In which we make a Christmas movie watching list that is unattainable.

I load up our queue with Christmas films; knowing in my head we will watch only a fraction but heart convinced there's the tiniest of possibilities that every day in December will expand to allow 27 hours of holiday binge watching, which, of course includes Die Hards 1 and 2 twice each.

We watched the remake of Miracle on 34th Street (one of late great John Hughes' later and lesser films, but still moderately enjoyable for us (adults) and massively for others (the elves); I was reminded again that Mara Wilson is unquestionably and undoubtedly one of the all-time most marvelous child actors. (Also, she has a wonderful blog and philosophies on life now, should you decide to Googleize her).

Might have to make a case for including the exquisite Matilda (1996 Danny Devito classic Roald Dahl adaptation) on the holiday queue...
