It’s hard to believe, but that dreaded holiday season is lurking just around the corner. In less than two weeks Thanksgiving is going to happen and then it’s time to prepare for December and the Christmas madness that comes with it. Well, let’s just focus on Thanksgiving for now. I like that holiday a lot better because there’s not much stress (especially since my sister Terry is preparing the meal!) and it’s a holiday where you just eat and drink and hang out. I have one Thanksgiving tradition I faithfully follow every year: After the dinner is over and I come home, I make sure that my refrigerator is well-stocked with liquid refreshments and then I watch the best Thanksgiving movie ever made: Planes Trains & Automobiles. If you’ve never seen it, do yourself and watch it this year and if you have, I’m sure you’re like me and you watch it every year around this time. Below are six links that have articles about the movie and of course below that are the upcoming MBIP Coming Attractions!
