After bailing on our planned expedition to Omaha at the Iowa border, we had a very relaxing Christmas day. We went in the early afternoon to catch the first showing of Black Swan, which was incredibly intense. I understand why some reviewers accuse Natalie Portman's acting of being passive, but the visuals combined with the music kept us both on the edges of our seats.
We went back that evening to see The Fighter, which was a good movie, but not a surprise, since you rather expect things to go the way they do. The sisters had to be the best part of the film, sitting on the couch, complaining and organising trouble...
This has to be the first Christmas in years we haven't been up to our ears in family members. I don't expect to set a precedent, but it was a welcome change.
