National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Joy and I certainly aren't the culture police but we get a little tired of modern movie offerings. Much of today's comedy lacks originality and relies on an endless tirade of "f-bombs" and childish jokes. Case in point, Step Brothers. It started out okay but quickly turned into a tiring and disgusting movie.

So, it was with great pleasure that Joy and I watched a great, classic movie, the 1989 hit, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Good laughs with Chevy Chase, hilarious characters with the family members and only one or two uses of the "f-bomb."

Check out the video clips below and go grab it at Netflix or find it at your local video store for some great holiday humor.

Broncos Game

Every year my brother Dan and I try to go to a Broncos game together. This year we decided we wanted to go to one of the really cold, winter games. The Buffalo game on Dec. 21 fit the bill and we got some great seats from some friends. We sat in the 6th row on the 40 yard line and could literally hear the Bills players talking on the sideline. The Broncos needed to win to secure a playoff spot so there was a lot of energy in the stadium but unfortunately they couldn't put it away. Here's some pictures:
