I'm dying to see Children of Men, but it didn't seem very Christmassy. Instead, after hugely fun family brunch of tons of food, laughter and CranMosa's, we saw Night at the Museum at the Grove. It was cuter than I expected, and a perfect piece of Christmas fluff.
The Grove, for those who don't know, is practically a recreation of Main Street, U.S.A., and almost as Christmassy. It was bizarre because, with absolutely no stores open, this mall was insanely busy. But there's the towering tree and pretty lights and snow! And it's L.A.'s busiest movie theater's busiest night of the year.
The other two nights of the weekend were filled with Disneyland Christmassy. And last weekend's combination of Hanukah Party, Christmas Party and Dickensian Christmas concert all made for a very satisfying and quite jolly yuletide season.
God Bless Us, Every One.
