There is some violence, but it is a PG-13.

Just so well done.<br /><br />Margaret, you have such a good eye! That deer has just watched Tom put down some food and is running toward it. :<)<br /><br />Thank you and the same to you, Ernestine. Wish I lived closer and we could go together!<br /><br />Tara, I think that's the thing. And it was the same in A Christmas Story, set all those years ago. <br /><br />Aisling, you cook the most interesting dishes! And do such original things with your family. I love it.<br /><br />Jodi, in the review I read Downey describes them as an 'eccentric old couple!' I thought this was great. Though I thought the darkest, darkest Holmes was Jeremy Brett. I just couldn't watch him, though fans thought him brilliant. I liked Downey's humor, and the twinkle in his eye that often appeared. <br /><br />Staci, my son who is 24, and our friend's son who is 20, both really liked it. I wonder what your son will think.<br /><br />Les, my favorite, favorite RDJr. role is in Home for the Holidays, which I watch every year, and think about the rest of the year. He is utterly brilliant in it.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-355529801899852322009-12-28T06:53:23.982-05:002009-12-28T06:53:23.982-05:00What a wonderful way to spend the day!

Traditions only "stick" if they really suit us... otherwise we're kind of going through the motions. <br /><br />We ate a Tibetan meal, which I haven't written about yet. The main dish was a kind of dumpling called "Momos." I prepared them with what we had on hand, rather than buying a lot of special ingredients. They reminded me of pot stickers. So, we went to Asia for our Christmas dinner inspiration too. <br /><br />Come by and see my stroll with Maude if you want!Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-14984036888640387282009-12-27T16:28:57.847-05:002009-12-27T16:28:57.847-05:00We had Chinese for Christmas a few years ago and I...We had Chinese for Christmas a few years ago and I think it's a great tradition!
