I’m not feeling it this year. The whole Christmas thing. My family is scattered, I can’t be with everyone I love, and my TV blackout for most of the year has contributed to not being subjected to a barrage of xmas ads and feel-good shows like Charlie Brown’s Christmas and Rudolph (“I want to be a Den-tist!”). This might be a good thing, but stuff like that usually gives me the end-of-the-year warm fuzzy xmas vibe, and I’m just not getting it this year.<\/p>\n
Ah well. So in the spirit of not feeling like it’s Christmas time, Shannon and I are going to spend Xmas day watching 80s movies. A Festival of Legwarmers and Frankie Say Relax shirts, if you will \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So far on tap, we’ve got:<\/p>\n
Dudes<\/a> – a cheesy fave of mine<\/p>\n Night of the Comet<\/a> – yet another fave, featuring zombies and epic shopping.<\/p>\n Terminator<\/a> – because 80s movies don’t get any better than this.<\/p>\n Breakfast Club<\/a> – Shannon’s request.<\/p>\n And that’s all I’ve thought up. Could use some recommendations though \ud83d\ude42 We’re just watching stuff I already have on hand because I hate going to Blockbuster. So here’s a list of movies I have<\/a>. Tell me in comments, or tweet at me<\/a> what I should add. Thanks for your help \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m not feeling it this year.
