Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

The networks finally decided to show Rudolph at an acceptable time frame this year. In recent years, the networks had started the Friday after Thanksgiving. That is just way too early. At least wait for December. The boys are old enough now to stay up to 9 PM on rare occasion. So Demi made the suggestion that we all crawl into our bed and watch this classic Christmas special. Demi, the kids, Gizmo, and I all hunkered down and had family time. It was a great idea. On commercials, we discussed the themes that were happening: teasing/bullying, being "different", and even the outdated gender stereotypes. You need to take these opportunities as they come. I don't think most of America recognizes these chances when they happen across them.
