Mark Twain "If it is a miracle, any sort of evidence will answer. but if it is a fact, proof is necessary."
Friday the 13th, you say?
No superstition going on here. We're just kicking off our Christmas movie marathon, and what better movie to start with than "A Christmas Carol"... the one with George C. Scott of course!
I have a ridiculous number of Christmas movies that I've recorded on DVR, but most all of them are those Hallmark and Lifetime channel movies that Damon won't dare watch, but I've been watching them here and there without him. Damon is under the impression that those channels are where has-been actors go to die, and considering who I've seen in some of these movies, he's not too far off!
Damon and I have our favorite classic Christmas movies that we watch every year, they may not be "classics" to you but they're our tradition!
Others on the list include, my personal favorite, "It's a Wonderful Life", which most people say is 2 hours of sadness and 5 minutes of happiness, but I don't care! That movie really is life, how many of us truly get a lifetime of happiness and only a few minutes of sadness? We all have disappointments, things don't always go right, but then we have those moments that are worth a lifetime of sadness. George Bailey truly was the richest man in town, not because he had a lot of money or lived in the nicest house but because he had family and friends, people who loved him and people who would come to his aid in his darkest hour. It's things like that that make a wonderful life so I'm perfectly content to watch two hours of this poor mans life and watch seemingly every single thing go wrong, just to see such a wonderful and happy ending!
I'm rambling so I'll stop now... Next, we have other classics like the original "Miracle on 34th Street" that we watch every year, as well as the fun Christmas movies like "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", "Scrooged", and "The Santa Clause".
Anyway, hopefully everyone has their own favorite Christmas movies and traditions that you get to enjoy with your family and friends each year!
Good night all!
Just for fun:
Bought only $12.00 worth of food and household items, but after coupons and sales: Spent only $7.00 out of pocket.
