I'm sitting down to wrap presents and realize I cannot get into the spirit of it without having National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on - it just makes the season bright for me! :bigsmile:

What movie is a must watch for you for the holiday?

    Love me some Ruby Sue!! In addition to Christmas Vacation I LOVE Home for the Holidays (Robert Downey Jr & Holly Hunter) and Just Friends (Ryan Reynolds/Anna Faris). Both a bit twisted & dark feel good movies. Merry Christmas!

    ****ens Christmas Carol ... George C. Scott version is very good.

    in the 5th Stave the Spirit of Christmas Future has landed Ebenezer in the graveyard and old E.S. sees his own headstone. He has a pretty good reaction to it .... "Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me, by an altered life. Oh, tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone."

    So .... could this apply to being overweight as well as to being a scrooge???? That is the real question. Can we sponge away the writing on our own headstone?

    Great movie. Great moral.
