We went to church and enjoyed it a lot.\u00a0 We got a text message from Robin that the Jette’s were going to be available for lunch between their cruise ship exit and airplane back to Montana.\u00a0 we met at El Torito near John Wayne. Please join the fun!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

When we got home, we headed for the Christmas movies.\u00a0 We watched “The Case For Christmas<\/a>“. Summary: Michael Sherman (Dean Cain) is a lawyer and single father struggling to obtain more clients. Being a single working dad, Michael doesn\u2019t have time to think about a relationship or work on the classic car he inherited from his parents, but his friend Lauren (Rachel Blanchard) is a mechanic who helps rebuild the family heirloom.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the majority of the population is losing faith in Santa Claus and the Christmas spirit. To make matters worse, Santa is served with a class action lawsuit for irreparable emotional distress by sporting-goods mogul Braxton Bennett who never received the holiday gifts he wanted as a child. Santa believes he has a strong case because Braxton was always on the naughty list and asked for gifts that were unattainable. Santa hires Michael Sherman to represent him.\u00a0 Once the trial of Kris Kringle vs. Braxton Bennett begins, will Michael be able to save his own career\u2026 and Christmas?<\/span><\/p>\n

Excellent Christmas movie<\/p><\/div>\n

We then went to Thanksgiving as a topic and watched “Family Thanksgiving<\/a>” . Summary: A wealthy, successful corporate lawyer (Daphne Zuniga, \u201cOne Tree Hill\u201d) is living the high life in New York City with little time for anything except her lavish lifestyle until a close encounter with a bizarre mystic (Academy Award\u00ae Winner Faye Dunaway, \u201cNetwork\u201d) drops her into an alternative reality to see what her life might have been like had she made different choices. <\/span><\/p>\n
