last thursday caran, joe, and ben came over to continue a family tradition for the holidays. we watched the one film that defines the christmas season for our family, a christmas story.

if you haven't seen this movie, you must rush out and take a look at as soon as possible. christmas just isn't christmas without it.

once that was over, it was still early so mom suggested watching another holiday classic, die hard. not a christmas movie, you say? don't forget when argyle is driving john maclaine up to the nakatomi tower he has run dmc's classic christmas in hollis playing in the limo. haven't seen that movie in years, but it still holds up, great movie.
