Here’s the next entry on AV Club’s Top 25 Holiday Movies: Bad Santa, 2003, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Bernie Mac, Lauren Graham, Octavia Spencer, Tony Cox and John Ritter, his last performance as he died the same year. An American dark Christmas comedy executive produced by the Coen Brothers, directed by Terry Zwigoff • I have seen this, once. It’s got plenty of laughs with a happy ending, maybe something to watch early in the season • We did some cleaning and decorating today. Another cold night tonight, I’ll probably put a few apples out for the dear deer. They gobbled up all the seeds I left for them last night. It read 9F on the thermometer this morning. Even more surprising is the 50F they’re predicting for Sunday!! • Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate! • Peace, Joy & Love
