Just add her falling in love with (and then subsequently blowing up?) a man in a flannel shirt and I think you could talk hallmark into it.

Wow how dare you? Big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and falls in love with her childhood sweetheart and dumps her evil fiance who worked on Christmas, big city career woman who swore off men falls in love and surprise! he's actually the prince of a small but wealthy English-speaking country in Europe, and big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and saves one of the local businesses from foreclosure and falls in love with the owner who is also hot Santa are totally different stories.

I don't like mushrooms so I make what's basically cream of onion soup as the sauce and it's amazing. Also, stuffing. My mom doesn't really like either one and it's just us, so I get to eat all of it myself.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who kind of liked it.

I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with that, it's just not going to be compatible with everyone. I would never date anyone who didn't prioritize travel at least a little, but that's definitely not universal.

"Fun" fact, this is actually why my mom has no interest in camping as an adult. Her family was homeless a lot when she was a kid and her mom disguised it as a fun extended camping trip. The kids bought it for the most part, because the family really did camp for fun, and they were used to fishing for dinner and things, but she said as she got older, she realized things like the month long trip in November were because they lost their housing.

It could also just be women thinking, "I'd like to visit _____ when I'm able, I want my partner to go with me." Working in a passport office, I've met a shocking number of men who have never left the US (or sometimes even the state) by choice. Then their wife or girlfriend wants to go to Mexico or something, and they come in talking about how they're only doing it for her and they'd never travel if it was up to them.

Anyway, I'd consider traveling one of my hobbies even though I can't afford to do it often - plenty of time is spent planning and looking at things to do, so it goes beyond just the few days of the trip.

The only thing I disagree with is that he finds being president stressful. He's both incredibly stupid and lazy, so I don't think he really even gives a shit about what his staff is doing as long as they keep jerking off his ego and don't interrupt his golf and McDonald's time. He's likely not even aware of most of it, except whatever gets fed to him to post on social media.

I think the wood would be fine if the kitchen cabinets weren't so out of place. The cabinets are atrocious, especially with the kitchen floor. Also, painting the radiators gold might be considered a hate crime, but at least that's a relatively easy fix.

It's a very strange house. Most of it is beautiful but not very stylistically consistent, and then boom, sarcophagus toilet.

Local candidates usually have websites, do interviews with local papers, and are suuuper excited to talk to potential voters, so people could look at any of that?

Wasn't that an accident for most of them? Like someone said he was a WWII vet but then left out the part where he was German or something?
