RAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Edition!

No matter what you celebrate, all the different cultural holidays are relatively the same.  At least they all seem to share the same messages so there is nothing wrong with wishing someone a Merry Christmas if they are not Christian or Happy Hanukkah if they are not Jewish.  You are simply saying I'm wishing you a wonderful holiday or time of year... is that so bad?  I know some people say, "Oh I don't celebrate that" or "I'm not Jewish."  Who cares!  You can be Jewish or Christian for the day, will it kill or hurt you?  To me, it's the same thing as if saying, "Have a good (or great) day!"  But you are mixing it up a little bit for one time during the year.  Accept it, appreciate it, reply back thanks or to  you as well.. or whatever you prefer.

Weekly Update:

Wow it rained a LOT this week!  YES!!!!  Finally!!!  We need it!  Bring more rain please!  So it started around Wednesday night, Thursday morning, very light, barely enough to get the ground wet.  Then it continued to build and build.  Come Friday morning (like early AM) it came down heavy!  I love the sound of rain in a warm home or under the sheets as it hits the house and ground.  But also it washes away all the pollution, soot from all the fires from the year and hopefully refills a lot of dry river beds and aqua ducts we have.  Oh and the snow on the mountains again!  That is always so great to see because that snow will be our future water supply.  I just wish I had a way to collect as much rain water as I can to use for things like my grass when I need it instead of relying on sprinklers all the time.  Just saying, need ways to save water while we can.

At the movies:

The holiday weekend was in full swing as "Spider-Man: No Way Home" holds top honors with another 81.5 million and now over 450 mil domestic cume.  It did suffer a sizeable drop but how could it not with such a tremendous opening!  Should hit 500 by end of next weekend if not sooner.  Taking the spotlight at #2 is Sing 2 with 41 million and overall buzz is mellow for it but should still have a nice 2nd weekend.  Sweeping in to #3 is The Matrix Resurrections with 22.5 mil and not a whole lot on this film, will struggle to hit 100 mil if at all.  Coming in at #4 is The King's Man with only 10 mil to open and not an outstanding number for the holiday.  This could have done better on a different time frame I think.  Rounding off the top 5 is American Underdog with 6.2 mil and probably will stay under.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one major release, coming in at #8 is A Journal for Jordan with 2.2 mil and will probably be lucky to hit 10 mil.
