ONCE AGAIN THIS year, RTÉ One’s annual screening of Love Actually had the whole of Ireland hooked.

Even if you were hate watching, there was just something beautiful about Love Actually on Christmas Eve Eve:

1. It made us imagine Enda in that situation

I have a horrible vision of Enda going door to door in North Wall asking "Hello. Doesh Natalie live here?" #loveactually

2. And how two of the main actors are a little too familiar to us

Why couldn't Liam Neeson and Alan Rickman reprise their roles from Michael Collins? #loveactually

4. We have to talk about Neeson

Whoops!

5. But he does has a particular set of skills

Of course Liam Neeson knows a shortcut to the airport. #LoveActually #TakenActually

6. Every Christmas

I think if there is one thing we can all unite on it is our hatred of Mia.#loveactually

11. Welcome to pre-2010 movies, everyone

People who watch #loveactually in 2016 & "realise" how misogynistic/problematic etc it is: have y'all seen ANY pre 2010 movie???
