<p>On Day 74, Laney and I are off on a crazily festive adventure.  In preparation, <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2010/12/01/day-64-christmas-pjs-to-be-continuedworn-on-day-74/" target="_blank"><strong>Laney insisted that I acquire Christmas PJs pronto.</strong></a>  Check. </p>

<p>She was also quite adamant that I MUST watch the movie <em>The Polar Express.  </em>Which I did on Day 68.  Check. </p>

<p>I have mixed reviews about the movie.  And after reading the reviews on <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/polar_express/#" target="_blank"><strong>RottenTomatoes.com</strong></a> today, I am not alone. </p>

<p>My name is not Scrooge, so instead of sharing my two cent armchair movie review, here is a precious song for your listening pleasure.</p>
