Not quite Christmas, but Christmas adjacent
Had to share this..
Planes Trains and Automobiles is one of my all time favorite holiday classics.
Steve Martin and John Candy are hilarious as two men trying to get home for the holidays. What happens next is classic comedy and slowly evolves into a real heartfelt story.
Seeing this tribute from John’s son made me smile.
