Love this movie. Reminds me of Christmas back home.. no my parents did not make a habit of forgetting me at vacation time. I just watched it a lot over the years.. thing is I was 3 when this movie came out, Danish TV seemed to be very found of it so they send it every year since. And since it is a fun movie I have watched it often. Macaulay Culkin was very cute back then.. And the pranks always makes me smile.. Also there's morals in this movie (don't steal cause a kid will ruin your day) about Christmas being the time for family and forgiving each other, but also about being good to other people except for robbers though you can be "mean" to them ;) I do realize that most Christmas movies is about this. But that doesn't make it a bad one does it.
