Christmas Movies

Everyone has gone to bed and I'm enjoying a little down time and stitching. I decided to watch a Christmas movie.

I just finished watching one of my favorite movies. It's an old, little known film---at least no one I know has ever heard of it. I haven't seen it in about 30 or 40 years---maybe even 50. I saw it for the first time when I was in grade school. I was probably 10 or 11. It has stuck with me. I just cried all the way through it again.

All Mine to Give is a true story about a husband and wife from Scotland that have immigrated to the U.S. (Wisconsin) in the mid 1800's. They eventually have 6 children---3 girls, 3 boys. That's all I'm going to say. It's quite a tear jerker. I love those kinds of movies that touch me deeply. Turns out they titled it The Day They Gave Babies Away in the U.K.

Of course, I have a few other personal favorites: It's a Wonderful Life

 I tried to watch that this year, but there were commercials and that ruined it for me.

Miracle on 34th Street

 A Muppet Christmas Carol

This is my most favorite version of A Christmas Carol---and it's not just for kids. Michael Caine is an added bonus!

A Christmas Story

I've seen the stage production more times than I've seen the movie.

In fact, I just took the family today. I just love it---it ranks in my top ten favorite plays!
Of course, I had to buy this:

I just realized that's Five things---and it isn't even Thursday.  Just keep your eyes and ears open for All Mine to Give. So, so good.

Here's hoping that you can take a little time and enjoy a Christmas movie.
