TC (Christmas) Movies

I’ve been crocheting pretty much full time. Yesterday I made three pairs of slippers and one fluffy pink bear hat. Night before last, I stayed up finishing my aunt’s brilliant black adult-size elf hat for her missionary son.
Today, it’s back to the grind.
Four hot pads.
Three bear hats
Two flower hats.
One pair of slippers.

And a partridge in a pear tree.

While sitting on the couch all day is generally makes me feel like Fatty Fatterson, it does have it’s perks.

I ordered these movies last week from Amazon and I’ve been watching the snot out of them. I’m a HUGE fan of classic movies, and I’m so excited to have a few more Christmas movies around the house! Before they came in the mail, I had my daughter watching “A Christmas Story.” After it was over, she approached me and said, “Mom, Ralphie just said… sunnuva b#*@!.”
Gah!
What sort of Christmas movie IS THAT for a toddler?!

Anyway, I highly recommend “The Shop Around the Corner” to anyone. Jimmy Stewart is just wonderful -as he always is. It has the same story line as “You’ve Got Mail” minus computers and Frank Something-Or-Other. I can watch it over and over and get wrapped up in the dialogue and characters.

I was pleasantly surprised with “Christmas in Connecticut.” It’s a story about a journalist who lives in a tiny stuffy apartment in New York. She pretends she’s a married woman with a baby who lives on a picturesque farm in Connecticut. Her editor knows the truth, but the owner of the magazine she writes for does not. He (the owner) loves her article so much he invites himself to her “farm” for Christmas. It’s a great story, and I’ve watched it several times over. My husband has too -he likes it as much as I do.

Today is going to be spent in much the same way, but I’ve GOT to get my dishes done sometime today. I took one day off from them, and my hands love me for it (they’ve stopped bleeding!) but my kitchen counter is screaming for mercy.

I’ll see you on the other side of four Christmas movies and 10 crochet projects.
