I didn't make it on opening night, but I did see the movie before the end of the long weekend. Just ignore the reviews that say this movie is predictable and unfunny -- I had fun, and if you like Reese Witherspoon, Vince Vaughn and/or chick flicks I think you'll enjoy yourself at Four Christmases, too. The only other movie out this holiday season that I really want to see is Marley & Me. I have a feeling Marley & Me will make my all-time favorite movie list (I hope I'm not disappointed). Move over Enchanted, Office Space, Legally Blonde and Nacho Libre.

New poll: What is your favorite Christmas movie?
Hey! I just added a new poll -- favorite Christmas movies. I actually love all of the ones on my list! If I had to pick one, though, it would probably be A Christmas Story. I'm laughing now, just thinking about poor Flick with his tongue stuck to a flag pole.

Tag, you're it
So, in three years of off-and-on blogging I have never been tagged. This week, two friends (Erin and Jaime) decided to tag me. The theme is "seven random things about yourself." I'm going to alter it, just slightly.
Seven random Christmas-related things about myself ...
1. I have never seen It's A Wonderful Life in its entirety. Whenever I hear that little voice squawk the words "every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings," I want to throw a brick at the TV.
2. I love the song Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. Is there even one girl out there who can't relate to the lyrics??
3. If you ever come to our house for Christmas dinner, don't expect to see turkey or ham on the table. The turkey is simply an act of rebellion against tradition (we really don't see what is so special about it). As for the ham, well, we don't eat pig -- ever.
4. Our great room is fairly small, and we have big furniture (our old house had more space, and we bought the furniture when we lived there). What does this have to with Christmas? Well, it means I don't have a lot of flexibility as far as where I put the tree.
5. Carl and I have been known to finish Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving. The fact that we have no kids and small families makes this pretty simple.
6. Even though Payless (the drugstore) has been out of business for years and years, I still can't get that jingle out of my head. "Merry Christmas. From Payless. Merry Chriiiiistmaaas."
7. I cannot wait to see Four Christmases starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn (watch the trailer -- it looks hilarious). I'll be there on opening night if at all possible.
