A short YouTube clip by Katie McManus (uploaded Nov 27, 2024) in which she humorously recounts a holiday anecdote about her father: he repeatedly watches Hallmark Christmas movies (often leaving them playing around the house) and is also obsessed with Emily in Paris, which she finds amusing and suggests could skew Netflix recommendations. The clip ends with a prompt asking viewers what quirks they love about their families on the holidays.

So my dad is an avid Hallmark Christmas movie watcher. And it's so funny spending the holidays with them because it's basically just me walking into a room where he's there and the TV's on and there's a Hallmark Christmas movie on. And I'm always like, what's this man's like, I don't know, it was just on. I don't know. It's just on, but it's also on in every room that he's like going throughout the house in. So it's obvious that he turned it to that movie so he wouldn't miss a moment. And it just makes me giggle, giggle so much that he loves these stories, like just these repetitive stories that are just the same every single time. Hard, you know, corporate working woman has to go off to a rural small town somewhere, meets a lumberjack. Lumberjack's like, you don't seem very happy. And then there's like a crisis with a Christmas tree, I don't know. And then they pull together and get the whole town involved. Then they found love. This man is also obsessed with Emily in Paris, which I think is hysterical because I haven't even gotten into Emily in Paris. And I kind of think that, like, he must be skewing some of the Netflix data because, I mean, Netflix, Netflix. I think, honestly, Netflix probably thinks that my dad is like an 18, 19 year old girl. So anyway, what kinds of things do you enjoy about your family on the holidays?
