Last year I got a copy of "A Christmas Story" that I loved as a kid of the 70s (and a huge Darrin McGavin fan because I liked to watch "The Night Stalker" with my dad).

My Eastern European wife and my Central European/American son watched it with me. My wife got half way into the film before declaring this was the worst Christmas film she had ever seen in her life and what the fuck is wrong with me and me liking the film fist with a lot of shit that was wrong with my childhood.

Whenever Christmas movies come up, she never fails to mention how I still owe her for making her watch any portion of that film.

Interestingly enough, she loves the Home Alone films.
