Writer's Block: B.Y.O.B. Holidays
[Error: unknown template qotd]
I have two, actually. The first is completely obvious to anyone who even vaguely knows me: The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The second? It's not even a holiday movie. But when I was ten, my Mom was in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy. The night that Dad and I decorated the tree, I got to stay up WAY past my bedtime. We had the TV on for company, and the late-night movie was Arsenic and Old Lace. I adored it. I wanted to grow up to be one of the aunts. And so, forever more, that is a Holiday Movie for me.
