Noel, I hope you feel better. Cozy up with a good Christmas book or movie. I am reading The Christmas List right now.

Thanks Christmas Crazy for your prayers.

Happy underling (is that possible?) Jolly.


Had a great post Christmas dinner of St Knuts Temptation. Perky has a 4 pm interview on Monday, so it will be nice to have leftovers on Monday evening rather than cooking. He has been deep cleaning the kitchen. I told him the more he cleans, the faster he gets a job.

That was Christmas Crazy, a few years ago now. Many of us now regularly have Friday Christmasses. Listening to Christmas music while you go about your business or at the computer at work. It was alot easier when Live365 was around. Now I rely on youtube at work. Perky and I will set Friday Christmasses aside now until Christmas in July. We have found that the return of the Christmas music then brings more excitement as we look forwars to its return. We do Rudolph Day every month as that is payday in Sweden. Perky is already looking forward to Christmas in January. He needs a job......LOL

I saw Holiday Inn in color this week. Oh my, it wa like seeing it all over for the first time. The care that was taken with the sets was amazing considering they were filmed in black and white. Next to White Christmas, this is probably my favorite Christmas movie.

Good morning Jolly. Holiday Inn is the first Christmas movie I must see every season. And I love watching it at Christmas in July because itis so frickin hot here! I do prefer it in black and white -- I actually own the bluray and a streaming copy on Amazon Prime. But it does look different in color just as White Christmas looks different in black and white. I am an originalist -- I always prefer the film as it was originally intended. That said, I never pass by watching either movie. :D

CandyKane, I hope the ice storm missed your area! Snow is always nice, especially around Christmas, but ice is too slippery for reindeer hooves! :wink:

I don't believe I have seen Holiday Inn. I will have to take a look on one of my Christmas Fridays.

Yesterday I spent most of the day going through and organizing all of my digital photos. After looking through 6000 or so, it was still nice to go down memory lane...especially the Christmas ones. Up next is setting some albums up on the big digital picture frame for the living room.

Well, I rode 150 miles on a bus Saturday and rode 280 miles in the van yesterday to go visit my son in college I only drove the last 20 miles.
Probably too many miles on this new Christmas Elf back. :D
I better take it easy for a while.
