I've been watching the old holiday classics such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Truth be told, I really don't enjoy them all that much. I think it's more something you put on in the background while you're decorating for Christmas. I was sitting with my 18 month old son watching them, feeling like it was something I had to do, tradition and all, not something I wanted to do. Patrick was not all that impressed either. He got upset at one point and I thought it was because he was frightened by the Abominable Snowman, but I looked down to see he was just unhappy the noise keep waking him up, as he had already been bored to sleep. This is not meant to be a major dis on these movies, they have held up quite well over the years, but I think I just need to know their place in my holiday life. I will still watch them every year, and enjoy parts, all the while doing something else while they are on.
