Day Sixteen: Nostalgic Movie Magic
Another of my holiday traditions is to watch White
Christmas. Oh, how I love the class of
vintage movies!! At our home in
Indiana, we had a theatre in our basement, where, one year, I figured out how
to work the LCD projector and watched the movie by myself. I was cozy with our electric fireplace
“burning” and snuggled into one of our theatre chairs with all the glorious
singing, dancing, costumes and set design on my own movie screen.
All of the Rankin Bass shows are a must:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Year Without a Santa Claus, for example.
And who can forget Miracle on 34th
Street or the many versions of A Christmas Carol.
A movie for Christmas through New Year’s: It’s a Wonderful
Life. (Funny tidbit…I had never heard
of It’s a Wonderful Life until I met Chris!!)
Make it a family event, a couple's nite or a solo moment. Enjoy popcorn, a warm beverage (maybe adulterated, say an Irish coffee, for example!!), cookies & pastries, snuggle under blankets, turn off all the lights except for your tree and other holiday décor. Schedule a couple hours to sit back, set the tone and allow yourself to be taken by the magic of holiday movies.
