Really not much on in terms of Christmas films this week. The Bloor is showing National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (which is about as far away from a Christmas classic as we can imagine without being a film about aliens from another galaxy that have never heard of Christmas) and White Christmas. We’re still happy to recommend Enchanted (we just saw it, and it was absolutely lovely), but for those of you who want to see something specifically related to Christmas, the Revue has come to your rescue with the help of Dion Conflict, who will be showing Christmas Kitsch-A-Roo at 9:30 p.m. If you’re familiar with Dion Conflict’s Hunk-A-Junk screenings, you’ll know what to expect—a variety of utterly bizarre found shorts—but they’re normally excellent fun and the Christmas theme means some really weird stuff is going to show up. Hopefully he’ll be showing the legendary Santa Claus' Punch and Judy, which really has to be seen to be believed.

Happy Holidays from the Ist-A-Verse!

So it’s Christmas next week, which means, as per usual, not very much going on in terms of independent cinema in Toronto but shed loads of films shoved out in the multiplexes to get that much sought after cash of people who want to sit in a darkened room. Ironically, of course, all of the festive films came out in about September so they could bleed as much cash out of them as possible, so there’s really very little Christmassy (or Chanukahey, or Kwanzaey) on, unless we count the Bloor showing It's A Wonderful Life at 7 pm tonight (it’s a free screening for members, too).

Thanks for reading. And please send any suggestions you might have for the site over to us. In the words of one happily married pop tart, 'Happy Holidays Y'alls!'

Of course, while here at home we're having the lowest December temperatures in quite a spell, most of Southeast Asia has been slammed by an earthquake/tsunami considered the strongest in forty years. Makes you appreciate a slight chilly snap. Happy Boxing Day All!

, by Toronto artist Sean Yul Singer. Singer quotes Marianne Williamson to put in words what Miller's card is meant to be saying, beyond 'Happy Holidays from MDM and fam.' "Liberate Yourself by Liberating Others," he says. This clinches what Torontoist has long suspected about Miller's art taste (he also has some large Matisse prints hanging in his kitchen, or so a previous issue of TO Life tells us). He's a Fauvist at heart! In any event, kudos to MDM for not doing the 'family in matching christmas sweaters sitting by the fire grinning til their ears fall off' shot. Like so.
