The nightmare after Christmas

In the Gospel of Matthew, Herod, the Roman-appointed king of the Jews, orders the killing of all the children in Bethlehem age two or younger — his attempt to eliminate a prophesied newborn Christ. Warned by an angel, the father of the infant Jesus escapes with his family to Egypt. The account in Matthew makes no attempt to explain why God’s angel saves Jesus at the expense of so many innocent children. Just as puzzling, the other gospels make no mention of the infanticide.

Renaissance artists portrayed the Massacre of the Innocents hundreds of times, typically as a panoramic scene of mass slaughter viewed from some distance. Nicolas Poussin’s painting, from around 1625, brings the viewer uncomfortably close to the brutal slaying of a single child. The image here is a public domain scan of the painting in the Condé Museum in France.

As a European city that has been deeply influenced by European traditions, Christmas in Buenos Aires is much more similar to the holiday in Europe and North America than other cities in South America. Christmas in Buenos Aires allows you to involve in many activities and things to do.

Lucy Spata house 1152 84th St Brooklyn NY 11228 Between 12 & 11 Avenue DHCL cited to be started by Lucy Spata when she moved to the neighborhood from Bensonhurst in 1986 no one on the block decorated back in the early 1980's Lucy started small with a snowflake and some blow mold light up soldiers then went bigger and the neighborhood caught on and joined in making it the uplifting display that it has gown to be. Lucy Spata first put up her display with 40 angels on her lawn to honor her mother after she passed away in 1986. In July 2019 Lucy's husband Anthony Spata passed away and had Lucy promise that she would keep on decorating for Christmas to which she agreed calling it a beautiful tradition. Lucy does not accept donations for the lighting bill as Spata does this from her heart wanting the children who visit to feel the warmth and joy of the season, if children visit at special time they can meet Santa Claus on the red chair in front of the home which is the same red chair where many pose for their annual Brooklyn Christmas photos, Merry Christmas from I Love NY!

Holiday Movies To Watch This Season

It is that time of year again and if you want easy, stress-free, commercial-free, and yes a Christmas romantic comedy full of cliches, I have the list for you. Who doesn’t love a cheesy, romantic holiday? I know I do. I love watching them while cooking meals, baking cookies, online shopping, wrapping presents, or just vegging out on the couch or in bed.

While I love me some Love Actually and have finally conceded that Die Hard is a Christmas movie, don’t judge me, you will find neither on this list. You can just sit back with a glass of wine or hot cocoa and enjoy the fun, silliness, and the somewhat predictable Christmas movie love fest.

Here’s what to watch now on Netflix.

9 Holiday Movies Worth Watching Now

Falling For Christmas

In the days leading up to Christmas, a young and newly engaged heiress experiences a skiing accident. After being diagnosed with amnesia, she finds herself in the care of the handsome lodge owner and his daughter.

It was good to see Lindsey Lohan in a new movie. This is a typical cheesy Christmas but is also sweet and funny. You can watch it now on Netflix.

Love Hard

An LA girl, unlucky in love, falls for an East Coast guy on a dating app and decides to surprise him for the holidays, only to discover that she's been catfished. This lighthearted romantic comedy chronicles her attempt to reel in love.

This holiday rom-com encompasses all the typical elements and has just the right amount of cuteness and humor, and a little lesson on the perils of online dating. Sometimes people are not who they seem to be.

A Castle for Christmas

To escape a scandal, a bestselling author journeys to Scotland, where she falls in love with a castle - and faces off with the grumpy duke who owns it. - IMBD

It was great to see some familiar faces in this holiday romantic comedy. Think Blue Lagoon and The Princess Bride. Okay maybe that’s taking it back a little too far but you get my point. Holiday romance is not just for twenty-something-year-olds.

Operation Christmas Drop

Congressional aide Erica (Graham) forgoes family Christmas to travel at her boss's behest. At a beachside Air Force base, she clashes with Capt. Andrew Jantz (Ludwig), who knows her assignment is finding reasons to defund the facility. - IMBD

Set in the backdrop of real-life operations that help small pacific islands every year, this fictitious romance is a sweet reminder of the importance of generosity and the true Christmas spirit of giving.

The Holiday

Two women troubled with guy-problems swap homes in each other's countries, where they each meet a local guy and fall in love. - IMDB

The Holiday came out over fifteen years ago, but it’s still fun and relatable, and in some ways, and perfect for this time of year.

A Snowbound Christmas

Marketing exec lands a spot on a big project but before the presentation, a snowstorm traps her and her boss at a resort where they realize there is more to their relationship than just business. - IMBD

I believe this originally appeared on Hallmark but nevertheless, this is a sweet, and family-friendly holiday movie.

A Christmas Prince

When a reporter goes undercover as a tutor to get the inside scoop on a playboy prince, she gets tangled in some royal intrigue and ends up finding love - but will she be able to keep up her lie? - IMDB

A Christmas Prince is great for the family to watch together. Very cheesy, and Disney-like but also sweet and heartwarming. It is actually a trilogy now, so you can also watch A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding and A Christmas Prince: A Royal Baby.

Holidate

Fed up with being single on holidays, two strangers agree to be each other's platonic plus-ones all year long, only to catch real feelings along the way. - IMDB

This was a surprisingly entertaining rom-com. This is funny and cute but it is not family-friendly due to language and content.

The Holiday Calendar

A struggling but talented photographer inherits an antique holiday advent calendar, the contents of which seem to predict the future. Will this magical calendar lead her to love this holiday season?

I love the magical elements added to this holiday story. This is another family-friendly Christmas movie that everyone can sit down together and watch.

Some of these are old and some of these are new but they are all perfect for this time of year to curl up on the couch and watch. Or to just enjoy as you wrap gifts or relax. I have watched them all and hope you give a couple or all of them a try too! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
