Laura's Holiday Extravaganza!

[whitenerd6960]

Just a random question, but if your chipotle reminded me of Panera Bread for some reason. Do you frequent that magical resturant? If so, what do you like to get? Great video by the way!

[MadsAwesomepants]

This is my favorite holiday movie too, regrettably my parents hate me and rid the house of a VHS player and the VHS Annabel's Wish. When she eats said milk dud/cheese balls and that weird like slurp eating business commences I think that spawned my hatred of hearing people eat. Annabel is the best and I always wanted a little brown cow afterward.

[thefannylemon]

I feel like you should know that when you first started talking about the cheeseballs scene I immediately said aloud, "Nope, wrong, they were totally bon-bons" despite having last seen that movie when I was about seven, and, yeah.

[TheBForce]

omg i remember that movie!

[dunzy1996]

I remember this film from when I was about 4. Thank you for reminding me about it. :D

[nicciweasley]

So extravagant! :-o

[spiderplant3]

I find it interesting how we make up a lot of memories, just through repetition.

Oh and we post-rationalise the majority of our decisions, because once we reach a decision, we naturally forget how we came to that decision, so when someone asks us why we decided that way, we have to make it up using bits and pieces.

I personally have many memories from my childhood that I'm not sure if they are real or just the product of other people telling me stories about my childhood.

[HouseofETL]

Ive been trying to remember the name of this film for so long ... I loved it when I was little and watching it is one of my earliest memorys

[HouseofETL]

Oh my god when I was 3 I used to cry at this film so much oh my god wah this is one of my earliest memorys

[madasrabbits06]

why you only have six candles for hanukkah?

[lauradoestheastro]

@madasrabbits06 Because I only have six of those candles

[madasrabbits06]

@lauradoestheastro fair enough...

[desertislanddream]

I absolutely loved that movie! It was so good. I should go find it and watch it...

[slavicpolymath]

Wordless spoon glance.

[emmfan09]

I've never seen that movie, but it looks like it's from the '90s, so I feel like I would enjoy it. My Christmas 2D fave going up was Frosty the Snowman. It gets sad at times, as all children's flicks do, but it's still wonderful and stuff and things.

[BuchaLucha]

Oh nose! You forgot festivus!

[aquatius5]

I don't remember any particular Christmas film from when I was younger. Except maybe for Olive the other Reindeer.

[mrkulness]

I'm DRUNK :D

[tumnusLOVE]

That was one of my favorite movies growing up.

[hotpinkelephant11]

Man I want some cheese balls.

[TheMissingSignal]

I have actually seen Abigale's Christmas movie, although in my mind it has mixed with Rudolph and Bambi. I'm sure it's because of that sassy black woman.

[iheartm20]

Any reason for a tub of cheese balls is reason enough.

Glad to see you're still doing the astro!

[DukeofYar]

I'm so glad other people know about this movie! I thought I was the only one who knew it existed! AND! I love that you have the VHS. I now have to find that things, plug in the VCR, and watch it. I'm going to revert back to my childhood, and I have no regrets.

[lauradoestheastro]

@DukeofYar From the looks of the comments, it seems like everyone thought they were the only one who knew it existed. Maybe we were all just hipsters as kids and liked this one obscure Christmas movie.

[wordsofjed]

I HAVE SEEN THAT! I REMEMBER IT! IT WAS MY INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT OF HAPPY TEARS!

[habojspade]

Now I feel included too.

[Morlaboborla]

YOU FORGOT FESTIVUS, LAURA! FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US! I am deeply offended. 

[cantaloupestarfruit]

I very much enjoyed this, Laura. Also, I chose to make it snow during the video, so that was cool. Happy holidays!

[llamasomething]

So there's a button on this video to make it snow on the video, but I've gone through my entire subscriptions and this is the only video that there is a snow button on...I'm confused.

[llamasomething]

That movie was like my favorite movie ever. I used to watch it every year. I completely forgot about it until this video, thank you for reminding me of it!

I wish I had a VCR so I could watch it again...

[alliteration1247]

I love your relationship

[Keetslein]

I have a similar story about Bambi (which I watched so often that my older sister broke the vhs in front of me)...in my memory there is no talking in the movie...I mean I honestly thought that none of the animals spoke even though I had a simultaneous memory of Bambi talking to Thumper. I think I was confused since Bambi doesn't talk at all but all the other animals do.

[smileyhippo106]

I actually loved that movie.

[miraclesandmadness]

1. I watched that movie as a child!

2. Those cheese balls are a staple at movie marathons with my friends.

3. I felt it was necessary to use YouTube's snowflake feature for this video.

[EmilyJaneUnavailable]

Ah, that movie was my favorite!

[hopeonatenspeed]

i paid on obscene amount of money for a bad burrito in bangkok the other weekend. oh, life in thailand...

[NessaR12]

I remember not wanting to watch Annabelle's Wish. I'm just not very fond of talking animal cartoon movies.

[istealspoons]

I loved that movie as a kid. That being said, my sisters and I always got the generic movies. So, yeah. :)

[RatherBeSmiling]

I understand the urge to eat cheese balls. It's A Wonderful Life always makes me want to drink to excess. Same thing.

[lauradoestheastro]

@RatherBeSmiling Yeah, same. Eight Crazy Nights always makes me want to do lots of cocaine.

[Hellybot]

The Winter Solstice is today! That's a holiday.

[lauradoestheastro]

@Hellybot FUUUUUUUUU

[Hellybot]

@lauradoestheastro That's okay. Youtube celebrated it for you with the new snowflake button on the video players haha.

[chrissytheninja]

I HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE. I have never met anyone who has seen it before now.

[Hobartthedolphinboy]

Are those Target cheese balls? Those are SUB PAR

[LetLovesOwls]

I watched that every Christmas! :D lol cheese balls. This reminds me that whenever I watch Matilda, there's a part where the parents eat marshmallows on a stick. I always want to eat marshmallows on a stick at that part. I'm not even a huge fan of marshmallows. Subliminal messaging perhaps? Marshmallows is fun to type. Try it...MARSHMALLOWS

[lauradoestheastro]

@LetLovesOwls Matilda just made me want chocolate cake. Which is HORRIBLE because of the context in which cake appears in that movie.

[LetLovesOwls]

@lauradoestheastro hahaha that is horrible...it also makes me want chocolate cake

[plainwhitepaperful]

Clicking the snowflake button right above the view counter makes this video 1000x better.

[The95Alex]

omg snow on the video !! :))

[alwayskatharine]

Bals? Bals. I'm going with it. This is definitely a word.

[alwayskatharine]

I have, indeed, seen this movie. And... any excuse for cheese bals is useful.

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

-OMG I remember Annabelle's Wish! I watched it a lot... but I haven't seen it in a while

-HAhahaha! When you said she was eating cheese balls, I thought, "Hmm... idr that part..." xD

*hug*

"The horse is a sassy black woman..... :]" LOL I really want to watch that movie again

[lauradoestheastro]

@iLeaveYouWithHugs Haha, yeah my parents were probably very confused about why I always wanted those when I watched it.

And to me the movie doesn't quite hold up anymore. Probably because I am 10 years older than I was when I last watched it.

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

@lauradoestheastro hahaha I can understand that xD

[FrkHoltegaard]

Annabelles Wish! Aw, I'd completely forgotten about that movie. Loved it when I was a kid. It was one of the few movies we had in our summer cabin, so I would watch it over and over during rainy summer days. And I live in Denmark by the way, so.. Annabelle's apparently all over the world.

[lauradoestheastro]

@FrkHoltegaard Wow! Yeah, even upon re-watching it today I expected no one else to know it. It takes place "in a little farm in Tennessee" according to the opening credits so I figured it was something that was only distributed locally.

[1WanderingDaughter]

XD I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE

[SonofaStitch]

"Boys, I know how you like both toys and girls!"

Heteronormative BULLSHIT.

[lauradoestheastro]

@SonofaStitch But it was Walgreens, not me. BOYCOTT WALGREENS. DEATH TO WALGREENS.

[aquatius5]

@SonofaStitch This comment made me giggle. WITH RAGE.

[casandraonline]

I've never met anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa hmm...

[lauradoestheastro]

@casandraonline Me neither! But now we can sing that song and pretend we're celebrating something.

[evmoneyTV]

Merry Christmas!  wait, I had instructions, didn't I?

[lesliefoundhergrail]

I'm just trying to figure out how you connected cheese balls to Christmas. But you did. And there's that.

Also, I know where everything was filmed in this video.

[covenofhotvampchicks]

I was so amused to find that you can make it snow in the video O.O

[OpheliaDagger]

In Homeward Bound when Sassy has to swim across the river, she says "I have a note" to try and get out of it. For some reason as a kid I thought this was far more scientific and believed it was something Cats had biologically that prevented them from swimming. I asked many an adult about this growing up, pre-google. I still hear my invented definition when I watch it now. Ah, childhood.
