Not even one? That’s kind of sad - I can’t listen to it 24-7 but it’s a nice banger up in between all the other shorty music out there

 
Today started okay but then promptly tanked due to that Christmas shoes song (MOMMA'LL LOOK BEAUTIFUL FOR JESUS TONIGHT) or whatever schmaltz it is.  BUT THEM WHAM PLAYED AND I WAS LIKE, "YES. I WILL SING ALONG LOUDLY IN MY CAR.  PLEASE SING ALONG WIT ME CAR THAT IS ALSO STUCK IN TRAFFIC.  WE ARE SIMPLY HAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME."

 
Also, my family congratulated me passing my PE exam by getting me a "Jurassic Park"-themed Advent calendar.  
On a related note, last year at the local fair in our area, we took one of those scenic helicopter rides. Upon return as we were landing, I recorded it with my phone. Later that evening, naturally I laced the video with the original JP theme song when they were landing on the island w/ Dr. Grant.  :bag:

This is the best thing ever.  Jurassic Park is like a huge running joke to my family with the following (truncated) history:

1.  My dad took us to see it in the movie theaters when it first came out; I was five.  My mom was not impressed when he said he "took us to the dinosaur movie".

2.  We once went on the Jurassic Park flume ride at Universal Studios eight times in a row.  My siblings and I were all over the age of 20.

3.  Jurassic Park is watched every Christmas while opening presents.  My mother is not amused to this day.

4.  Upon traveling to Hawaii, my family SPECIFICALLY found where/what island they filmed Jurassic Park at and took multiple photos.  This included where the raptor eggs were.  This is still one of the main things they talk about when people ask what they liked about Hawaii.

 
that's an awesome connection with your dad!

the first one is great and the rest were all very meh (my 15 year old loves JP to an unusual level)

 
There is actually way more to some of these stories, specifically the Hawaii one, due to my brother having autism and OBSESSING over this movie for some reason, but I didn't feel like going too deep into it in case people thought it was weird/boring.

All EB needs to know is that there is a 7-foot tall cut out of the t-rex from the movie and it has visited numerous family members as a joke.  The cutout isn't as well traveled as the blow-up leprechaun outfit, but it has moved around more than the giant giraffe.  💁‍♀️
