'Tis the Season...

Do you know what's been playing in our house for the past few weeks? Christmas movies. That's right, Christmas movies. "Christmas Vacation", "Elf", "The Santa Clause", "Christmas with the Krank's", "A Christmas Story"....all of them. John loves Christmas movies almost as much as he loves golf, and that's not an exaggeration.

One of the best parts of the holiday season (if you can call July a holiday season because that's when John starts watching holiday movies), is watching John watch "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". He knows every word of the movie. Every word. He could put the movie on mute, and quote it from top to bottom. And even funnier, is that he laughs every time. Years and years of watching the movie, knowing exactly what's coming next and he still cracks up when Cousin Eddie is drinking egg nog wearing a white sweater with a black dickie underneath.

Last night he was watching "Christmas with the Krank's" for the 10th time this season. It's his new favorite, I think. The great thing about Christmas movies is that they are, for the most part, hopeful and cheery. It's hard to have a bad day when you end it with Christmas movies...
