The holiday season may be coming to a close, but that does not mean the holiday fun has to stop. During these last two months, we discovered the magical world of the sappy holiday romance movies. We found a bunch of them that we've never even heard of on Netflix. So we just started with one and ran down the list until we started noticing a pattern. From that pattern turned a drinking game which we have continued to do even now that Christmas is over. So put on your favorite (or least favorite) holiday romance movie and grab your strongest bottle of eggnog and let's begin.
1. Take two sips if the main girl has some sort of artsy job.
Writer, photographer, baker! This girl is somehow self-sufficient with one of our dream jobs. She can pay the rent, buy food, and be her niece's favorite aunt with the meager salary she gets in this job. Cheers to the main girl for following her dreams!
2. Take 2 sips if the main girl had previous guy trouble
Dumped? Divorced? Maybe she is still with this guy in the beginning of the movie, but he's acting like a total dick. You know there's something wrong with her beau, and she will leave him for the new guy. Speaking of which...
3. Take 3 sips if main guy is introduced the first time as a chance encounter with the new girl.
Stood in the same line as her in the coffee shop, or crashed into her by accident in the middle of a walkway/road. Once the main guy is identified, everyone takes an extra sip except for the person who identified him.
4. Take two sips if main guy is very attractive for girl.
Rugged mountain man, strong, does a bunch of charity work, or maybe he's a prince! Something about this new man is very sexy to the main girl and totally makes up for the horrible guy she had prior to/at the beginning of the movie.
5. Take 3 sips if either the main guy or main girl has a dead parent.
Because they apparently need to be totally miserable before "finding true love."
6. Take four sips if there is an old person who has some sort of sixth sense that the two main characters will get together.
This could be a grandfather, parent, or random observer who tells the main girl/guy to follow their hearts so that they can be together.
7. Take 5 sips if main guy proposes to main girl sometime within the movie.
It's bound to happen. Take an extra 3 sips if you get to see the wedding as well.
Bonus sips!
-Every time the main girl does something stupid for no reason.
-Every conversation that you know is just in the movie to take up time (does not further the plot or characters at all)
-Every time main girl considers leaving new guy for the crappy previous guy.
-Every time the main guy has his shirt off.
