#Missouri residents can don their kerchiefs and caps and settle down for a long winter's nap tonight, knowing that #Santa's nine #reindeer are free of tuberculosis, brucellosis and chronic wasting disease. The state's Department of #Agriculture recently issued a permit allowing #SaintNick to fly his team through the state to deliver presents this #Christmas Eve.

Do you know why the skeleton couldn't go to the Christmas party? He had no body to go with. #Prancer #MushroomFM

@nycki96 Don‘t You think @sara could give some crackers for getting in touch via Mastodon and sitting at the same table #Prancer for this years christmas countdown #MushroomFM

@menelion As far as I can see we are sitting at the same table. Greetings from Germany!#Prancer #MushroomFM

I’ve been using the time off to catch up on movies, too. Yesterday was a triple-feature:

#Prancer - hadn’t watched in decades, was filmed in the area where I grew up, underrated as far as small-budget Christmas movies go.
#DontWorryDarling - good in a Black Mirror episode way, set design and score helped a lot
#Amsterdam - had some slow moments, but what an allegory for things today.

Today is going to be #Letterkenny and maybe #GlassOnion.

Catching up with myself on the movie thread…
53. #Prancer (2022 - new) 7/10. Better than I expected and some genuine Christmassy moments. Little girl playing the lead was really good. And Farmer Hoggett was good, too. He does do quality curmudgeonry.
54. #Troll (new). 8/10, but a good 8/10 if that makes sense. Love folkloric tales; this is a nice take - more could’ve been made of the royal connection, I think. Enjoyable!

Yep, another dive into Amazon Prime Video. And another Christmas movie. Of course. Prancer.
