A Gift Wrapped Christmas

By, Marissa Mendoza

Are you looking for that one Christmas movie where you can sit by the fire with a nice cup of hot chocolate? I think I have the perfect movie for you, although there are plenty of Christmas movies similar to that one, one that really stood out to me was "A Gift Wrapped Christmas".

This romantic Lifetime movie is about a personal shopper named Gwen (girl on the right),
played by the young Meredith Hagner, who realizes that it is her personal mission to help her client, Charlie Baker (man in back), become reconnected to his 8 year old son after his wife's decease. After a rocky start Gwen, a very up beat and cheerful person, strives to give the workaholic Charlie, played by 29 year old Travis Milne, his Christmas Spirit back by giving his office and outfits a whole new style. As Gwen works closer with Charlie and his son you can easily say that sometimes the best Christmas gifts can't be wrapped.

So yes this is one of those Lifetimes sappy love stories that nobody likes to watch. But out of all love stories on Lifetime this is one of my favorites. Sitting down with your partner or best friend on a cold Saturday night would be perfect to watch this movie. I give it a 4.8/5.

About Us

By,Marissa Mendoza and Shayla Fuentes

Hello, its me.

No but really it's Marissa and Shayla. To tell you a little bit about ourselves we are both 16 year olds that attend high school. We have decided to make this blog so we can give other people a taste of what California is like. We are planning on posting about our lifestyles and more, to give you a feel of what we are like. . .

Hi. It's Shayla. I have lived in SoCal my whole life and I do not know any other type of lifestyle. I have one brother that is 3 years older then me. We always get asked if we are twins. We are not. I used to row and play soccer for many years, and now I am currently a police explorer. I enjoy hanging with friends and family, the outdoors, and Netflix. 

What's up it's Marissa. I'm a junior in high school that's been on the softball team all three years. I have been playing since I was probably 7 I also use to play soccer for a few years but that went nowhere. But some of my hobbies include watching Netflix, sleeping, and going to the beach. I have 3 sisters, a brother, 2 dogs, and what seems like 500 fish. People consider me as funny and athletic.
