It's the most wonderful time of the year! And with it comes lots of holiday hangovers. So grab a little hair of the dog and snuggle up with Lifetime, Hallmark, or Netflix for a few hours. We've done all the hard work. Below you'll find a collection of rules suitable for any low budget Christmas movie. They can also be stacked on top of the rules we've made for the real movies above, if you're up for it.

- All of these movies hinge on the American dream: keeping a business afloat. Drink whenever they talk about "the bizz"
