Miscellaneous #5

      One of my favorite things about Christmas is the movies. I could name a ton of movies that are out there that I could watch over and over. I honestly have never watched a bad Christmas movie..have you? Some of my favorite ones are Elf, The Grinch, Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation, Home Alone- Lost in New York, and Christmas Shoes. I honestly have never been that big of a fan of Will Ferrel, but I think he is hilarious in Elf. A lot of people think he is always funny, but there are a lot of times when I think he's stupid and a little weird. In Elf, he acts as an Elf from the North Pole, because he was taken there as a baby. He thinks that he is a real elf, not knowing that he is really just a human. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of my other favorites. I could seriously quote that whole movie every time I watch it. Some people get mad at me because I don't shut up. Oh well!! Chevy Chase's Christmas vacation may be one of the oldest, funniest movies that I know. I used to watch it all the time when I was young, and my whole family quotes it all the time, and it cracks me up. Home Alone is also one of my favorites, along with Christmas Shoes. Home Alone is hilarious, but Christmas Shoes is more serious and sad. It actually is one of the saddest movies I have seen. It is about a little boy who wants to buy shoes for his mom who is probably going to die. He doesn't have enough money to buy them, so a gentleman at the store helps him out with the cost, and he is able to get the shoes for his mom. There is a song that goes with the movie, and they play it on the radio at Christmas time. If you ever get the chance to listen to it, I recommend doing so. It is very sad, but it reminds us what means the most at this time of year.
