kids, that IS the Holiday Spirit to your dad

Doubles for me, please!

I’ve never made it to the end of that movie either. I prefer movies like “A Christmas Story”, “Bad Santa”, “Elf”, and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”. Gimme some laughs!

I’ve seen the movie only in parts, so I’ve got the general jist of the tale. It IS a good tale, but the kids aren’t wrong, it is a little sluggish for a first time viewer in this modern age that is used to more fast-paced movies.

But a movie doesn’t have to be fast-paced to be really good.

Adam has a wonderful life and should realize it. The kids should really watch the movie all the way through at least once, though. Doc Toon – I’ve always said I don’t like egg nog either but not sure I want to get into it – heard it’s fattening. I’m not a drinker either – occasional glass of wine.

I loathe a movie that tries to show the joy of surrendering your goals and ambitions for the sake of your neighbors.

Black and white films in general appear to be an endangered viewing experience. From what I’ve read a majority of “young” people aren’t comfortable with them and don’t watch them at all. I feel a “Casablanca” remake looming.

Eggnog does have a high calorie count; about 350 per cup and about half are from fat..I love a little eggnog around Christmas time; however, I like mine fortified with brandy and rum. If it’s cold enough, I like to warm up with a Tom & Jerry topped with a dash of nutmeg!.Yum…

kids today got no patience. but then neither do most of their parents.

I finally made myself watch in its entirety last year and it’s a wonderful movie but I didn’t torture my kids with it.

I’ll stick with a good blended Scotch and maybe some Tequila..I don’t know what Canadian Screech is.

OK…. I’ll give the screech a try. as long there are no cod fish involved.

“I leave the alcohol out of it”.Well, nobody’s perfect…: >)
