A Holiday Tradition

I have a strange tradition. Every year, around Christmas time, I watch the movie 'The Family Man'. I watch it alone and I watch it drunk.

I love this movie. Nicholas Cage plays a rich, successful, single guy who works in New York, has a nice apartment and drives a Ferrari. He somehow gets thrown into a less cool life where he lives in Jersey and is married to Tea Leoni with two kids.

But in the end, he magically emerges from this sad domestic, parental life and goes back to his normal kick-ass life. At the end of the movie, it appears he'll still be banging Tea Leoni but, at least for now, has no friggin' kids.
