TODAY IS: The 11th day of National Stress-Free Holidays Month, apparently a creation of someone with no family, though ostensibly it serves as a reminder to parents not to let the demands of the outside world at this time of year reduce the quality time they spend with their kids. The 1995 dramedy HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is a barely exaggerated depiction of the typical Thanksgiving celebration of the typical dysfunctional family, starring Holly Hunter as an eldest daughter who tries to keep herself together during one typically stressful family gathering.
