At this time of year I think of the traditions that my family has and I can't help but wonder when they started or where they came from. Tonight my family and I are going to watch the classic film, "Trapped In Paradise". We've watched this film every year, for as long as I can remember. Am sure it's been at least since it was released on VHS. Of course we had to jump on the new technology of the DVD once it was available. However, as most of the family became parents they became a bit more sensitive as to what language was used in the films their children were watching. And because this film uses a few choice words, our tradition was threatened. But the Larsen Family overcame as Thomas purchased a ClearPlay DVD player. You download software specific for that film and when you play the DVD on that player, it will edit the not so niceties of the film, making it a family friendly film. And this evening, our family is going to continue this fantastic tradition. We'll gather around a television, eat the not-so-healthy for you foods that are typical this time of year and enjoy an evening together, before yet another evening together on Christmas Eve. As for that tradition, we'll leave that for an other blog posting some other time.
