… well, you know 🙂
All gifts have been purchased – all except my youngest brother, who also had the good fortune to be born on Christmas Day (poor fellow). Cards and parcels are scheduled to go out today and tomorrow. All that is left is to do is to sit back and enjoy the holiday.
That got me thinking about what I could do on this blog to commemorate the holiday. Then I remembered, a couple of years ago I spent each of the 10 days leading up to Christmas giving readers what I would consider a ’10-disk box set’ of essential Yuletide viewing. The order in which each selection is labeled is in not of any consequence; here is my list:
Volume 1: A Charlie Brown Christmas
Volume 3: Love Actually Here is a favorite scene from that film:
Volume 4: Miracle on 34th Street
Volume 6: Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)
Volume 7: It’s a Wonderful Life
Volume 8: Christmas in Connecticut
Volume 10: While You Were Sleeping
Of course missing from this box set is the perennial The Snowman. There are also a couple of honorable mentions, mostly the animated world:
Mickey’s Christmas Carol
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Bedtime for Sniffles
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Scrooged
… I could go on …
I am sure I am missing some essential holiday viewing so feel free to make more suggestions in the comments section below.
