Romancemas Day 6: The Family Stone

For the sixth day of Romancemas, we’re bringing the drama.

It’s late 2005. Rachel McAdams is Hollywood’s next It Girl and Sex and the City just completed its final season. Everyone is still quoting Wedding Crashers and every teenager in the United States is refusing to speak at dinner until they get a cell phone. No one knows what YouTube is yet and everyone is mad at George W. Bush. This is the world of The Family Stone, a forgotten Christmas gem and liberal rallying cry that deserves a second look.
