Christmas is a time of giving: and beating brothers with pillows #8


What a merry Christmas I had! God thoughtfully provided a white Christmas for us. Not only that, it was just the kind of holiday we needed: a casual day. After reading St. John chapter 2 (from the King James Version of the Bible), we opened our gifts.

After that we had a relaxing lunch, we were able to relax and enjoy one another's company. Although we had planned on having my grandmother meet us, icy road conditions brought that idea to a halt. After a fantabulistic dinner late that day, we popped out a movie (don't worry, it won't be like the night before).

I hadn't seen While You Were Sleeping before, and I must say it was a charming film. Being a romantic comedy, it was light-hearted, whimsically configured, and overall enjoyable. I definitely recommend this movie either as a family movie or a movie just to see. While You Were Sleeping did a good job of combining humor, love, whit, charm, and even a degree of unpredictability.

Afterward, my brother and I decided to beat each other up with special pillows we had received earlier that day. They were super squishy and were perfect for smacking people with. After thwamping each other with the gifts for a bit, we got smart and teamed up against our father. Let's just say he didn't cooperate for long.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and a Happy New Year.

  1. What a perfect Christmas - sounds much like the one I had. Seems like Romantic Comedies might be a new film category for you--WYWS is a classic.

    P.S. Are you sure you didn't mean the second chapter of St. Luke?
