Happy’s 2024 Holiday Movie Guide

Happy November 15th! Made-for-TV holiday movie season has been in full-swing for almost a month now, and I’m not sad about it. So far, most of this year’s crop has been standard: predictable plots, sweet moments, fake snow, all the twinkle lights. But there have been a few stand-outs, and there are SO many more…

The oddest thing happened a few weeks ago: my church fell down. A security camera on a nearby building caught the collapse, and I watched it over and over again – the steeple just… falling. (You can see that clip in the video above.) It was so surreal. It was also a bit of a…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
