Favorite Holiday Movies
December 8, 2008
During the holiday season, it seems like you can’t turn on the TV without coming across movies like Miracle on 34th Street and some version of A Christmas Carol. This is my Holiday Movie guide, please let me know if you have any favorites for me to add.
1. A Christmas Story (1983)
This wonderfully narrated memoir is a great family movie and is the hands-down favorite for so many of my clients. The story of a boy growing up in the 1940s and wishing for the ultimate Christmas gift: a Red Ryder BB gun. Rated PG.
2. Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
Starring Maureen O’Hara, Edmund Gwenn and a very young Natalie Wood. Kris Kringle attempts to prove in a court of law that he is indeed the real Santa Claus. Meanwhile, most of the adults in the film think he is just an insane old man. Unrated.
3. Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
A very Halloweenish Christmas from Disney and creative genius Tim Burton. The Pumpkin King gets bored with Halloween Town and tries to take over Christmas Town. Rated PG.
4. Holiday Inn (1942)
A love triangle – musical style – that takes place at a resort that is only open during the holidays. Starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. To top it off, the movie won an Academy Award for best song: the classic “White Christmas.” Unrated.
5. Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Director Ron Howard’s live-action remake of the 1966 animated television classic stars Jim Carrey as the Grinch who tries to end Christmas in Whoville. Rated PG.
6. 29th Street (1991)
Luck is a funny thing. A New Yorker wins the state’s first lottery on Christmas Eve, despite his bad luck. Based on a true story. Rated R.
7. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
Jimmy Stewart teamed up with Frank Capra. What more is there to say? Well, here’s a little more: An angel gives Stewart a chance to seewhat life would be like if he hadn’t been born. A real Christmas classic. Unrated.
8. Trading Places (1983)
A new twist on the nature versus nurture argument: Two wealthy seniors make a wager on the lives of a snobby investor and a con artist.
Starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. Rated R.
9. A Christmas Carol (1951) (a.k.a. Scrooge)
This classic Dickens tale has been filmed numerous times, but we recommend the 1951 version. A bitter old man discovers the joy in life, thanks to the help of some ghosts. Unrated.
10. Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
Travel during the holidays isn’t easy. Steve Martin does whatever he has to in order to make it home for the holidays–including taking on an obnoxious salesman (played by John Candy) as a traveling companion. Rated R.
11. The Bishop’s Wife (1947)
Cary Grant as an angel? How delightful! A minister’s wife develops a crush on Cary Grant (who wouldn’t?). Unrated.
12. Home for the Holidays (1995)
Going home for the holidays can be difficult, as Holly Hunter’s character proves in this Jodie Foster film about spending time with family during Thanksgiving. Rated PG-13.
13. Home Alone (1990)
An eight-year-old enjoys the holidays after he is accidentally left at home while the rest of the family travels to Paris. This movie was the first of several Home Alone films. Rated PG.

Chiropractors Great in RSB!
December 5, 2008
I want to tell you all about Dr. Reis and Dr. Kotzan and how great their staff is. Dr. Reis has helped me with walking and moving for the last few years and after I thought it wasn’t possible. I am so glad that I met him, he is a blessing. And, with Dr. Kotzan, what a wonder he is as an equal compliment to Dr. Reis’s busy practice. The staff goes out of their way to get everyone in and treated. They are totally fantastic!
Dr. Reis and Dr. Kotzan often work overtime to help people with any crisis and are always there for you! They both specialize in Active Release Therapy and Sports Injury and Family Chiropratic Services.
