Well, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were both satisfactory and calm. Yesterday my dad, sister and I saw Madagascar 2 and it was surprisingly good. My dad loved the fish-shaped oil flask from Spain that I bought him and my sister loved the pewter-colored necklace in the shape of a leaf that I bought her. Today I was at my mom's and all was well. She loved the star-shaped green and blue glass lantern that I got for her. I randomly watched Mar adentro on TV. It was, well, not in the slighest definition a Christmas movie, but it was reassuring to see a movie that reminded me of Spanish class in high school. I saw Marley & Me with my mom and her boyfriend, which I liked. After the movie, it was apparent to me that I'd seen two movies with euthanasia involved in a significant way in the characters' lives, and I found that a peculiar circumstance for Christmas.
I give Christmas 2008 a thumbs-up, despite the recurring euthanasia references.
