Christmas Movies and Songs

 Here it is Christmas Eve and we're all getting ready for the big day tomorrow and I'm sitting here enjoying some wonderful Christmas movies.  I absolutely love the channel TCM because it always has some great "old" movies on that I use to enjoy with my Mother.  She loved movie stars and there was always those old magazines laying around like Photoplay and such.  Till this day I can name a host of old stars cut I can't remember what I ate last week.  LOL  So I got to thinking of Christmas movies and the ones I love the most.  Here's my list and see how it compares to yours.

1.  White Christmas

2.  It Happened on 5th Avenue

3.It's a Wonderful Life

4. Love Actually

5. The Nightmare Before Christmas

6.  Meet Me in St. Louis

7.  The Bishops Wife (1947)

8.  While You Were Sleeping

9.  Shop Around the Corner (1940)  

10.  A Christmas Carol (1984)

I think my list has some of the newer ones like Love Actually but my favorites are the old black and white movies.  This is something my hubby and I do not agree on.  He hates black and white movies and says I was born in the wrong decade.  Maybe so.....who knows.

 As I type this is 56 degrees outside and I think that's about as cold as it will get.  I envy the ones who get to have snow on Christmas.  

As far as carols go I love the old ones we sing in  church that sing about the Glory of God.  Although I found out something the other day and that's that Mike Rowe of the show Dirty Jobs can sing opera and has a marvelous voice.  He and John Rich wrote a song about Santa having a dirty job.  If you haven't heard it, here ya go.

I'd love to know your favorite Christmas movie and why.  Everyone have a glorious Christmas Eve and enjoy your day tomorrow with family and friends but please don't forget the reason for the season.

Blessings on All,

Barbara

The Holidays

I know I haven't been on here in quite some time but I thought the Holiday Season would be a good time to let you know what's been going on in my life.

I had the breast surgery  and I've had no problems whatsoever.  No pain nothing.  She did tell me to take a pain pill when I got home but I really didn't need it.  The one bad thing was is that I had to wear this special bra for 7 days and that was a killer.  It made me feel like my boobs were up in my throat. LOL

My darling husband bought me a new car for Christmas.  It's a 2022 Kia Seltos which is their small suv.  We were over at John and Peyton's for Thanksgiving and I bought it the day after Thanksgiving.  I'm not good on long distance driving so John drove it home for us.  I was giving them my Kia Soul so he just drove that back home.  The bad news is that the following week I was stopped at a red light and some 19 year old kid hit me in the back.  You cannot believe how angry I was.   So now it has an accident report attached to it.  Luckily he did have insurance and they are paying for repairs.  It just seems to me that in this day and age no one respects any one elses property.

We won't be celebrating Christmas with the kids next week because John (who wasn't vaccinated) brought covid home to the family.  So our Christmas has been moved up to New Year's which is fine with us.

I hope all of you have the Merriest of Christmas's and a very safe and Happy New Year.

All My Blessings for the upcoming year....
