What's the farthest you've ever traveled for the holidays? Were you wearing a Santa suit and beard? This week we're kicking off our holiday season by exploring all road trip possibilities with I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998). Jake is an exceptionally selfish college student who dreams only of beaches, swindling fellow students, and his way-too-nice girlfriend Allie. When his dad offers to give him the family Porsche if he comes home for Christmas, Jake is eager to take him up on the offer until he's sabotaged by a group of college bullies. Forced to wear a Santa suit and trek his way from California to New York by foot, car, bus, plane, and dog crate in a variety of wild situations, he slowly begins to understand the true meaning of the holidays. So did this movie make us want to risk life and limb to celebrate Christmas at home? Or were we wholly unimpressed with our hero's efforts? Let’s find out together!
