How about going back to the airlines & tell them we want as a minimum:
-a large comfy seat with leg room THAT RECLINES
-a hot meal that we don't have to pay extra for
-NOT being charged extra for bringing luggage
-a first run movie not "entertainment yourself dammit!"
then maybe we'll dress up

"One Magic Christmas" in which Santa Claus decides that a mother on the verge of divorce, poverty & homelessness isn't saying Merry Christmas enough so he threatens killing her husband and kids will forever hold the title of worst Christmas movie
Since the calendar has turned once again to December it is time to speak some truth.
Christmas Vacation and It’s A Wonderful Life are the *best* Christmas movies. (I can’t pick one over the other).
Home Alone is the *worst* Christmas movie.
Discuss.
