Last week, Misty and I began a new tradition. Starting with last Thursday night, we are going to sit down and watch a Christmas or Thanksgiving movie right up until the Thursday before Christmas. We started this trend by watching "Deck The Halls", which we chose because it was one of the few Christmas movies in the world that we had not seen before.
We were entertained by "Deck The Halls" but we were not blown away by it. Danny Devito is always funny and Matthew Broderick reminds me of growing up in the 80's, so those two facts alone made it worth the time we traded from our lives to view the movie. It was a great depiction of all that is bad about the Holiday Season and it dipped slightly into some of what is good about it. Family. Friends. Food.
No mention of Jesus of course... Does it strike anyone else as absurd that we would have a birthday party but never mention the person whose birth is being celebrated?
Tonight I think we are going to watch "The Homecoming". This is the 1970's classic that launched the series, "The Waltons".
