So last week I shipped a thank you gift full of Maine goodies to the historian my class had a Skype visit with, and I got confirmation that the package arrived. But I haven't heard from him. How long should I wait before I send him an email to see if he received it? And, what should I say?

Grade/Rate Holiday Movies A – F

1. A Christmas Story.  I think I'm the only person who doesn't get why this is such a classic... I mean, it's ok, I give it a C.

2. How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The animated is an A and the Jim Carrey is a C.

3. The Santa Clause.  B

4. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.  A-

5. Frosty The Snowman.  B-

6. Home Alone.  Another movie I didn't get in to.  D

7. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.  A-

8. Elf.  A

9. Miracle on 34th Street.  Now, this is tricky because if I could blend parts of the original and the remake it would be a top notch movie.  So together:  B+

10. A Charlie Brown Christmas. A

11. White Christmas.  So much schmaltz.  B

12. The Polar Express. Visually stunning.  A-

13.  It's A Wonderful Life.  B

14.  A Christmas Carol.  So many versions--my favorite is the Muppet Christmas Carol or the George C. Scott.  Both of those get an A.

15.  Love Actually.  I really enjoy how this movie explores love.  A-

Did you do any Black Friday shopping? What was your coup?


I did not. I had to make my car payment, pay my rent and register my car. Plus, tomorrow I have to get my 60k service done on my car, which might run about $350.
