Xmas movies

I've always hated holiday movies and TV specials. Whenever anyone posts one of those 'what's your favorite xmas movie?' polls I just scroll by. Until now. "Rare Exports" is a Finnish Xmas movie about Santa Claus. It is the best. (Thanks to Beth and Travis for turning us on to this little masterpiece.)That is all.

Eleni said: “Choices made by you and others circumscribe your life. The lines others draw around you can be shattered at your own will. The lines you draw around yourself are the expressions of that will. Every choice you make closes the loop of your life a little. Make your choices with care and wisdom!” She grinned: “To shatter the walls you build around yourself, you must choose to act out. This is what the most creative people do. They act out. Out of Character, outside the borders of their accustomed choices.
“Choosing not to choose is still choosing.”

Things I've been thinking about

Have you thought about your life lately?
Have you added it up?
You cannot repair the sum of what you are.
Don’t despair. It is not too late.
You cannot subtract from yourself, but you can add.
Not to the past, no, but to the now.
Stand up.
Do.
Add to the future of the world. Or subtract.
