(Harvey’s Movie Night: I’ll Be Home for Christmas [Windermere])
[Thu Dec 25 2025]
in the Windermere Student Union Study Hall
44Positioned just beyond the uniform shop, the student study hall is meant to offer a focused, 42low-distraction environment for individual and small group work. Charcoal acoustic panels soften ambient sound, while linear LED fixtures provide glare-free lighting. Furniture is minimal and intentional: walnut desks with integrated power access, matte black task chairs, and a lounge seating zone along the northern wall featuring low-profile couches and club chairs in black, grey, and navy upholstery.
44 A locked walnut door on the southern wall leads to 42the teachers’ lounge, reserved for faculty use or the curious student. To the southwest, a wide stone arch opens into the cafeteria, offering a subtle transition from quiet concentration to communal energy.
It is night, about 60F(15C) degrees, and there are clear skies. Ankle high mist flows through the area. The mist is heaviest At Thornberry and Franklin
There is a first quarter moon.
Serenity is mainly eyes on Teagan the whole of her approach until she’s seated, follows suit slowly on the opposite side of the same one. She brings out a mason jar from her jacket and draws herself to peer at Harvey. She’s about to say something but then turns to look over a shoulder. “Yeh kneow Oy was abeout teh ask what th meuvie is boot then Oy got thess faeelin Oy sheould be getten raedy teh guide people en through teh mest.”
“The mists in the quarter are perfectly safe.” Harvey says confidently. “Tonights movie is I’ll be home for Christmas.” and with that he flicks it on and the projector begins to play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHtsFoqRyh0&t=7s and he then dims the lights and gets himself a hot cocoa before sitting near the ladies on the couch with a ho hum hrump and some more old man noises. He smells of deviled eggs!
Unlike modern movies this classic plays the credits in the beginning! Harvey just watches the cheeky music and little bouncing dots with christmas hats go to work presenting all the names no one remembers or knows.
A long sip of cocoa and Teagan settles back, focused perhaps more on her snacks than the movie. She does glance up to the screen and comment “He’s cute” of the main character!
Indeed this middle school looking child appears to be in high school or college and just jumped into an underaged girls bed. Unless they are supposed to be 21. It is completely unknowable. Harvey makes a harump sound, “Can you imagine if boys walked into girls dorms like this. How rude!”
“Wouldn’t know. Our dorms are co-ed here,” Teagan says absently.
Serenity can’t help but laugh a little at Harvey’s comment. She crosses her legs and settles in more against her armrest, pointing to the screen. “Some koynd a eunevaersety quad, looks loyke, aye.”
Indeed this appears to be a college setting but in one of the few times in Hollywood history, the characters look TO YOUNG but Harvey says in a dramatic new england accent “This twelve year old must have been a genius scholarship! Look how small and babyfaced he is.”
Harvey says “This movie is literally Van Wilder’s college movie!“
“So he gets to finish the hot rod in this, but never did in Home Improvement,” Teagan murmurs. “What a shame.”
This father now bribes his babyfaced son with a porsche just to get him to come home teaching him extortion and behaving like a little shit is a way to get ahead in the world. Harvey makes a disapproving harump sound.
After a sip of her mocha Serenity dips her head. “Mmm, royght thaer, Calafarnya. That koynda explains a lot.”
Serenity smirks and points at the screen again, peering past Harvey to tell Teagan, “Get the royght goy, an that messulteow theng works paerfectly.”
“I remember when I had my first kiss under the mistle toe it was with my High school maths teacher Miss Kylie.” Harvey whimsically sighs and says, “Rest her soul she died twenty years ago.”
“I have no idea what you just said,” Teagan says simply to Serenity before looking up to the screen. “So did they just… basically murder him? By abandoning him in the desert?” There is a blink to Harvey. “Scandalous.”
Harvey watches a strong independent woman who puts up with a manchild boyfriend now put a different manchild in his place. If only she did not have to get in this creepy guys car and uber existed.
“He told them he didn’t feel well,” Teagan points out, tsking. “Old people can be so cruel.”
After a group of seemingly nice old ladies help him Harvey watches them throw him out on the side of the road. Truly it is the elderly abusing the young we must watch out for and not elder abuse.
Harvey says “This young man has no , as the kids say, rizz.“
“I kind of miss how cartoonish the bullies were in movies,” Teagan says from breaking off pieces of her chocolate bar. “Now they all have to be like.. relatable. Which makes it weird.”
After committing his 10th or 12th vehicular manslaughter the fool is probably our main characters only hope. The female lead is showing how nerdy they are endearing themselves to the audience by making her relatable. Harvey shakes his head as the main antagonist asks why people do not like his sleezy self.
Serenity actually sang along a little bit. “Dotceh Jyones, Docteh Jyones, wake oop neow!”
Harvey says “Eddie is a very common bully name, I think.“
Teagan frowns at her phone and shifts to her feet. “Going to go deal with this.”
