Puffy Pink Heart Him!
Text message I received from Lovey earlier: "I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful gal I have!" Is it any wonder why I lerve him?

It's Not Christmas Without.....
Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
The part where he puts the antlers on the poor little dog, Max, is by far, my favorite. Here's the part right after:
A Charlie Brown Christmas
The holidays aren't the holidays without Charlie Brown. My absolute favorite is Linus's soliloquy on Charlie Brown's "Doesn't anyone know what Christmas is all about!?!?" Here it is:
The Little Drummer Boy
It's been FOREVER since I've actually seen this, but this clip contains the best part. Even though Baa-Baa getting run over by the Roman chariot traumatized me:
Home for the Holidays
Technically, a Thanksgiving movie, but I'm counting it Christmas as well! This entire movie cracks me up. It starts Holly Hunter, the brilliant Robert Downey, Jr., Charles Durning, Ann Bancroft and so many other familiar faces. Who hasn't had the clueless holiday that made you wonder if you were adopted? (I know I'm not. "You act too much like your Daddy". Right, Mama?) :)
The Family Stone
I will watch this in December, July, September - every time it is on. I included the trailer since there isn't a particular scene that stands out - except the end where I cry my eyes out regardless. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you.
Elf
Will Ferrell in tights pretty much says it all. I love this clip because Zooey Deschanel has a beautiful voice (and she reminds me of my neighbor, Ki).
This is my favorite clip. How could it not be?
Love, Actuallly
Wow, have watched this over and over and over. About fifteen stories are intertwined in this British movie. Each one is brilliant. You'd have to see the movie to understand this clip, but it is beautiful.
It's A Wonderful Life
THE CHRISTMAS MOVIE. Jimmy Stewart? Perfection. Donna Reed? Perfection. I can recite many scenes for you if you want - or not. Yeah, I'm that geeky. At the 5 1/2 minute mark of this clip is my favorite scene. Young George and Young Mary are in the soda shop when Mary says, "George Bailey, I'll love you 'til the day I die".
Love it!
Then later, a grown up George and Mary. Look at the tension between them! Wow! Did I mention I love this movie?
Auntie Mame
The Rosalind Russell version, NOT the Lucille Ball musical version. OK, I can for real recite this entire movie for you. I cannot express how much I love Each and Every Scene of this Film. It is so ahead of its time. It's sarcastic, forward-thinking and just plain hilarious. That and I always wanted to recreate her blue living room.
Here's a later scene. So great!
There is one more thing I usually watch this time of year......work with me, people. Work with me. It's Eddie Izzard Dressed to Kill.
I normally watch this when I'm putting the Christmas tree up. Weird, yes. But, that's me.
So there's a little bit of my Christmas playlist. Get thee to a Blockbuster of Netflix IMMEDIATELY!
And in case I don't see you before, I'll take this chance to wish you a
God bless us every one!

"I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet...."
"A weak earthquake has been felt by residents northwest of Charleston, but no damage was immediately reported.
A quake measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale was recorded at 7:42 a.m. Tuesday." --The State newspaper
Let me assure you....there ain't nothing weak about feeling your house shake. Wow!

Dickens Week
Meaning "It's been the best of times, it's been the worst of times".
The boss that I bought this book
to cope with is gone. The result of a "re-organization" of the company. This is the best of times.
The worst of times: my sweet friend Mafie's job was sacrificed to make room for this a$$hat. The thing that pisses me off most: this IDIOT still has a job while she is out looking for one. Hopefully, "what goes around, comes around" comes quite quickly for this waste of space.

On top of parking garage, downtown Charleston, Thanksgiving
The maple tree in our front yard
Where the blue ridge yawns its greatness...
...where the Tigers play.

Fall leaves, Clemson
