I need that Audrey elf on my shelf.

No one mentioned "Jingle All the Way", where Schwarzenegger vied with a maniacal mailman to obtain a super-rare toy for his boy. While some of the jokes were so-so this movie was spot-on about how too many people allow commercialism/consumerism squash the true meaning of Christmas.

There was a lot of support for an actual Turbo Man movie starring Arnold but nothing ever came of it.

I did find "Jingle All The Way" to be fun to watch...and you are right: "...this movie was spot-on about how too many people allow commercialism/consumerism squash the true meaning of Christmas..."

My wife and I stopped buying Christmas presents for each other years ago, which I really like. There was once a time I enjoyed it, but it became stressful for me, and for her. Especially for her. Her family is very much into it, and they still don't accept that she doesn't want to be involved in exchanging gifts, even though she has baldly told them multiple times. It can be pretty awkward.

We have a family get-together today, and she said if she gets something, she is just going to give it back. I don't know how this is going to work out.

We both enjoy just appreciating Christmas and dispensing with the gifts, but it is hard for some to understand that I guess.
