My favorite two Christmas movies I still have yet to watch because we have been so busy, but I am making it a point to talk about "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "White Christmas" in my class this year. I love "White Christmas" sooooo much. Every song is good, catchy, and makes me want to dance like Vera-Ellen....maybe even shape up my legs to look like hers! haha
There is something so special about Charlie Brown, a secular cartoon, that points its viewers to the true meaning of the Christmas season. I give Charles Schulz a lot of credit for allowing that to be made. I think it is a pretty popular movie too, whether people like the movie for its true message or not. I also just love watching Schroeder tear it up on that piano.
"White Christmas" is a childhood favorite. We always watched it with Lil Grams as we grew up on Christmas Eve...and we continued to do it with our mom when we moved away from Lil Grams. It was our tradition to watch it before we went to the Candlelight/11pm service at church. My sisters and I always loved to sing "Sisters, Sisters." It makes me smile to think about how we always sang along to EVERY song. It is sad that we can't all still do that.
In trying to fend off a cold before Christmas, Caleb and I went to bed on Friday at 6:30pm. It was the best sleep I had gotten in ages. Still, it was almost to no avail because as of an hour or two ago, my voice keeps getting hoarser and hoarser. (Are those words??) More hoarse? It is awesome. We still have to move all our things back into our now dried up basement, clean our dirty home before my mom and sister come, get Christmas cards into the mail, and somehow celebrate my birthday and finish grad classes before then?!?
We. Can. Make. It.
Did I mention that I also just want to finish re-reading the first 3 Eragon books so I can read "Inheritance"??? "Eldest" just seems to drag on! :P
I also....still want a baby. Maybe for Christmas next year?
