~Christmas books, Christmas movies~
#1
what do you love? what would Christmas NOT be without? so many books and movies, but i could not fathom Christmas without Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'...all the movies and of course the book. the ultimate ghost story but it embodies what we mostly aspire to in the season. redemption.
the picture here on the sideboard is my first edition that i treasured for years, but my brother does too so i gave it to him a couple Christmases ago. i hope generations in our family will revere it.

i hope you'll post your favorite stories and movies~ Mini xmas tree

I've watched that & the Grinch every year of my life. 50

My favorite holiday movie is A Christmas Carol. I like all versions of it but the very old ones are my favorite.

I like Patrick Stewart's 'A Christmas Carol'.

Kudos to 'The Grinch' with Jim Carrey.

Just watched 'A Wonderful Life' a few days ago. Great, great movie.

I've already watched 'Christmas Vacation' twice this season.

Watched 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' with the little ones on Saturday. Claymation, very good.

My new favorite for the season is 'Polar Express'. Love it.

This is what I was really trying to say about this classic ^^^^^^^^^, when I found myself almost sobbing watching it from start to finish last week (I believe those with a family will find it particularly poignant):

If I ever see you say something like that again in here I'll give you something to sob about, buster.
