It's day 2 of The 12 Days Of Christmas Movies! And this one is getting personal! We did a classic film first and this one is more modern. The Family Man. This film is the flip side of It's A Wonderful Life, in which the main character gets to see what the world would be like if he were never born. In this one, the main character gets the chance to see what his life would be like if he had taken a different path in life. If he had chosen Love over Career! It is so good.
It stars Nicolas Cage. It's a very touching movie in which you can almost see the paradigm shift as his way of thinking & looking at life changes. It's a glimpse into what could have been. He goes from being a single guy living in Manhattan, working on Wall Street, to a Husband & Father, living in Jersey, working for his Father-In-Law, selling tires. Ouch!
It's really a funny movie! The little girl who plays his daughter is so stinking cute. And you know I know stinking cute little girls! :) Please, go to Blockbuster or the Red Box tonight if you have never seen this movie! I promise you, you will love it! Would I lie?

I still think of her every time I watch it! And her husband Tom's Birthday is today, December 4th. He went to be with her in Heaven this year. And watching this movie every year brings me a little bit closer to them. (I warned you that this one was personal!)

The Family Man truly is a Holiday family movie classic for me and my family, and I hope it becomes one for you and yours as well.
