Home Alone is the Christmas movie of the Holidays, but no matter how many times people have watched it, viewers are only just piecing together an integral part of the plot…
Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year…
The holiday season has officially begun, and we couldn’t be merrier.
From stores adorned with Christmas lights, to Starbucks bringing out their Gingerbread Lattes…
Life couldn’t get much better.
The tree…
You simply can’t have Christmas without the tree… I mean where is good old Saint Nick going to put the presents otherwise?
There’s something nostalgic about the warm glow of the lights and the twinkle of the ornaments that brings people together.
And this has been the case for generations!
Then there’s the possibility of snow…
I think we’ve all dreamt of a white Christmas once in our lives, and when we get that fresh blanket of snow on the big day, it’s even more idyllic.
With snow comes Snowmen…
And no matter what age you are, there’s something pretty exciting about going out and building your first Snowman of Christmas.
Holiday vacation…
Whether you’ve got time off from work, or you’re headed home from school for the holidays, there’s nothing better than getting that much-needed time away.
Family…
Christmas is a time to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones, whether that’s friends or family, or even just your neighbors, it’s the best time to come together.
Hot drinks…
Hot chocolate, mulled wine, gingerbread lattes, no matter what your drink of choice is, as long as it’s hot, it encapsulates that cozy Christmas feeling.
Parties…
Love them or hate them, Christmas parties are a huge tradition and the best way to get to know your co-workers and spread the holiday cheer.
Sales…
Everyone loves a bargain, and with Christmas being one of the most expensive times of the year, the Christmas sales are one of the best times to bag one.
Giving presents…
Although receiving presents is definitely top of the list during Christmas, it’s also important to give during this time of year, and remember what the whole holiday is all about.
Ice Skating…
Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor rink, there’s something incredibly Christmassy about skating during the holidays.
Staying in and getting cozy by the fire…
The holiday season is the best excuse to relax and de-stress, and what better way to do that than putting your feet up and watching your favorite show with logs burning in the background?
This brings us to the movies…
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the classic Christmas movies.
We’ve had a whole range of movies that have become household staples this time of year…
Some of the classics include Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch, and Miracle on 34th Street.
The list is endless…
And one of the most popular movies has recently left people baffled.
As they’ve finally realized why Kevin was left alone in Home Alone.
The premise of the movie revolves around Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin) and his attempts to keep thieves out of his parents’ home when he’s accidentally left behind by his family.
However, some viewers have only just realized why he was left home alone, decades after the movie came out.
Well, the reason why is the night before the family vacation, a power outage causes the clocks to go haywire, so in the family’s rush to the airport, they accidentally include their neighbor’s kid in their headcount.
And the reason they didn’t realize when they got to the airport is that the night before, milk gets spilled on Kevin’s flight ticket during dinner, and the dad accidentally throws it away.
Fans on Twitter have been left shocked by the revelation.
One user wrote: “Okay this is crazy lol and I’m sure people have found this Easter egg many times, but for me I just realized that in Home Alone, Kevin’s dad accidentally threw away Kevin’s plane ticket.
“Which explains how they didn’t realize anyone was missing handing out tickets at the gate.”
“I’ve seen Home Alone – 25 times and it wasn’t until the most recent time I realized the dad threw away a plane ticket when cleaning up spilled milk at the beginning. That’s why they never had an extra ticket,” another commented.
While a third said: “I just noticed on home alone when they were eating pizza and Kevin started the fight with his brother, the dad threw Kevin’s plane ticket away. I’m slow never noticed that.”
Did you ever notice?
