I don't think the Hallmark Channel runs only Christmas movies all year round.
didn't say, only... nearly.
Well I'd argue that's not quite true either. I checked Hallmark's programming into the near future and it looks like this is a "Christmas-in-July" thing. There are Christmas movies in August, but they're more sparsely spread out throughout the week.
Unfortunately, I'm really speaking from experience. My grandmother watches it all day, so I vaguely know what kind of programming they have.
Also, even if there was a fully Christmas channel, its existence wouldn't really be indicative that the majority of Americans are Christmas-obsessed, just enough to have a cable TV channel. There's also a science fiction channel, but I wouldn't use its existence to argue anything more than that there exist enough people with enough interest to warrant a sci-fi channel.
I guess my point is... I'm inclined to agree that it's strange that many Americans are so interested in Christmas. I'm also inclined to agree that Americans are obsessed with religion and ramming "traditional" values down everyone's throats. But I disagree that your image is necessarily an indicator of that obsessiveness. The plethora of Evangelical Christian channels would probably be a better example.
FUCK, you are doing god's work looking up Hallmark schedule. I appreciate the corrections, and wonder if you work for them?
wonder if you work for them?
No lol, I hardly think they have any use for an engineer 😂
On this post, me either.
I knew it was Hallmark channel before I even seen the screenshot. All they do is their own self produced Christmas movies.
Consider that hot female protagonist, and the struggle with the male protagonist and the limit of time for the christian holiday? So much struggle.
I'm pretty sure my wife's grandmother only watches this Hallmark channel
Not sure anyone else watches this channel.
I work with hospice patients, and Hallmark is one of the more popular channels I see on in homes (the others being Game Show network, Food Network, anything showing old sitcoms, and Fox News.) I've even known some families to use their Christmas in July programming to let Grandma/pa think they made it to one more Christmas so that maybe they'd let go.
Only people that were an extra in a movie that are from the tiny tourist trapl town it was filmed in.
Well no, not here (NL).
But I am not surprised that this is a thing in the USA
