My Thoughts:
This is probably my all time favorite Christmas movie. My mom and I have been watching it for as long as I can remember. Every year. We used to rent the video and then I finally bought the DVD. It is one of my prized posessions.
It is a tradtion with us. Bake cookies, watch White Christmas.
I can quote it and sing along with all the songs but it still makes me all warm and gooey inside every time I watch it. I even taught my girls the "Sisters" song. And "Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow!"
If you've never seen White Christmas, poor thing! It is a classic.
I'll be setting up a time with my mom this week for us to sit down and watch it with some nice hot tea and some cookies.
(BTW, my husband's favorite Christmas movie is National Lampoon's Christmas. Did I really marry him? Although I caught him watching White Christmas on TV the other day!)
Merry Christmas!
I am such a poor thing, because I have never seen it - but now I have a really good reason to watch it!
ReplyDeleteHi, by the way, found your blog via the LBS and absolutely like the Christmas theme. Very festive!

Hi . I have just popped over via LBS and love the Christmas theme also. That was such a good film to watch at this time of the year. I also love Wonderful Life with James Stewart.

White CHristmas is played even when it isn't Christmas! I adore it. My Children have their favorite parts as well. Yep, It is not just a classic but one which you have to watch with hot tea and cookies. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhite Christmas, The Bishop's Wife, It's a Wonderful Life, The Man Who Came for Dinner, and Elf - those are my season must-haves! Once I get "Sisters" in my head, I cannot stop humming it for hours:)
