Its Christmas time as everyone knows, its time for cold and snow. Its also time for ridiculously over priced sweaters that make your eyes bleed just from looking at them. Not to mention the dozens of classic Christmas movies that plague television screens from the end of Thanksgiving to the start of the new year. Every one of the cheesy Christmas movies generally follow the same guidelines. The character usually takes things that should be held dear for granted. Then usually a supernatural figure takes these things away from the character. Then the have to learn a life lesson in order to restore what has been striped from them. These films inevitable end up becoming pretty similar. Like the movies The Family Man and It's a Wonderful Life. The only difference that I really noticed was the supernatural figure that took the family's away. In The Family Man it a black guy that was trying to rob a convent store. In the movie It's a Wonderful Life its an angel that jumps from the bridge right as the main guy is about to kill himself. Instead of killing himself he jumps in to save the angel. I know that they are so similar because we watched both movies in reading the movies with Mr. Bowser. The life lessons that are presented in both films are that you should appreciate who you have because you might not like it without them. It is a respectable message that I agree with. The only problem with this message though is it is so used now a days. Just like in the movies if you have something constantly you start to not appreciate it. So just like in the movie we all need to learn a lesson and appreciate what we have before its too late.
