Over the glorious Christmas Break Dr. Wife and I sat down to watch one of my favorite childhood flicks, Gremlins (1984; that’s an Amazon Affiliate link to a Blu-Ray of the film, along with Gremlins 2 and The Goonies; I received a portion of any purchase made through that link, at no additional cost to you). She had never seen it before, and as it is a Christmas movie (at least, it takes place at Christmas), I thought we should give it a watch. I also knew that she would love Gizmo, the plucky Mogwai (she did).
I remember a similar scenario many years ago with my older brother’s first wife: we all sat down and watched Gremlins, which she had never seen before, and it was a delightful experience. Dr. Wife was feeling under-the-weather when we did our viewing together, but she thoroughly enjoyed it. I did as well, even though I did not enjoy wrapping Christmas presents (poorly) while we watched—ha!
