Ah, that’s sweet, mistletoe hanging there… do you fancy a quick kiss? It’d be rude not to… just a peck on the cheek?
No, don’t be embarrassed… there’s nothing wrong with being friendly… we should be more loving, don’t you think?
“What happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe,” laughs Isobel.
Christmas is about love, after all, isn’t it?
“Like in the film Love Actually?”
A lovely spreadsheet of a formulaic film!
Yes. Did you know that there are more than a dozen types of love in the film Love Actually? (It is one of my favourite Christmas films!) How many can you name?[*]
(Is there a film that explores all the different types of hate? I can’t think of one – can you? Now, there’s a challenging pitch for a Christmas film!)
These doors say ‘love’ and ‘hate’. Which one to choose? That’s a no-brainer, isn’t it?
[*] 14-ish types of love in Love Actually:
Regular, Wordless, Parental, Unrequited, Friends, First love, Workplace – in/appropriate, Bromance, Forbidden, New, Of what you do, Relentless, Imperfect, Surviving betrayal
