For the theme, 'So...This is Love?"

In this one, the Harbisons think florist code is problematic, Paige gets in a tit-off with her nonexistent child, and everyone recalls warmly the one year they all liked Ashton Kutcher (‘shton’ to his friends, among whom jack counts himself). Oh, and also, don't worry, Adam grabbed his ****.

Our fourth season opens with us mixing it up a little bit - instead of enduring every one of the off-season movies even Hallmark doesn't care about, we're widening the net by choosing a theme for the month and torturing each other with surprise choices. This month's theme is, loosely, "makeovers" and this is Paige's choice. It was indeed torture for some of us.

If you want to prep for our next "makeover" viewing, Beth's choices are both The Brady Bunch:

Season 2 episode 9 – Not So Ugly Duckling

Season 5 Episode 22 The Hair-Brained Scheme

BTW, Demi Moore's memoir is excellent. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inside-out-demi-moore/1131282066?ean=9780062049544

This is part two of two.

Once upon a time, Beth Harbison wrote a book called Shoe Addicts Anonymous and it became a New York Times Bestseller, which was followed by Secrets of a Shoe Addict, and then her publisher asked her to write a Christmas story to follow up and that was the novella A Shoe Addict's Christmas. That's right, the exact same name as this movie! And there are other similarities too, which isn't surprising since the movie was based on Beth's book. Sort of.

And Jean Smart is in it!!!

Or...."Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-Hat" -- PART TWO!"

Man, oh, man. If you know this movie, you know it. If you don't, you are in for QUITE a film. For one thing, absolutely watch it. They truly do not make them like this anymore. They just don't. This quality is unmatched. It's so bad in the best way. It has it all. It has Lizzie McGuire's sister in 2013 dressed like she's in 2004 playing a 26 year old former teen mom who acts like a middle aged woman, it has a wheelchair-bound child whose father died in a car wreck who wants nothing more than to drive fast in cars who miraculously walks by the end because his paralysis was psychosomatic, it's got patient zero, it's got zero chemistry, and most of all, it has a year round hat shop that gets saved by the brilliant business decision of opening MORE hat shops. Also this is a halloween movie and a Christmas movie but thanksgiving is completely omitted.

It is insane.

And we were so lucky to have on the brilliant Jen Lancaster!!! You've probably read her work, but if you haven't, you've read someone inspired by her. She's fabulous and she was REAL fired up. Get your wine ready for this one.

Find Jen at Jennsylvania.com or on Instagram and pick up her new book, House Moms! You can also find her personal Hallmark bingo cards here.

Also she mentioned the podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern, and Paige mentioned the episode of MST3K about the movie just called Santa Claus. It's perfect. Also love Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. MST3K is on Tubi for anyone who wants to give them a watch!
