The Christmas Experiment 2012: Hours 23 & 24

Time for the same Wrapper as every year.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: Honestly, I have said so much about this movie in the past few years that I think I have officially run out things to say. Mind you, I know half the time with this one, I mainly just talk about how pathetic my life is, Christmas being magical, etc. I will admit, this year has been interesting. I had to plan out the schedule. The meant planning out the crap I was putting myself through as opposed to the spontaneity of ending up watching something about insects with a direct line to God. I meant putting myself through that... thing.

I do this every year because this is my way of experiencing Christmas. One of the side-effects of just going home for Thanksgiving is that that has become my big holiday. Christmas would just be a day with an extended holiday if not for doing the Marathon. I feel bad for doing it today instead of tomorrow like usual but I want to try something new. Having Christmas traditions is great but you got to learn to improvise, occasionally take life by the horns, kidnap your boss. I think we've all been in Clark's shoes where you're depending on something the rug gets pulled out from underneath you. The point is, things work out, you just got to remind yourself about that.

Non-Viewing Thoughts: Umm, how much of the viewing thoughts were on topic?

Late Christmas Ideas: C'mon people, I just want a freaking moose glass set. Is that really asking too much?


Final Tally:
Mountain Dews consumed: 2
Amps consumed:3
Pumpkin Pie Left: 1/3rd left.
Sanity Rating: (1 being Christmas with the Bradys, 10 being Christmas with the Mansons): 4
