I love those old movies you mentioned and they are musts on my list. I watch both the old and new versions of Miracle on 34th Street. There must be about 25 movies that I have to watch and then, as you said, a bunch of new offerings some of which I will have to see next year too. It is a wonderful life, isn't it?Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-13553292546211239132013-12-11T06:46:01.912-06:002013-12-11T06:46:01.912-06:00I do love Christmas for all the reasons you mentio...I do love Christmas for all the reasons you mentioned, Emma. The commercialization does get me down as I prefer to think of the holiday the way older fils like, The Bishop's Wife, Christmas in Connecticut, White Christmas depicted it with lots of loving, simple gifts from the heart and SNOW. The true meaning has been lost to so many people which is why I tend to get a bit "down" at this special time of year. People do tend to forget that the "gift" is what's in your heart, and not in your hand. Special gifts for special people are wonderful, but very hard to achieve. When I write holiday cards, which I still do and enjoy doing, my joy is in writing personal messages in each, the old fashioned way with a pen. Yes, I love the lights, snowfalls, and watching holiday movies, the same ones very year and then adding new ones so next year's viewing has to start earlier. Beatrice P.
