Obviously there are foods to avoid. Actually real fig pudding is quite nice and a regular feature of the Christmas season in the U.K.– its sweet and tasty. If you ever wondered what could go wrong with Santa once a year trying to fly a bunch of reindeer to locations all over the world, let me tell you its not just about getting stuck in someone’s chimney, as the picture above shows. Wind turbines are dangerous to anything flying. Rumor has it that Santa is thinking of employing drones which can dodge anything and easily go down the chimney too. But then whose going to consume the milk and cookies on Christmas Eve? Fortunately there are 12 days of Christmas to get it right.
As for my favorite Christmas movies: 1) It’s a Wonderful Life; 2) Home Alone (the first one); 3) The Holdovers (from last year); 4) Miracle on 34th Street; 5) Elf; 6) Love Actually; 7) A Charlie Brown Christmas; 8) the animated 1966 version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas; 9) A Christmas Carol (1984); 10) Talladega Nights (for that dinner scene).
