So Darling, This Will Put a Skip in Your Step!

.

I think this is so darn cute, ya'll enjoy, really pretty Christmas department store music and even speaker announcements.  Ha, ha, ha...Some of it reminds me of ice skating music.  Do you remember Kmart?

Oh I so remember strolling through with my mom and dad when I was little, so fun.  Just so fun.

So far we've had the pleasure to watch the following movies, these have elements of Christmas in them:  

 

The other night Dolly Parton's 'Coat of Many Colors' (2015) movie was on regular antenna tv, what a treat!  We have it on dvd but it's always nice to have it on my channel master tape list!  That is such a cute, heartwarming and precious movie.  I love it too because the little actress who plays Dolly when she was little reminds me so very much of our youngest daughter Grace when she was little.

We've watched 'Holiday Affair' (1949) as well with Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh.  That one is one of Grace's favorites.

Also watched 'It Happened on 5th Avenue' (1947)  Darling movie... with Victor Moore.

Last couple of nights we watched  'Shop Around the Corner' (1940) with Jimmy Stewart, this movie is one of my husband's favorites. 

 

In the evenings, we have a nice time just chilling and watching an old movie, it's relaxing and a comfort to me, as a child I have good memories of doing that with my mom and dad or even at my grandma and grandpa's house.

So excited to get my Roy Rogers book in entitled:  My Favorite Christmas Story.   Published in 1960.  I have some excerpts in the below entry...Oh how correct he is on things.

 

Now don't get me wrong, I love the fanciful sweet atmosphere we have at Christmas but the commercialism etc. can really get me down in the dumps if you know what I mean.

 

Roy Rogers writes in his book 'My Favorite Christmas Story', Chapter One, entitled:  "I'm fed up with Christmas":

I think we have all gone a little loco about Christmas--like those crazy cowboys who shoot up the town on payday, in the movies.  We've almost shot Christmas to pieces, and that's wrong, in my book.

 

I so hear his heart oh do I ever.

Have a sweet afternoon, evening and weekend folks.

Try to give that checker and waitress or waiter a smile, many times we just don't know what people may be facing.  Choose to be kind.
