I Dreamed a Dream

I hope you all enjoyed spending time 

with your loved ones at Christmas, 

and that your bellies are full of home-cooked goodness.

One of my family's traditions is that we always go and see a 

movie on Christmas day. 

After you've been cooped up in the house

opening gifts, eating three plates of food {and then dessert, too}

and watching basketball, you're ready to get out. 

This year we went to see Les Miserables (of course). 

I was so excited I didn't think I could wait any longer to go see it.

I haven't read the book, nor seen the play, which is very unlike me. 

To be quite honest, until the trailers came out I thought 

Susan Boyle made the song "I Dreamed a Dream" famous

when she was on Britain's Got Talent. 

Shameful, I know. 

I'm sure Emily is glad the movie is finally out 

because whenever the Les Mis trailer would come on tv

Samantha and I would sing the song in our best opera voice. 

I thought we were pretty good, but apparently others thought differently. 

Anyways, I hope you are able to see it too soon. 

And if movies aren't your thing, I'm sure there are plenty of after-Christmas sales

at the mall. (as if you didn't get your year's worth of shopping in the last three days.)

Enjoy the rest of your holiday!
