This board is dangerous. First you all made me buy a Trader Joe’s waxed amaryllis, and now you made me watch a Netflix Christmas movie. This is not me, help me, I’m assimilating! At least Chanukah is over…
So - a few thoughts.
(1) Yes, someone took that dress that was missing a top, pulled out a few yards of tartan from under the skirt and turned it into a different bodice, but still couldn’t find enough material for a shawl or jacket.
(2) Not only did they decorate that castle overnight, but Myles and Thomas kept about 20 rooms shining clean by themselves. With a can of polish and one cleaning cloth, apparently. Maybe Hamish helped?
(3) Myles started one sentence with “FYI.” I sincerely doubt that was something he normally said.
(4) Myles’ ex allegedly left him to trade up a title. Um, he was a duke! I’ve read enough romances to know that’s pretty close to the top. Maybe she married a prince or an English duke or a higher ranked Scottish duke? As a divorcee.
(5) They went to cut down one six foot tree, but there were several at the party, the tallest one being maybe 12 feet. Who cut those down, and did they plant two trees for everyone they cut?
(6) There was enough money to provide not only the lights and decorations, but cases of champagne and tables full of fancy food. But they couldn’t patch the roof leaks? That much water coming through meant some serious damage. I was waiting for the entire roof to come crashing down during the dance.
(7) How come Myles never said, “As you wish”? They could throw in that weird Donatello Easter egg that no one understood, but this would have been a slam dunk. Edit: And Sophie could have jumped out of the window onto the horse at the end.
I always love Drew Barrymore!
