The Christmas Day, Movies We Didn't See Round-Up:
* Munich - Not showing in Hometown, Ohio.
* Harry Potter - Only one showing a day, at an inconvienet time. The girls didn't want to see it. Too long.
* Family Stone - Sherry had already seen it.
* King Kong - I had already seen it. The girls didn't want to see it. Too long.
* Memoirs of a Geisha - The guys didn't want to see it. Too long.
* Christmas Vacation and My Big Fat Greek Wedding [rentals] - Dad seemed disappointed that no one was interested in the DVDs he'd rented especially for the occasion.
* Rumor Has It - By a process of elimination we decided to see this movie. First, though, we decided to let Ty open one present. Then, because Mom wanted to open the digital camera she knew she was getting and charge the battery while we went to the movie, we each opened one present... then we just decided to skip the movie entirely and open all the presents.
Movies We Did See:
* A Christmas Story - Bits and pieces of it, anyway, as it played on a 24 hour loop on TBS.
* Toy Story - My gift to Ty. He watched the movie and we watched him. Any attempts to talk to him ("Who's that? Is that Buzz?") were ignored. He was almost catatonically quiet until near the end when Woody 'breaks the rules' to talk to the bad boy across the street. After Woody's face came alive to say, "So play nice" Ty let out a cheer that suggested a deep appreciation of story mechanics, wise beyond his years.
