Hallmark Christmas Shows

So along with AMC"s "The Walking Dead" and the best sci-fi series ever, "Firefly," I have another obsession: Hallmark Christmas movies. I love the heck out of these sappy specials and wait all year for Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas season. If you ever wondered which of these films are worth checking out, may I refer you to my handy database of specials. Click on an entry for a summary & review.
