12 Days of Christmas (Day 8)
Original Review:
Christmas, it's a holiday that many celebrate around the world. Some call it a pagan holiday, some have no interest at all, some think it's overly commercialized and some love every part of it. What category (s) do you fit in? Kirk Cameron went above and beyond in this film. He addresses all of the above issues with his Brother-In-Law during a Christmas party. His BIL is fed up with everything Christmas. He wants to celebrate baby Jesus but doesn't want the rest. Because of his feelings, he goes into overload and retreats to his car. Kirk finds him in the car and piece by piece addresses each of the issues. By using biblical references and historical information Kirk helps his BIL see the true meaning that is too easily obscured. What began as a party where he excluded himself because of everything going on becomes a party where he fully involves himself and even shakes it up a bit. It's absolutely amazing what we can do if we humble ourselves. Now this movie isn't just for "believers", that is the targeted audience but this reaches beyond. I was personally amazed at the quality of this. I walked into it honestly dreading it. The poster looked silly and goofy, and though I thought the title had merit... I wasn't expecting much. I was so happy to be surprised in a good way. I appreciated the way it was told and how it was told. It isn't meant to shove anything down anyone's throat. It's simply identifying what was hidden right in front of us. If you have an opportunity to see this, do... Then share it :) you'll be glad you did.
