HOLIDAY SEASON

I want to start with an apt quote by Dave Barry, an American writer, humor columnist  and author of Insane City:

“In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!”

Christmas means different things to different people...It is a time for remembering, a time to share the goodness of your heart with others, for expressing with words and presents what someone means to you, the traditional Christmas Eve dinner, traditions, songs and parties.

However, what I personally value most is making time and being nice to each other during the busy holiday season. I wish our feelings of peace and happiness lasted all year round.

Merry Xmas, and may this new year 2015 bring you joy and laughter!

THE HOBBIT

A film we have recently seen...

The Battle of Five Armies is the final episode of Peter Jackson´s film series based on J.R.R. Tolkien´s work. Starring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins again - What a surprise!

The film had been released in December and came to Czech cinemas on December 11^th.

It was a good reason for having a free Cinema Day and go to Cinema IMax at Flora.

The last journey to Middle-earth makes a lot of changes to the original story, although the Oscar winning filmmaker Jackson’s, adaptation of the final battle is worth seeing.
