According to Megan’s parents, a Christmas moon is when two full moons happen in the month of December. Charles is handling time travel remarkably well. This coulda been a Halloween Hallmark. Show me a painted portrait and I will always accuse Dorian Gray of being involved. “Next year? You’re always living for the future, Charles!” I’m always thrilled when these people mention the future as a nod to what’s up ahead. In my mind, this takes place in the same town as the When Calls the Heart. This is one of the few times where we’re introduced to the male lead before the Hallmark Heroine. Rating: 3 out of 5 ruined heirloom clocks STRAY THOUGHTS I needed more scenes where he was shocked by future things. It sort of went downhill in terms of interest for me. This film started off strong because it’s about time travel. Megan is gonna have a lot of admin headaches in her future. Now that he’s staying in the future, what are the logistics? Will he get a social security card? Is he considered stateless or something like that? He needs proof of being a person to basically do anything like open a bank account or sign up for Netflix. With this decision, Charles does not disrupt the space-time continuum. In spite of his wishes to not be in the awful year of 2020, he continues to hang out with Megan doing Christmas things. Megan appears to like him and wants him to stay which is weirdly selfish. He does research by reading A Kid in King Arthur’s Court. The duo tries to sniff it out, but the museum caretaker says that it’s likely long gone. Upon learning that a Christmas moon is nigh, Charles sets himself to finding the clock. He also learns about the internet so his innocence is shattered. We learn that Megan got the runaround from her last relationship, so she’s single! Thank God for broken hearts. They bond over food stand Christmas food. He’s not impressed with the jeans for they are for factory workers! Apart from that, he truly is not thrown by anything from the future. Hopefully, he gets paid in cash as I doubt he’ll have an active bank account.Īfter work, Megan takes Charles shopping. He takes on his first tour and it goes well enough. In THIS economy? This is truly a fairytale. The next morning, Charles finds employment at the museum/his house. She explains that Charles mysteriously vanished one day, presumably to find a flying machine.Ĭharles very quickly learns how to use a remote. The place has been converted into a reenactment museum of sorts. She leaves.īecause Charles tinkered with the clock, it freaks out at midnight and causes him to collapse.Ĭut to the FUTURE! We finally meet our Hallmark Heroine Megan who is dressed in old-timey clothing and showing a group of tourists around Charles’s house. The maid doesn’t buy it and retorts that true love is worth waiting for. Charles waves away her concern saying that since he’s rich and old, he should be married by now. Rosie gives Charles a little lecture on how shouldn’t marry someone he doesn’t love, even if they are super hot. Wind once at Christmas moon, true love will find you soon. However, the inscription might hold a clue to get the thing running: Rosie enters and remarks on his new clock. Later that night, Charles writes in his diary and then hides it under the floorboards. Eliza ain’t about that hot cocoa and takes her leave.
The argument is interrupted by Rosie the maid.
When he’s in the future, he’s in for a big surprise flying Spirit Airlines.
“The future is an exciting place! It’s full of possibilities and new ideas and new inventions.” Charles goes on to talk about flying machines in North Carolina.
