You know how Thanksgiving always gets the shaft because as soon as Trick-or-Treating is over the stores shove Christmas down our throats? I am trying really hard not to skip Thanksgiving this year and to think of it as it's own holiday - not just a kick-off to Christmas.
I'll admit that I've been listening to Christmas music here and there...in the car or while I pack boxes. But that's as far as it's gone. I haven't decorated for Christmas yet, and we have not watched a single Christmas movie.
But I have watched a couple of Thanksgiving movies. Wow, right?!? Did you even know there were Thanksgiving movies? FYI - Pocahontas is not one of them. That's just a "white man sucks" movie. Or so my kids tell me.
Home For the Holidays is a quirky, funny flick starring Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr. I love a quirky movie. They're the best kind. Read the synopsis here.
Pieces of April is a low-budget Indy film with that chick that Tom Cruise has held hostage for several years....Katie Holmes. Sorry - couldn't think of her name for a minute there. It's kinda heavy, but still entertaining. Synopsis here.

I still have to write my "to do" list. I know I'm lazy, so I don't want to put too much on the list cuz I'll never get it all done and then I'll feel even worse for being lazy.
I had no idea there was such a thing as a Thanksgiving movie. Now I know.
Adding to the list - Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Hilarious, and then it ups and makes you cry. Good stuff.
