I really enjoyed Prep and Landing. Looking forward to Naughty Vs. Nice.

The Prep and Landing screening at the last Expo didn't really catch my attention (too much to do!) but I caught it later on TV and thought it was great. Creative, funny, and just enough emotional resonance. Our family plans to make it a holiday staple. I'm surprised they're making a sequel so quickly but based on the original, I look forward to it as well.
