Fun Fact: Love Actually's Christmas Angel
00:01:02
Speaker
Now for our fun fact of the day. Did you know that in the movie Love Actually, Rowan Atkinson's character, you know, the world's slowest gift wrapper, was originally meant to be a Christmas angel?
00:01:15
Speaker
For those who need a refresher, he played Rufus, the meticulous jewelry salesperson who elaborately gift wraps the heart-shaped necklace that Alan Rickman's character, Harry, buys for his secretary while shopping with his unsuspecting wife.
00:01:31
Speaker
And also remember, Rufus mysteriously reappears at the airport, helping young Sam slip past security to confess his love to Joanna before she flies away.
00:01:42
Speaker
Those weren't just coincidences. The director initially planned for Rufus to be an angel who intervenes in people's lives. They never fully committed to the angel thing, but once you know, you can't unsee it.
This or That: Christmas Preferences
00:01:55
Speaker
Alright, let's jump into a quick round of this or that based on today's theme.
00:02:02
Speaker
This or that? This is from the movie The Holiday. For Christmas, would you rather stay in a charming cottage in England or a mansion in l LA? Oh, goodness. I think a charming cottage in England sounds really nice.
00:02:18
Speaker
I agree. I'd have to go with that It just sounds so cozy and like. feel like it would be more festive. Yeah. and Yeah. The charming cottage. Maybe Jude Law knocks on my door. but like I'm there with my husband. So I'm like, get away. you got the fire going. You're making hot chocolate. Yeah. And then you walk down to the cozy pub and the dog, the dog was cute. Well, yeah, actually that just made it better. a Charming cottage in England with a dog.
00:02:45
Speaker
Okay, this or that. Would you rather try Judy's hot chocolate from the Santa Claus or Buddy's breakfast, which consists of spaghetti, maple syrup, marshmallows, and candy from Elf?
00:02:59
Speaker
ah As intriguing as Elf's breakfast sounds, as Buddy's breakfast sounds, I think I'd have to go with Judy's hot chocolate. I want to know what that tastes like. Me too.
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know why Buddy thought spaghetti should be part of that. Everything else sounds good, but because of the spaghetti. So if it was just marshmallows, maple syrup, and candy, you would go for it? On top of something, something that's not like spaghetti, but I don't know what.
