No, it didn't take long for the film Elf to become a holiday classic. I've come to love it. There's something about seeing innocence and truth clash with the harsh realities of a broken world that reminds us of what's most important in life, and can even serve to remind us of the hope that is ours because of Christmas. Just as Buddy the Elf comes from another "world" and bursts in to the brokenness to upset the spiraling down of the status quo, so too has God sent His Son to undo the mess that we have done...

YOUTH CULTURE HOT QUOTE
_________________________________________________
"It's like giving the keys to the car, only they're much younger. And unlike a car, which you can drive to any part of town, on the Internet, a cellphone can really take you anywhere. So you have to hope that from the moment they can log on that you've done enough to raise them well so they're not looking for the wrong thing in the wrong places."
- Director Jason Reitman, speaking about parenting in an era of the Internet and social media, LNP, October 19, 2014.
