It's Blogmas day 23! I loved 'Your Christmas or Mine?' so much last year! So when I heard that a second movie was coming out, I immediately had to add it to the list for Blogmas.

In fact, they had more chemistry apart than a lot of Christmas Couples have together! Not only is the story unique, but it's also really interesting, and would be interesting without the Christmas backdrop. The humour works really well - the funny moments are actually funny...
