“Christmas Movies with Shaun”It’s Christmas time.  Why not invite Shaun to a conversation about something we both like.  Christmas movies.  We randomly found a list of the top 20 of all time and went from there.  Some on the list were obvious, It’s a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, A Muppet Christmas Carol, and other more recent ones didn’t make the cut like, The Family Stone and The Holiday.   There were the earlier ones which I look on fondly, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas.  Not so much for Shaun.  His nostalgia is for when he was growing up.  Makes sense.  It’s like a Venn diagram.  His, mine, and the ones we both like in the middle like Daddy’s Home 2.   Then there is the newest contender, Spirited.  It’s a musical with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds.  My bar for this was so low it was on the ground.  Not sure why, no offense to either actor.  Maybe it was it being yet another Christmas Carol adaptation. Turns out it was better than I expected and I really did enjoy it.  Shaun hasn’t seen it yet but he’s added it to the list of the ones he wants to watch.  And I said I’d check out the sequel to A Christmas Story.  Who knows, I may add another to my annual viewing list.
