Traditionally our family watches Die Hard and It's a Wonderful Life for Christmas. This year, since we aren't able to gather with the kids for our daylong bagel buffet and present unwrapping, Jeff & I have expanded the movie list. In part to give us more seasonal things to do and in part because of some interesting discussions among my FB friends about their favorite Xmas movie.
Last night, we started with Long Kiss Goodnight. Clearly in the Die Hard camp, it's also one of our favorite watch things blow up movies.
We'll also be adding one of my top five movies, The Lion in Winter. Definitely a family movie and set at Christmas but not a feelgood film. Lots of family infighting and emoting, but at the end of the film nothing has changed. Great actors and excellent writing. We like the original with Pete & Kate. Altho I'm just now realizing I haven't seen the one with Patrick Stewart instead of O'Toole.
Also new on our list this year, Love Actually. This is a more traditional sort of holiday movie which is also a favorite in our rom com category.
That will pretty much round out our week ending with a zoom call with the family on Christmas Day. I hope your holidays are healthy and happy.
