My Favorite
Christmas Classics |
Usually around mid November, I begin to get excited for the Christmas season. As Thanksgiving Day draws to a close, the Christmas season officially begins and out come my favorite books and DVDs. It's all a part of my holiday tradition and the selections below never fail to get me in the Christmas spirit! Let's see if you recognize any of these.
 MOVIES |
My Thanksgiving evening tradition. It certainly sets the mood for the season. |
George Bailey gets a second chance. |
I have several adaptations of this wonderful story. This is my very favorite! |
Another favorite for it's silliness, yet touching rendition. |
A Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye classic that is timeless! |
Such outstanding computer animation! Magical! |
A classic that makes you believe in the fat, jolly elf. |
You just can't beat this for a holiday gone wrong! |
| BOOKS |
I don't think I could go through a season without reading this book! |
A less gritty Sherlock Holmes story with a happy ending. And no one gets hurt! |
A favorite Miss Read book from her Fairacre series. The first book of hers I ever read. |
Touching Christmas adentures from Laura Ingalls Wilder and her Little House series. |
| Favorite TV episodes |
Some of my very favorite stories are from a TV series long cancelled or a DVD series. These are ones that I love to watch over and over. The list is short right now, but more will come to mind, I'm sure
Poirot
Hercule Poirot's Christmas
Series 6
My favorite detective takes a case over Christmas simply because the heat in his apartment has gone out and won't be fixed until after the holiday. The case takes him to a mansion (with heat!) and, of course, a murder is committed that he must solve. There is some very humerous moments between him and Chief Inspector Japp.
M*A*S*H*
Death Takes A Holiday
Series 9
A beautiful, poignant episode involving two story lines. The first has Hawkeye, Margaret and B.J. attempting to keep a mortally wounded soldier alive until after Christmas so that his family won't have to remember Christmas Day in that way. The second show a human, warm side of Major Winchester. One of my favorite episodes of all time.
