    I don\u2019t have many Christmas or Hanukkah traditions (beyond getting manically into holiday decor, melting a candy cane into my coffee while I wrap presents, and listening to Kacey Musgraves\u2019s A Very Kacey Christmas<\/em> album, that is), but one favorite activity involves going over to my best friend\u2019s house for our annual Yuletide sleepover, changing into my plaid flannel Lanz nightgown, and firing up The Family Stone<\/em>. Even though we rewatch the Thomas Bezucha-directed film quite literally every year, it somehow never gets old\u2014so you can imagine my delight when I learned that we could soon be getting a sequel.<\/p>\n

    Granted, it\u2019s somewhat heartrending to imagine the cast of The Family Stone<\/em> reuniting without onscreen matriarch Diane Keaton, who died in October at the age of 79 and whose character Sybil\u2019s death forms the emotional climax of the film. Clearly, Bezucha felt no different, telling CNN this week: \u201cI\u2019ve been haunted by the loss of Sybil for months now while I worked on [the sequel] so this was a blow on a tender bruise already. Mentally, I\u2019ve been spending time in that house where I\u2019ve been missing her for a while already.\u201d<\/p>\n

    According to Bezucha, the rest of the original cast of The<\/em>Family Stone<\/em> was enthusiastic about reuniting, which is a relief (I certainly don\u2019t want Sarah Jessica Parker to reprise her role as the worst girlfriend-in-law of all time unless she actually wants to!). The sequel hasn\u2019t been greenlit yet\u2014maybe some executives at 20th Century Fox need to be visited by three ghosts, each bearing a message about the past, present, and future?\u2014but I, for one, am moving the speedy release of this sequel to the very top of my Chrismukkah list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
