It's Christmas time? Seriously?

Because I can't tell down here in the basement (a.k.a. my home). These papers are seriously sucking my will to live. Christmas break is going to be drunktacular - Al's gonna be partying Britney Spears style (but, wearing underwear).

My girlfriends and I are going to see a movie this week. There's sooo many out right now. We're thinking The Holiday just to get us in happy Christmas mode. But Blood Diamond looks amazing too. Plus, it has Leo, always a bonus. Anyone have a vote for which one I should see? Boys, I don't know if you have a say - I know you're pick.
