Family Man is a great movie.

In the traditional Russian Christmas, special prayers are said and people fast, sometimes for 39 days, until January 6th Christmas Eve, when the first evening star in appears in the sky. Then begins a twelve course supper in honor of each of the twelve apostles - fish, beet soup or Borsch, cabbage stuffed with millet, cooked dried fruit and much more.

It is the only real "sappy" movie I own... although, the ending of Lord of the Rings could also be considered in that category as well

The end of Lord of the Rings is borderline homosexual. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Love that movie. My son's fave. I found a cool Special Edition of it at Future Shop. It comes in a tin and it has some cool little knick knacks in it. I also found tree ornaments..one is the kid coming down the stairs in the bunny suit and the other is the kid with his tongue on the pole..pretty cool ornaments.

Don't listen to the haters BW. I think it sounds great.

BTW what the hell kind of store did you buy the ornaments in? "...the kid with his tongue on the pole..." Paging Dr. Fotze

Ah borsch...I love that stuff. Scary the next day though when you pee red and forget you ate it.

We don't go hard like that but we do a couple of those things on the sixth...like putting straw under the tablecloth and setting an extra seat for our deceased ancestors.
