Christmas Day at my parents' house when I visit pretty much means one thing:
movies.
Earlier I mentioned how my parents and I watched some of the major films of the year that we'd missed. This morning under the tree came a stack of DVDs of my favorite films and so far today we've done nothing but watch them. Yes, the DVD player has been humming with
Bruce Almighty,
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (special edition),
Stripes, and
The Frighteners. Other gifts I received today include
StarFox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet, some books by
Steve Martin,
Dave Barry, and the new
Dilbert book, and a crop of gift cards from family in far away places.
All in all it's been a nice holiday with great food and family and films. I hope that everyone's festivities were just as pleasant.
