Where are all these small towns that authors are always making their broken characters return to? They seem like pretty nice places that probably have great Christmas decorations. I have often wondered if such places really exist? I visit them often during the Christmas season while watching the Hallmark Christmas Specials on TV. I have always been confused as to why the main characters want to leave them so bad in the first place. Silly silly people.
