the nightmare at christmas...not before.

Nahla likes to watch "pa" ie frosty the snowman. So I made the mistake of putting on the cricket and the hearth. This is a review. 1/2 out of 5 for trying.
This delightfully horrid Christmas classic is a Christmas classic because well no one would watch it if they hadn't drank to much eggnog.

There were a lot of troubling things about this movie so I decided to list them from most troubling to least for easy reading.
1. The cartoon fathers tupee. For some reason he was wearing a brown tupee with grey hair. I understand they were low on cash. He probably couldn't upgrade his scalp carpet, being low on cash, but then lose it. I don't care if your daughter is blind, save others from its hidiousness.
2. The daughters long lost lover returning to her after she had thought he died dressed as an old man. I missed the part how it made sense that it was easiest to hit on her as an 80 year old because her lost lover returning from the dead was to tramatizing. May be I'm the odd one out but I think someone with a grave plot already paid for flirting with me is way worse.
3. The blind daughter being able to paint faces on miniature dolls...need I say more?
4. The acid tripped out songs. Crazy enough to take any woodstock attendee down memory lane.
5. The phrase "as it were" being used all the time.

I could go on believe me but Im texting this whole thing so goodnight.
