Thanks but I can’t lie in bed in my jammies, which is half the fun lol.
I was just very puzzled as to why these two movies, which have always been on non-stop for the month of December, are now reserved only for Christmas Eve. They must be selling the advertising for a much higher rate for those who must watch them every years.
I’m sure the reason is MONEY related. Years ago I bought these movies on DVD because I was tired of all the commercials. Next I’m going to buy Silent Night with Linda Hamilton. That was taken off of youtube.
I remember back when “A Christmas Story” would run non-stop all day long on TBS, can’t remember if it was Christmas day or not.
Probably too PC now.
my story on the movie Its a wonderful Life.
I only saw it once. It was at the invitation of the academic dean at my seminary. It had been a bad few weeks. My dad had died, I did the funeral. I was finishing up 3 graduate classes (got extension on papers and exams); had left my husband ; closed up my real estate office and gave away the listings and under contracts to a friend.
He and his wife had me and another student over. This was Johnson City TN where I went to grad school. I was in late 40s at the time. The other student probably the same age. The dean confided in me that this man was troubled and he was counseling him and thought that an evening of us together might lift his spirits. I was exhausted from my situation the past 2 weeks My dad died Dec 10 which started the whole process. I had planned on separating from Bob after the first of year. My dad’s death through things crazy. My mom was a very fragile person emotionally.. she never drove. Was completely dependent on my dad. I made the decision to go with her for at least a semester. She had been in poor health and it was a shock that Dad died, not her. But those MRIs are wicked. I could not fully function with the business.. not even partially. I knew the faculty would be understanding for me to not do papers and tests til late Jan/early Feb
We watched the movie - which I had mixed feelings about - ate snacks, played with their dog & cat (I had not yet had my first dog) and chatted til wee hours.
This was New Years Eve. Two days later I got a call from my professor/dean that the man had committed suicide.
So overall the movie just did not resonate with me. The circumstances of prior weeks and the death afterward of the guy..
I should give it another chance. Everyone raves and it is a classic
