Tv and the holiday season where you live...  

Hi Hatley.

I do still love each of those shows. I'm glad they still play each year. Things change so much in the blink of an eye, don't they? I can only imagine how much you look forward to the time you can be with your son in a family home again. I'm happy that he comes to see you.

The duffers don't know what they're missing if they don't watch those great shows. And yes, I forgot to add the Nut Cracker Suite and some others, too.

Hi Froggies

Isn't is great to have these on DVD? I love that you and your family have those special weekends set apart to do such things. I miss that about my kids being young and at home. Aww, your kids will be sure to love The Christmas Story. I left out so many of the other good ones, too.

Enjoy!

Karen

There are a lot of good Christmas movies and it can really be fun to watch some of them every year. After all the busy Christmas activities, it can really be relaxing to watch some of the movies. Certainly it helps to keep the holiday stress under control.

Hi Djb

What excellent points! They are a very good way to relax and to let the stress melt away. They usually warm the heart :)

Karen

I sure hope they do because I have liked it since I was a kid and i know it is nice to build those traditions and I am hoping that that can make one of there memories....

I am sure you will, dear froggie :))

Hi Yvon :)

It is an awfully busy time of year, I know. So even if you don't get to watch TV, the other things are also fun and part of what goes with making it holiday time.

Take care.

Hi Dolly

Well I've heard they even have some Christmas horror movies lol. There's something holiday related, it seems, for every taste :D

Karen

well i can't wait to get to watch the latest ones.thanks 4 the info.

You're welcome :)

Hello Mimpi :)

You're right, many of the traditional shows turn to things festival related in each country at certain times of the year. As in your country, right now many of the morning shows and talk shows and even the news casts turn to all things holiday...the foods and events and ways to participate and decorate. It's fun to learn new things this way. Isn't cooking with moms delightful?

Karen

Hello again :))

How wonderful to have that link! Then I can watch some of my favorites if they don't happen to appear on TV or if two good ones are on at the same time. I love Nestor!

Thank you again.

Karen

You are welcome, Peaceful. Have a Merry Christmas!

You, too :))

Hi Gabs.

The holidays definitely do change from when we were children. The movies are a great way to float back in time for a while and forget present day pressures :)

Karen

Hi wolfie, I forgot all about Home Alone. I like the first one best. I laugh so much when I watch that. I hope it is on TV this year and I get to watch it. Peace my friend and have a Mderry Christmas.

We have it on DVD just in case! Have a wonderful Christmas/holiday my dear friend x

Hi Wolfie.

You know, funny that you should mention that movie. It used to be on traditionally at Christmas time when I was a child, and it mesmorized me! It's not on at Christmas time any more, but I have the video :))

And oh yes, the Home Alone movies are totally hilarious! I just love certain standard things about the holidays and those two have become just that :))

Karen

Wow! I haven't seen Charlie Brown for years. I liked Linus the one who had his comfort blanket, reminds me of ME! LOL And that cute little yellow bird. Woodstock? Just testing my memory powers here.

Good memory wolfie my friend. Don't forget the prude Lucy with her nose in the air trying her best to get the attention of the piano boy Schroeder!

Oh, me, too!! I love the piano music and the little woe-begone tree lol. I used to draw those charaters all the time, too. There's just something about them :))

Merry Christmas to you, too Muscles :)

Karen

Ohhh, and little Pigpen, with his perpetual cloud of dust following him around.

Karen

Yes good old pigpen! And lets not forget peppermint patty the tomboy that called Charlie Brown CHUCK!.....and of course the voice f the teacher we never saw, only heard.

LOL, and Sally?? I love them all, and the voice of that teacher was hilarious.

Now Jo, I can't quite see you as Scrooge lol. I don't watch a lot of TV either, but I do make certain exceptions ; ) Spirit comes in many forms, and frankly, for a lot of people the gifts, food, and family are the best parts of the holidays, so I'd say in that respect, you participate wonderfully well.

Karen

Thanks for the kind words. The friend i was telling u about that calls me that is years older than i am, a widow & she gets out & puts lights on the outside of her house & does all kind of decorating on the inside. I admire her for doing so but i tease her every year when the holidays are over & she has to take it all down etc.I tell her now see if u were scrooge like me u wouldn't have all that to do.

Well, I admire her ability to do that! I know I couldn't do the outside any justice, unless you count wreaths on the doors. But yup, soon enough, it all has to be taken down and stored away again. I've paired back considerably since I'm on my own now, but still do my small tree, the wreathes, and few other odds and ends. And I have to have my carols and movies!

Karen

I admire both of u for keeping the spirit. Have a good night.

Thank you, my friend, you too :))
