The Fitzgerald Family Christmas

At this time of the year I love to watch Christmas films.  To be honest there isn't a great selection on Netflix but I did find this one.

It's "The Fitzgerald Family Christmas" starring Ed Burns and Connie Britton (love her!)


'Tis a tad schmaltzy, sentimental and very "oirish" but actually a very bittersweet movie with lots of different stories running alongside each other.  

Knowing lots of big Irish families (my mam was one of 13 brothers and sisters!) and having 4 sisters myself, I think this film is very authentic and very familiar (sometimes uncomfortably so).  It's a very watchable movie and if you have Netflix you should download it - I thought it was perfect for a Sunday evening.

If you watch it let me know what you think!
