Home Alone Top 10
We have something at work we do in which we rewatch old movies together as a group and I recommended for us to rewatch Home Alone. Home Alone is a classic and was always one of my favorite Christmas movies to watch. Listen, rewatching movies as an adult - it hits different! Here's my top 10 things I noticed while watching Home Alone - in no particular order.
- Kevin had a long day and really needed a hug at the beginning of the movie from his mom.
- The family needed better controls to ensure a child or no one is left on a family trip - instead of numbers call everyone by name.
- What did Kevin's uncle, Rob McAllister do for a living to afford to pay for so many people to travel internationally for the holidays?
- Uncle Buck could not read the room when the mom noticed she forgot Kevin at home. His response was well, I forgot my glasses too. Smh.
- The price of pizza aged well. 10 pizzas at $12 dollars; however, the rest of the stuff he purchased at the store would cost like $75 or more today.
- Why did Kevin have access to a gun - even it was a BB gun?
- It is interesting watching them walk straight to their gate in the airport - no security check or anything.
- Kevin's mom had her address book to call her neighbors. I can't remember the last time I saw an address book.
- Sometimes you think you are afraid of things until you have to boss up like Kevin.
- The scene with his neighbor at the church was my favorite scene. So often the older generation is forgotten and they have so many beautiful stories and wisdom to share with others.
Looking back on this movie, there were a lot of movies I watched as a child, which would not be acceptable for kids today to watch. What is your favorite holiday movie to watch?

A Week of Thanks Rambles…
It’s the week of Thanksgiving! First off, I’m not sure why corporate America doesn’t allow us the entire week off like the children - minus the homework packages we used to receive the week before the holidays. I was an overachiever in school and I always finished my packets on the first day out of school, so I could enjoy the rest of the days off.
However, it never fails, every year I forget something at the store I need for cooking. Like Every single year. Okay, so this time I didn’t forget something from my list. I had sage at home, but I should have purchased a new one. I’m pretty sure, I hadn’t used the bottle I have since the holidays in 2021. 😂Don’t worry y’all, I ordered some more sage because it is required for my dressing. Sidenote: Dressing is the best holiday food - to me. Lol
Holiday storytime: So one year we went to my aunt’s house for the holidays and no one made dressing. 😩 My mom decided she wasn’t cooking that year and so one of my sisters (I won’t share their name) and I decided to make the dressing. 🙃 #tragic My mom warned us too much sage could turn the dressing green and cause the guest to be sick; therefore we opted to not include any sage in the dressing (it was probably my decision). Y’all the dressing was terrible. 🤢It tasted like seasoned cornbread with onions and celery.
I digress. Well, my dressing is much better now. Lol. Anywho all of this to say, happy holidays to you and your family! Please feel free to share a memorable Thanksgiving story!
I’m thankful to every one of you who reads and or listens to my blogs.
