Katie and I watched a few Christmas movies that we had recorded off of ABC Family tonight as she frosted scores of cookies.

You know what I like about Christmas movies?  No matter what happens, everyone ends up happy.  Even the villains in Christmas movies have a good Christmas.  Everyone comes together at the end and that’s something that you know from the very beginning of the film.

It’s as if we went through life knowing that at the very end, no matter what horrible scraps we got into or who we had made enemies, all of the people who had known us would gather around our deathbed and sing our favorite song together with us while it snowed.

Which I think would be pretty awesome.  That’s why Christmas movies, in spite of (or perhaps because of?) their corny, sappy, unrealistic nature, get a thumbs up from me.
