    PLEASE READ: If you see a comment from someone with my user pic saying they want to talk to you on telegram and have a "prize" for you, report them. That is a scammer - I will never ask you for anything in my comments section, I do not have a telegram, and this account is verified. Anything that is NOT verified and seems suspicious (you'll notice that their comments are indeed sus), is not me. Report them immediately. This has been happening everywhere on RUclips, if you see it on other channels, report them as well. Thank you kindly, and enjoy the video.

    Hey all! Just FYI: This video is under review for a copyright claim dispute with Hallmark. Right now it's unblocked so it's viewable, but it's not monetized and there's a chance it could get denied and go back to being blocked, so if it randomly disappears, that's why. Hopefully it gets released though. Happy Holidays!

      Copyright strikes are completely broken. You should cheer yourself up by watching Pottersville on Netflix. General Zod accidentally sets off a Bigfoot craze in his diminishing small town during Xmas season. Co-starring Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, Judy Greer, and Ian McShane. It is a combination of It's A Wonderful Life and Jaws, featuring a shockingly accurate reenactment of the Christian Bale Terminator Salvation meltdown!
      It also has Ron Perlman trying to explain being a furry.

Almost like the guy who pestered her relentlessly for a date is unhealthily clingy and possessive.

      I'm disappointed Brady and Derek didn't end up together by the end. This scene could've been a perfect segue to start their romance. "You think I look like a male model? Wanna get a cup of coffee and see where it goes?" And then Derek tries the Christmas blend and smiles toward the camera. ;-)

      My interpretation is that Susan's great-grandfather imbued his statue with all of his obsessed infatuation. But because his emotions were unrequited, the statue gained a sort of sentience. Now the statue is forever tasked (or cursed?) with getting Great-grandfather and his descendants hooked up with the person who will return their love/infatuation. But now that Susan has been matched with a descendant of "Jessica Rose," perhaps the curse is finally broken and that statue can return to its former, pain-free existence.

    Not a Christmas STATUE horror story per se, but when I was much younger (maybe 7 or 8) my dad rented a reindeer mascot-style costume and had one of our family members wear it pretending to be Rudolph on Christmas Eve. When all that whimsy and wonder was over they put the costume into the family van for safekeeping away from us kids. Fast forward a couple hours and my father asks me to go out to the van and get a present that we had forgotten out there.

    I actually have a cursed Christmas angel story. When I was 5 or so we kept all our Christmas stuff in the basement and one day my mom ran upstairs with our angel tree topper, tears of rage streaming down her face. The angel had been knocked over and half the head cracked off (idr the details but it had sentimental value to her). I swore up and down that I didn't do it but I think I'd recently broken something else in the house and lied about it so my mom didn't believe me. When she finally calmed down and investigated further, she saw claw marks on the angel and realized our cat, Cinnamon, was to blame. She obviously felt really bad and apologized to me but she glued the thing's head back together and kept bringing it out, year after year. Even though I was cleared of all guilt, the memory is still a little traumatizing and every time I see that angel all Frankenstein'd back together I take a little psychic damage 🙈

    Fun fact, Bethlehem, Pa. is a real city in Pa! I went to school there. It is known as "the Christmas City" and features a massive star on the mountain over the city that is lit every night in winter and can be seen for miles around. It also features the longest continuously run bookshop in North America, formerly known as the Moravian Book Store. The story behind how the city got the name is also rather interesting. According to tradition, the Moravians had only built one building by the time of their first Christmas since moving from Germany to the colonies. In the bottom of that one building were all the animals and all the humans on the second floor. It reminded them of the first Christmas so they named their settlement Bethlehem. P.S. Love the Annabelle reedit at the end!

      So being Welsh I know there is also a small town in Wales UK called Bethlehem. It has a special postal system popular at Christmas where letters posted there are stamped as being from Bethlehem. BUT...the name Bethlehem exists because William Morgan translated the Bible into the Welsh language in 1588, and in doing so translated the Aramaic name for Christ's birthplace into Bethlehem. I guess then as more people heard the translation it became the definitive name used by the West for the birthplace of Jesus.

    But as someone who's lived in climes warmer than Chicago, I can confirm that in Manhattan, DC, Portland, etc. it is fully possible for it to be snowing constantly without a bit of it sticking or piling up -- the urban environment itself can be so warm that it prevents the snow from every really "taking". Granted, everything looks shiny & damp as a result (melted snow is water after all & doesn't just evaporate) but I do remember many a disappointing childhood winter in which a snow day LOOKED impending but was stymied by the fact that the city melted our dreams.

    Judging by the sentient angels if you told me this was a Doctor Who episode with the weeping angels I would have believed you, because they remind me so much of the Weeping Angels.

    I kind of want to see you write a Hallmark movie now haha. Apparently Bruce Campbell is going to be in one and it would be great if it got covered on this channel at some point.

      I think Roses would be great at writing Hallmark movies now. You can tell people who haven't actually watched a Hallmark movie from after like 2015 because they still think it's "bland white guy falls in love with white blonde woman who leaves her big city job to live on a Christmas tree farm." One of the actual Hallmark movies from this month was about how some gay men find it difficult to want to start a family because of how society has historically treated them. And some of the movies this year have legit been comedies. The genre of these movies has always been weird - they get called "romcoms" even though they're usually not that funny but "drama" seems too hardcore, but some of the movies this year have legitimately been romcoms - romance and comedy. I think anything Roses could come up with would fit right in with Hallmark's new direction that has infuriated Candace Cameron Bure so badly.
