    It's Christmas time, so we had to do a Hallmark Christmas movie. This year it was An Unexpected Christmas, which actually has a pretty good score for a Hallmark movie; it's the higher-end of the brand. A guy and his ex are both ironically at the same train station and run into his family and the fam thinks they're still together, so the exes just go with it to avoid feeling awkward. It really doesn't have to be a movie, the guy is just insecure, he didn't have to lie about anything, no one would care. We have a fun time.
