Getting into the spirit

Today I received my first Christmas card of the year; and at the office, the Christmas lights were put up. I did my part too: I ran up Xsnow on my desktop. (Mac and Windows users: don't feel deprived, you can have snow too.)

Oh yes, I'm getting into the spirit. I'm spreading the word: 'tis the season. Christmas is coming.

Quickie review: it's okay.

A compelling enough story about the triumph of the little (or in this case, big) guy against all the odds. Some neat moments too - like showing the reaction of radio listeners rather than the key race itself. But all in all, it's only average. Fine fare, but nothing to go out of your way for.

(On the other hand, it got me all excited about horse-racing. Almost makes me wonder what Cheltenham's like for the three hundred and fifty days we're not there.)
