keiramarcosSo,
I have this box set of Christmas Cartoons. It has all the classics. Stoic Nephew is home sick with the flu and I trotted over to my sister's house (after calling my doctor to confirm the flu shot she gave me would protect me from a disease ridden 8 year old). My youngest niece and nephew (ages 4 and 5 respectively) were also on hand to lend their own brand of childlike glee to the afternoon.
We made sugar cookies and decorated them. Dudes, ugliest cookies ever! But that was our goal. We had a Ugly Cookie Contest to see who could make the ugliest face with icing. They tasted great though.
After the Great Cookie Mess of 2012, we piled onto the couch to watch tv while my mother vacated the house for parts unknown. She just left me there with these three children. What happened next is her fault. No, really. I made sure to call my sister and tell her whose fault it was.
We watched Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer first. This was probably a mistake because... well. After it was over, I turn to Stoic Nephew and ask him what the moral of that story was (for the youngest two-- I figured making it educational would be the adult thing to do, right?).
Stoic nephew frowned, blew his nose, and said, "Well, I guess the moral of that story is that if you can prove yourself useful, people will be willing to overlook that you're a freak."
AND it all sort of went downhill from there as both of his siblings readily agreed with him.

Date: 2012-12-20 05:33 am (UTC)Husband of mine it not could be wonderful show to our little kids that amazing stop motion that we watched at little kids?
He said it was a deal so we look over the pirate bay and find a packnor 3 movies of ranking bass but in english... And we were oh wath the heck we can translate the thing to them so what go for it!!
But when i put the children to watch it and me with my tea ready to live translation... I was more and more in horror to watch Santa as a grumpy dick who hate different people and dirent care for what his wife tell him at all.
And worse rein deer father was a bigger dick...
Women are the only awesome here but are despised by males!
So i had to censure almost all the movie and make Santa less dickhead at least! And women more awesome, and that poor elf and rudolph are not freaks they are only diferents and mother deer and girl deer are in the right and everyother is in the wrong!

Date: 2012-12-21 05:17 pm (UTC)very smart nephew you have there. :)
and that reminded me of this video with John Barrowman and Whoopi Goldberg on the Paul o Grady Show and what Whoopi said to John. she said:'even the staunchest republicans love a great performer. they will look past anything (John is openly gay for those that don't know :) ) if you're good.'
it starts at about 2:30min.

and before anyone gets their panties in a twist, I'm not sayin' that he's a freak because he's gay. that's bullshit and you know it!!! I'm just sayin' that what Stoic Nephew said reminded me of what Whoopi said. that's all.
