Sticking with the callcard theme Today.
Love Actually was released in November 2003. Mean the kids who were born when it came out are now can vote, drink, etc.
I remember when it came out my siblings went to see it just a few days before Christmas and I was at home all excited about Santa and doing some decorating.

The reason we associate poinsettias with the Christmas comes from an old Mexican legend. A girl named Pepita was sad that she didn’t have a gift to leave for the baby Jesus. Her cousin tried to comfort her and said that Jesus would love any present. With no money to buy a real gift, Pepita picked a bouquet of weeds that she walked past on the way to church. When she got there, she left the weeds at the bottom of the nativity scene. All of a sudden, the weeds transformed into beautiful red flowers.
