It’s that time again

When Hallmark movies premiere

To make the season festive

With their formulaic cheer

Most start in a big city

With a perky, feisty gal

Who must soon return

To some small-town locale

Soon after arriving

She learns the bad news

Her family’s business

They’re all about to lose

But this new dilemma

She will not face alone

When she meets the hunky man

Who (wink, wink) she once had known

Together they solve problems

Flirt, argue and flirt

Finally, to realize

They fell in love over dessert

With just one kiss

Hallmark keeps it PG

‘End scene’ in the town square

Surrounded by Christmas trees
