What if…holiday haikus are back?
Another year, another month of “poetry!”
Hello!
The title says it all—I am indeed back for another round of that silly little project where I write haiku reviews for every awful holiday romcom I watch. If you weren’t around last year or would like to revisit, here’s part one, part two, part three, and part four.
I also “review” all bad holiday movies I finish in a non-haiku—but perhaps equally useless—format on letterboxd if that interests you. I have zero shame and am proud to be a little clown.
If you have any recos, please feel free to share them in the comments or by replying directly to this email.
Anyway, let’s get into batch one!

I watched Exmas this week ... and really enjoyed it.
