bliss

And for those of us who watch compulsively and wouldn’t know a dossier from a dog pound, ignorance is bliss.

For a film that’s ostensibly about the picture-perfect joys of a family Christmas, this looks more like holiday bedlam than bliss.

I do remember collapsing onto my bed as soon as the last guest left, and eating the leftovers in a kind of stunned bliss for the next week.

The secretly shared videotape was so satisfying that people literally died watching it, so frozen in their bliss that they forgot about their own human needs.

And the point of the marriage, in any case, isn’t family bliss but citizenship.
