Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

The Sound of Music is not a Christmas movie.

My wife and her family and a whole bunch of Canadians all think it is and I am so flummoxed by it.

I love that movie but it’s the first time I’m hearing it being referred to as a Christmas movie. Iirc there isn’t even any Christmas celebration in it?

no!! It takes place around the Salzburg festival which is in…July I think?

Is the first Rambo movie a Christmas movie?

I'll stand over here on my hill and say that Return to Oz IS a Christmas movie.

I haven’t seen it! What makes it a Christmas movie?

I like the theory that the fellowship of the ring is a Christmas movie because if you read the books, they use a Gregorian calendar and if you add up travel time etc, apparently you can prove that the fellowship left Rivendell on December 25!
