The one thing she has always said to me is that she is grateful that I told her about the immaculate conception before she saw TPM. In my own twisted fashion, I kind of wish that I hadn't told her. It would have been fun to see her reaction once that popped up on screen. LOL!
I wonder how many friendships the Holiday Special has destroyed?
I for one actually enjoyed it...in the perverse way one can enjoy corny television. Wasn't great, but provided plenty of laughs, since I went in wanting very little out of it. Definitely a holiday tradition from now on, putting in my bootleg DVD of the special, and translating what the wookies are saying, and making fun of the whole thing. The key to it is keeping good humor while watching it.
