I realize this sort of thing is supposed to wait until AFTER Thanksgiving, but what the heck…
At my Lewis small group last week Bruce brought a bunch of old movies/CDs he was wanting to give away (which I thought was pretty much a wonderful idea, I should follow suit). In his collection was an overwhelming amount of Christmas music which jumpstarted my thinking about the Christmas season. I think that one of the most…nostalgic?...aspects of Christmas (aside from food) is the music. The Vince Guiardi Trio score to Charlie Brown Christmas has a way of draining every last bit of stress out of me, no matter when I listen to it. I really don’t think it is physically possible to be stressed out when this music is on, which is a good thing since much that has to do with the rest of Christmas can get very stressful.
I didn’t watch a lot of classic Christmas movies over and over, but the few I did watch on occasion really left their mark. So this week I wanted to prompt some discussion by asking what your favorite Christmas movies are.
I really like:
Charlie Brown Christmas
White Christmas
A Christmas Story
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (the claymation/animation one)

Pre-season for shame, for shame.
Now that I've chided you allow me to say that I consider the "classics" to be 1) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (original Dr. Seuss version, 2) Christmas Story (Farararara), and 3) It's a Wonderful Life. That one gets to me every year.
