A Fond Farewell to 2010
This year has had many ups and downs- mostly ups. Let’s focus on those as this year comes to a close and try and make more of them.
I won the world series. I got a new job. I moved to Brooklyn. I adopted a cat with a dog face. I participated in Brooklyn Ball. I invented the theme behind March For Mallory (and inspired many marches). I drank a lot. I met some great new friends and held on to...

5) I guess I put it in the wrong end.
4) You mean the “blacks”?
3) Does it involve cutting?
2) Are you waiting for the men’s room?

Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #1- A Christmas Story
Well I did it and while as of this moment I haven’t actually seen this the whole way through today I’m sure I’ll have seen it all by the end of the night.
Love It!
I mean between the soap, robbers, Wizards of Oz, the dogs and the Turkey, Fragile, Breaking the leg, and shooting your eye out it sums up Christmas perfectly.
Oh Holiday movies you have rocked my world this month.
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #2- The Santa Clause
I remember seeing this movie on Christmas Eve with the fam. And while my roommate may not agree I think it’s awesome. And Fish thinks Bernard is the best so it’s officially awesome.
And there is never anything wrong with trying to keep the belief in Santa Clause alive- ya know?
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #3- Holiday Inn
Another classic with good ol’ Bing. While this movie has all the holidays in it, Christmas does occur the most and it is the movie that originated “White Christmas” and it wouldn’t be Christmas without hearing someone sing it.
You can very rarely go wrong with a classic and this was the first time I watched this one but I did enjoy it.

Just woke up from a horrible dream- not a bad dream where someone gets murdered or anything just a horrible dream that makes life awful- After waking up an hour ago from a dream that was actually kind of nice- if i recall correctly.
And I woke up fifteen minutes before my alarm so there’s no point in going back to sleep.
And I work retail and it’s two days before Christmas.
This is...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #4- Fred Clause
Umm I kind of had to watch this movie for this due to a former roommate of mine and her obsession with Vince Vaughn.
I was introduced to this movie a year ago when she got it from Netflix and we were stuck indoors during a snow storm…
And I just want to know how they got so many Oscars to agree to be in a film with a very weak plot? Was it just the idea of working with Vince?
Regardless...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #5- Love Actually
This move is a great holiday film unless of course you’re Laura Linney or Emma Thompson which I fear is who I will end up being. Which makes me believe that even if I am lucky enough to find the man of my dreams (Emma), he is going to cheat on me with his secretary- or atleast contemplate it which is just as bad. Or I will be about to boink a gorgeous man and something will interrupt it...
WatchI’ll Be Home For Christmas
come hell or high water (is that the saying?)
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #6- The Family Stone
After the movie was over and I ha been trying to sleep on the floor I recall an argument going on about whether or not this was a Christmas movie.
Well does it take place on or around Christmas? Are there any Christmas songs played? Does it end with a Christmas activity occurring?
Well then I believe we have a Christmas movie, Virginia!
I enjoy this movie because it can make me feel so...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #7- Muppets Christmas...
I’m probably going to watch this one again because Daryn laughed/cried through my favorite song…
But this Christmas Carol is my favorite. I love Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo as Charles Dickens and his little sidekick Rizzo. Fozzi as Fozziwig is fantastic. And Michael Caine sings- how can it get any better?
And I mean the whole story is alright and everything- not like it’s a...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #8- Elf
It’s probably not fair to count the next few movies for three reasons A) I was drinking, 2) I was talking and d) I was asleep.
But I’ve seen them all before so it counts (and if you can name that movie reference up there- you rock).
Elf is hilariousness and fun to watch with people. And cute and it involves a sing along? How awesome is that?
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #9- White Christmas
Oh what a classic 50s musical. two army buddies on the vaudeville circuit. Two sisters who sing and dance together (lets be honest- one sings the other just looks pretty with her tiny waist). A trip to vermont hotel where the army buddies old general runs an inn with a stage.
What hijinks could possibly occur?
Plenty! And I’ll give you a hint- it might just snow.
But in all honesty this...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #10- Home Alone 2
This is probs my favorite of the only two home alone movies that I actually call Home Alone! If McCauley Culkin isn’t alone then I don’t consider it Home Alone!
Well I don’t have any embarrassing movie theater stories to go with this one… wait that’s not true. I remember seeing this movie downtown and this kid from preschool was there and he thought he was my...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #11- ABC Family...
Oy Vay- Christina Millan can’t seem to get any work other than ABC Family holiday movies- we all saw the one where she enters the world of a snowglobe- don’t lie to yourself.
But this one is kind of just atrocious. We have a dead starlet stalking a “scrooge” named Sloan who needs to change her ways so that she won’t die alone- and by alone we mean single. Great...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #12- A Christmas...
I’m about to go batshit crazy on Tumblr because instead of posting my queued posts it’s just deleting them… but what can I do.
So I originally meant for this (and about 7 million other posts) to go up yesterday. But alas, this is the long-awaited based on a book sequel to one of the best Christmas songs that was ever turned into a book that was then turned into a movie....
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #13- BMW- Santa's...
This is the last BMW Christmas episode I’ll write about- I swear (well really I don’t think there are any others).
Okay by this point in the series they gangs in college. Corey and Topanga are engaged and Angela and Shawn are in love with each other but broken up. But of course Corey sees the fact that they are all accidentally spending the holiday together as a sign that he must...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- Where was #16?- A...
I guess I skipped #16- or it disappeared because that has been occurring a lot lately.
But these three cartoons are fabulous. First it’s Pluto’s Christmas, where he Chip and Dale sneak into Mickey’s tree and torture Pluto.
Then Donald and his nephews have a snowball fight to end all snowball fights.
Then Donald gets his Christmas tree and Chip and Dale follow him to his...
Holy Hell It's the Holiday's- #14- BMW- A Very...
Okay- so I’ve been watching alot of Boy Meets World- which is random- but I tivoed it and I really loved this show.
This Christmas special is the one in which Topanga is staying with the Matthews and changes their traditions- which upsets Corey (well really it upsets Eric who then makes it upset Corey) and Corey runs away to Shawn and Jack’s place and falls asleep to the Christmas...
Holy Hell It's the Holiday's- #15- 30 Rock-...
Oh 30 Rock- you did this one right!!
I feel like in it’s 5th season 30 Rock has had some hits and misses and this was a definite hit. I watched this episode alone (which I actually do with most episodes) and laughed out loud. I literally (I hate writing this) “LOL”ed.
Liz trying to make things right for Jack’s family. Tracy being afraid to be funny but then making the...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #17- Boy Meets World-...
Another special BMW episode? Don’t mind if I do.
This one is just a tad bit absurd (not as absurd as when Shawn became an alcoholic in the course of like two days… but very close). Cory gets a job working at a coffee shop to earn some money for Christmas gifts. Shawn does the same but doesn’t like his job. However when Shawn informs Corey that he is working for the mob Corey...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #18- Boy Meets World-...
Oh Boy Meets World and your very special Christmas episodes… how I’ve missed the.
In the first season Xmas special Corey learns that Shawn’s dad lost his job and things he’s being a great friend when he gives Shawn his favorite gift- but he expect Shawn to be over the moon about it- but Shawn of course doesn’t want charity. So the two fight.
But of course...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #19- Glee- A Very...
It’s probably sad that I believe this has been one of the stronger episodes of the season. Minus the unnecessary Rachel/Finn drama I was actually rather childishly amused with this episode. What I really would’ve enjoyed Rachel doing during the episode is trying to find the perfect Hanukkah song to solo to.
I actually thought the Sue as the grinch storyline was cute and while the...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #20- South Park- Mr...
Oh South Park- why are you so juvenile and so amusing all at the same time. Really at 23 I should not find the idea of poop funny but I do…
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #21- Psych- Christmas...
Umm Psych and Christmas? Sounds like a great combo and of course it is.
I was surprised to see that I had never actually seen this episode. I think I might have seen parts of it at some point but assumed it was the christmas episode from the year before.
The boys save a Santa from a murder wrap. Mrs. Cosby guests as Gus’s mom and Shawn has a tryst with Gus’s sister- where can...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #22- The Grinch
I think this movie is about an hour too long- Ron Howard had no issue filling it with filler because Jim Carrey thought he was being hilarious but still the message is great and at the end of the day it is still fun.
Taylor Momsen is amazing- I don’t actually recognize her but I guess a lot can change in 10 yrs. The movie has one of my favorite Christmas songs- “Where Are You...
Holy Hell It's The Holidays- #23- Home Alone
I wrote a whole thing about this last night. Just know that I love this movie and when I was younger at the theaters I yelled “Look behind you” for all hear.

WatchTumblr didn’t post my posts last night… awww shucks… but this was my song from yesterday- not really a Xmas song but it still falls on many xmas albums.
Hard Candy Christmas- Dolly Parton and some whores
