TV Shows......

[Lindsey]

We added a couple more shows to our PVR schedule lol! We watch Malibu Country, with Reba, which is followed by Last Man Standing. I really like Reba and I really like Tim Allen

[Blueyes]

I just added those, too! Also Nashville.

Christmas movies have started!!!!

[Janet]

My goodness, I think that last movie I saw was Marley and Me....lol. I don't care for movies much...some, but it's been awhile. I don't usually like Christmas shows either. Guess I'll just stick with my usuals.

[DianaB]

After Halloween and all of the horror movies I'm so ready for some heartwarming movies!! Christmas movies are usually so uplifting!!

I like Christmas movies too, Diana. We always watch Christmas Vacation on Christmas day. I like the corny movie White Christmas too - the music is so pretty.

[DianaB]

My son and his family like to watch Christmas Story!! I think that they can repeat it word for word!!

I think that I have White Christmas somewhere. I should get it out and watch it!! I have a Feature Family Films movie that I can't recall the name of but I always watch it at Christmas time. It reminds me of what Christmas is all about.

Does anyone else have a favorite Christmas movie or show?

[Lindsey]

Janet - BAH HUMBUG!!!

My favorite Christmas movie is Elf. I watch it every year and it just makes me giggle every time.

My dad loves A Christmas Story. After a few rum & egg nogs, he will start reminiscing about parts of the movie lol! He loves the part with the leg lamp, and when the dogs eat the turkey, and the Chinese restaurant. Lol he is so funny when he starts talking about it and he's laughing so hard he can hardly get the words out. Oh and the National Lampoon movie is one of his other favourites. I just love watching Christmas movies with my dad! My mom just sits back and rolls her eyes.

My dad said they should have named me Holly or Eve because I love Christmas so much. I even watch kids' Christmas shows every year! Especially the classics like the Charlie Brown ones. I almost need to have kids so I have a real excuse for it.

I haven't seen any Christmas movies on tv yet!

Elf is a good movie. I think that it's one of Dae Lynn's favorites too.

The movie that I couldn't remember is called Seasons of the Heart. It's set in pioneer days and is where a family is heading west in a covered wagon when their two daughters fall sick and die. In the movie the Mom is having a hard time with her loss......and a minister brings out a little boy who has lost his parents. The Mom keeps comparing him to her little girls who were sweet and cuddly......while the boy is ALL boy! She finally tells her husband to take the boy back to the minister but on the way to town he changes his mind and takes him back home. The boy sneaks some of the girls toys out of the house to the barn and sets up a nativity scene......and she overhears him talking about the baby Jesus. She realizes that he had been some other mother's child and needs a family and she then realizes that he needs her and she needs him. It's a very touching ending. I used to get movies from Feature Family Films which is from the Mormon church. They made some of their own movies and they were very good family movies. Several of them are still our family favorites.

I forgot that I really do like White Christmas. I don't think I've heard of the Christmas Story movie.

[DianaB]

Oh Janet!! Everyone should watch Christmas Story at least once!!! You're going to have to rent it!! It's got some pretty hilarious parts!!!

Did anyone watch Ken Burns' The Dust Bowl documentary on PBS? My grandparents owned a farm in northwestern Oklahoma not far from the epicenter of the dust bowl. I swear I don't know how they made it through all that. Thankfully, they did not pull up and move to CA. We still own the farm my grandparents managed to save. I've heard all the stories from my grandma and mom, but to see all the pictures and stories in the documentary is very enlightening. My life has been so very very easy!

[Janet]

Not heard about that one. I saw a documentary many years ago, but only remember bits and pieces. I love history so I would find it interesting.

[JJJ]

I remember reading it in History. Here's the PBS link

I still like watching Miracle on 34th Street, (the original with Natalie Woods.)

Thanks for the link Jess, I'll try to watch it this weekend.
