But it has become stodgy, stale, relatively out-of-touch. And it persists because we let it persist, content to forgo new additions for the comfort and familiarity of the old hits, during a season when we willfully revert to our childhood selves. Shielded from the abrasive bustle of "real life," we're all too happy to relinquish our critical faculties in favor of watching Home Alone or It's a Wonderful Life for the billionth time.  Which is fine. Really, it is. I love those movies as much as any human being with a pulse and a modicum of holiday spirit. But Christmas break is long—and it can feel longer when you're having circuitous conversations about your love life with Mom instead of quietly watching movies on your couch. That's why I'm proposing an expansion of the Christmas movie canon.   UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
