"Love Actually" - A New XMas Tradition

12 more days till XMAS!!!!
Well, most of us are probably watching the classic movies that gets re broadcast year after year during the Holidays: "White XMas", A Christmas Carol", The Sound Of Music", and so on... or Newer XMas Classics: "Home Alone", A Christmas Story", Scrooged", etc...

One movie that has become a tradition for me is "Love Actually"...  The movie follows 8 interrelated couples - all dealing with their own kinds of LOVE -- set during the frenzied month of DEC...  culminating on XMAS DAY... 

It is one of those movies that has everything and are all well told, well paced, and each with its' own HAPPY ENDING -- even when the couples do not really get together in the end... It is both heartwarming  and REAL....  Below are the two STAND OUT story arcs in my opinion... 

The BEST STORY LINE:
This Kiera Knightley one is one of the sweetest pay off in a love story movie...even though the GUY does not get the girl....


The MOST HEARTBREAKING one:
Midlife Crisis at its' most devastating....  knowing that your other half is having an affair....  the look on Emma Thompson's face upon opening up her XMAS gift of a Joni Mitchell CD is so heartbreaking.... 


...The other stories are just as GREAT and TOUCHING... this is truly one of the BEST Holiday movies for the MODERN TIMES.....  and will Forever be Timeless.....
