I was really taken with this film. They got so many nuances of the orchestral world right. Except her concertmaster wife not really playing violin, and that Masterclass was nothing to get upset over, I’ve seen and experienced much worse.

First of all, this has been my handle for YEARS on here.

I logged in just so I could star this comment.

The cabin scene was delightful.

The pressure of parenting during Christmas is off the chain. My favorite Christmas ever was when we did none of the traditional rigamarole and instead, spent it at a National Park, surrounded in a quiet and peaceful Winter Wonderland. My kids just asked if we could do it again. Absolutely magical.

This is my recurring nightmare as well and it’s the only one that gives me shivers when I’m awake, too.

I am just starting out in politics and holy shirtballs is her advice still 100% spot on.
