Last night I drove to East Aurora after school to spend time with my mom, stepdad and brother. One of my favorite Christmas movies aside from the usuals (It's a Wonderful life, A Chrstimas Story), is The Family Stone. I think Ilove it so much because it's all about the up's and down's families go through and getting through it because they're all they have. The Stone family gathers one Christmas at their New England home. When their eldest son brings home his uptight girlfriend they all give her a hard time. It's great for some laughs, but it also tugs at your heart as we learn the mother, Cybil, played Diane Keaton, by has cancer. It is easy to feel like you are part of this wonderfully imperfect family. This movie is a tradition I have brought to my family.
