We start pulling out seasonal DVDs with Nightmare Before Christmas at Halloween, then Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for Thanksgiving.

Then we've got
- Elf
- A Christmas Story
- National Lampoon's
- Original Grinch
- Rudolph & Frosty

This year, we let the kids watch Home Alone.

And we're talking about adding It's a Wonderful Life and Gremlins next year to the mix.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Gonna get on early start on Xmas watching this year. Feels a little weird, but I'm okay with it.

I'm going to have to decide on my Christmas Movie advent calendar this year. I think I've gone over 24 films now.

Boom! DVD was on Amazon for 4 bucks, and I get a dollar credit for choosing "No Rush Shipping." 8-)

Best deal ever.

I know Jews are bitter, mean, and prone to avarice, so I imagine there's a lot of material to mine for great comedy.
