I have watched a lot of Christmas movies this year. I’m pretty sure that some of these movies weren’t originally written to be Christmas movies. They were written as romance movies (or terrible romcoms) and they stuffed some random Christmas references in to make it fit into the season. Yeah, The Art Of Christmas has little to do with Christmas.

Liv (Brigitte Kingsley) is about to have her first art exhibit. Unfortunately, a fire in the museum’s kitchen has ruined most of her works. In order to make enough money to pay her bills, she takes a job teaching art at a local elementary school. With the help of history teacher, Jake (Joe Towne), Liv finds the inspiration she needs to create more art for her next show.

So this movie was basically “what if two of the most awkward people in the world were shoved together for a relationship?” Jake frequently acts like he’s some sort of alien that doesn’t know how human relationships…even just friendships…work. And Liv hates herself so much that she keeps trying to be someone else. That’s definitely how to get inspired to make artwork that people want to buy.

Don’t watch The Art Of Christmas. It’s annoying. I’m actually getting very close to throwing out the whole Great American channel.
