If depressed by something in your life, in dull weather back in
September, a couple of those _could_ cheer you up; undemanding (very!),
and on the whole a happy ending (usually still a romance) - really,
mostly the same story with slight variations. Ar probably didn't watch
his/her two one after the other.
(It reverted to something other than Great Christmas earlier this month
- I didn't notice when, probably around twelfth night.)

ending. It's fine but everyone looks all pretty and styled like crazy,
even silly plots like farmers that don't seem to ever be covered in dirt.
Second problem is these films are repeated and repeated.
Channel 5 show "Christmas" films every day in December the past few
years, a fraction of which have been on Great Christmas, but at least
you could see it in HD on 5.
I admit some of the films you could get a cheer up from, so long as the
plot isn't too contrived.
