After a work-induced hiatus, I recently reacquainted myself with my favorite vampire-related, network television, teen tv show. And like a pair of fuzzy pajamas put away for the summer, the show fit just right. It continues to be one of the most satisfying, enjoyable hours on television.

Anyone who knows their seasonal pop culture knows one thing for certain: that there’s nothing quite so heartwarming as the arrivals gate at an airport. Love Actually teaches us that.
