Late Night Creative Thoughts

 Yes there are a several sequels to this one, I even enjoy the second outing for what it is, but I wanted to talk about the first film today and only the first. This holiday classic filled to the brim with cartoony violence but also packed with heart. This film that has one of the most beautiful scores in a holiday movie and through it's simple and quiet moments, make this film a holiday classic giving something for the whole family. Laughs in one moment, and heartfelt warmth in another. I watch this one alongside Elf, and a few others every year and instead of exploring this holiday classic from top to bottom, I wanted to say what it meant to me and why.  This movie at face value of a kid stopping burglars in comedic ways while also doing everything he wasn't allowed to do can provide a ton of laughs, and for me it still does.

It's that time of year and as the month of December begins, I always start with Christmas specials and episodes of shows revolving around the holiday season, building up to the movies so I don't burn out. So I decided to share some episodes of cartons revolving around the most wonderful time of the year.

Phineas And Ferb Christmas Vacation    (Phineas And Ferb) Not as long as Summer vacation but still just as wonderful and relaxing, Christmas vacation gives us a much-needed break for friends, family, and fun. Phineas and Ferb embody making the most of every day during this season just as much as when it's hot outside. Packed to the brim with jokes and some very catchy songs, this is a fun and wholesome episode of the show. It starts strong and does drag in the middle, and there are a couple songs too many.
