunkered down at the police station for the night, puppy pulls Christmas tree down, starts fire. Everyone has to go back to the ER for treatment.

By then it’s Christmas Day, so they all decide to spend Christmas together, like family. Yay!

1983, Lee Remick and Angela Lansbury. That’s quality!
 
Now we’re back on the Hallmark movies - their latest one, just released last night, Christmas Above the Clouds…a modern spin on A Christmas Carol.
 
1991, Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus, with Richard Thomas, Ed Asner, and Charles Bronson.
 
We finished season 4 of Only Murders in the Building last night.

Today we laughed watching the Giants and Jaguars epically collapse and lose, and cried seeing the Bills somehow lose to the Dolphins.
 
Oh noooo...
I've had football off today.
I can't believe the Bills lost. Idiots. How could that even happen against Miami?
