The Culkin Brothers: Macaulay Culkin became a sensation in the 1990's for his portrayal of Kevin McCallister in the Home Alone movies. His brothers Kieran and Rory are also actors, and they feature in some of my favourite productions from that era.

Home Alone, directed by Chris Columbus, 1990

A movie I love to watch every Christmas vacation and never get tired of. With Macaulay Culkin as the lead, but also Kieran Culkin as Kevin's bed-wetting cousin Fuller. Also starring beloved Canadian comedians Catherine O'Hara and the late John Candy. Wonderful soundtrack by John Williams.

The Mighty, directed by Peter Chelsom, 1998 Based on the novel Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick, this underrated gem is funny, uplifting and heart-breaking all at once. Kieran Culkin plays a gifted teenage boy suffering from Morquio syndrome. He befriends a strong yet learning disabled boy who becomes his legs while he becomes his brain. Another movie I love to watch around Christmas since an important part of the story is set at that time of year. Hilarious performance by Gillian Anderson as "the Queen of Saxony". Set in Cincinnati but filmed in Toronto. Amazing Celtic-tinged score by Trevor Jones.

Signs, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, 2002 I include this film even though it was released in 2002. It is close enough to the 90's and the story was conceived in a pre-9/11 context. The technologies used by the characters are still those of the 90's (VHS tapes, cathodic televisions, baby monitors) and the fashion as well (Rory Culkin's character rocks the denim overalls and plaid shirts like a pro). This movie is dear to me because of its raw depiction of a man's faith struggle and its effects on his family. But it also offers a wonderful message about God's sovereignty.

He didn't remember hugs.

Now, passionate embraces in the heat of the night—those Astarion had plenty of. Touches and squeezes during the flirty banter, limbs intertwined under the table, hands casually teasing the private parts in a promise to do more once they get to the room, or on the way there.

Any and all physical contact that people made during sex, Astarion had everything.

Hugs were different.

He saw them sometimes, from the corner of his eye. Rarely, since he wasn't frequenting the establishments that promoted this sort of pure interactions amongst its visitors. Sometimes he scoffed and laughed at fools cuddling together amidst the bodies rolling in the drunken swill. Jeered at them for being much too softhearted for being regulars of such sordid places.

Envied—though he was hardly comfortable putting the idea into thoughts.

It didn't stop him from wondering how that felt all the same.

Tav's hot hands cradled his back, lightly patting and stroking it. Her sigh ruffled his hair, tickling his skin, as Astarion froze, not moving, nothing in his head.

Tav chuckled and squeezed him closer, lightly rocking from side to side.

Astarion hesitated, but ultimately gave in, hugging her back.

It felt…nice.

Warm.

Not completely comfortable, since he was standing on his knees to bring himself to the same height, but Astarion strangely found this mild inconvenience reassuring, because otherwise it would've been much too perfect for him to bear the feeling. Having at least a teaspoon of nuisance in this honeypot made it easier to swallow. He still had the difficulty swallowing it, as they lumped together into a swollen knot. His hands shook—indiscernibly so, but Astarion was aware of the most minuscule tremors in his own body.

A part of him wanted to turn this into something more sensual, sexual, simple. Safe and known. If not that, than at least into a joke, to diffuse the suddenly heavy atmosphere.

He tried to, but couldn't speak properly through a lump in his throat.

He hugged Tav closer, breathing in her scent, and warmth, and life.

"Nice, isn't it?" she chuckled, patting his back.

Her cheek pressed against his ear, soft and squishy, perfectly biteable. Yet he ignored the itch in his teeth, and hugged her closer still, a sudden shudder running through his body—why, he couldn't tell.

"Good," Astarion agreed, his voice muffled and quiet, barely audible.

He had to wonder no more.

He didn't remember hugs.

He wanted to remember this.

Mighty is one of the best internet names I ever had.

I like it so much.

Everyone else hates it but I love it.

#mai? whao creative arent we.. #Mighty? like the freaking armadillo??? YEAHHHH. #i guess its bc its not obviously feminine #mai is so cute and girlyyyy. okay. #mighty doesn't bring all that girly baggage #but still sounds cute and soft. but the meaning is completely different so it balances it out. #also thst it literally has “mai” inside the word. lol #q

Books I have been a bookworm as far as I can remember. I even had my books confiscated as a punishment once and often got scolded for reading in the dark as a child. For me, the nineties were associated with discovering wonderful classics such as Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden and Lucy Maud Montgomery's Emily of New Moon. But three novels published in the nineties also delighted me, and I have read them many times since. I discovered them through the Scholastic catalogue distributed in my English class in high school.

The Moorchild by Eloise McGraw, 1996

Set in medieval Europe, The Moorchild tells the story of a changeling girl named Saaski, born of a human father and a fairy mother. Unable to fit in with the Fae, she is sent to live with a human family, replacing a human baby snatched away to the moor by the fairies. Saaski is odd and cannot fit in with humans either. We see her struggle to make sense of her existence and please her human parents. She eventually finds redemption by returning the stolen child to her adoptive family and choosing a new life with a friend who appreciates her, an orphan goat herder named Tam.

Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick, 1993

I read this novel in the early 2000's after seeing Peter Chelsom's 1998 film adaptation of Philbrick's book. Freak the Mighty tells the moving story of Max Kane, a giant teenager with learning disabilities living in his grandparents' basement, the "down under". Max is quiet and introverted, unable to cope with witnessing his mother's tragic death at the hands of his father Kenny Kane who is in prison. His life changes for the better when he meets Kevin, a short boy born with Morquio syndrome whose prodigious intelligence makes up for his physical disability. Perched "high above the world" on Max's shoulders, Kevin takes his big friend on quests, proposing a partnership in which Kevin becomes Max's brain and Max becomes Kevin's legs. Together, they are Freak the Mighty.

What Child is This? by Caroline B. Cooney, 1997

Cooney’s Christmas tale What Child is This? is a heartwarming yet thought-provoking take at how foster children experience the holidays. Here, we meet a foster child named Katie who believes she will get a family for Christmas when she takes part in a program for disadvantaged children who receive a present from generous strangers.

It is a short yet powerful novel I read every Christmas vacation.
