Planet Sad's Ridiculously Christmassy Bill Nighy Of The Day


There are many things we at Sad Towers would do before we sat through Love, Actually, at least one of which involves finally letting this man into the house.

Ten Blatant Giveaways That You Are The Heroine Of A Hallmark Christmas Movie

You work in a homeless shelter where there's a jolly, bearded resident who looks and acts suspiciously like Santa
You have been delayed by bad weather from getting to your own wedding and been thrown into the arms of a handsome stranger
You are playing the Scrooge role in a shameless rip-off of loving homage to A Christmas Carol
You are totally career focused, but you have been forced to go back to your hometown where you have reconnected with the slower pace of life and your handsome - and conveniently single - ex-boyfriend
You are the previously unheard-of daughter of Santa Claus
You are dating the previously unheard-of son of Santa Claus
You are a struggling single mother who is about to help a handsome billionaire rediscover the joy of ChristmasYou get a chance to see what your life would have been like if you'd had a high-powered job instead of a handsome husband and loving family - and hate it
Your guardian angel is about to show you the true meaning of Christmas
You are trapped inside a snow globe/musical box/novelty Christmas tree ornament
You are Hilary Duff
