I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Just like the ones I used to know.
I recorded the movie "White Christmas" on the DVR, to be played later. I'll also record the classic black and white versions of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and I have videos of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story" to watch.
I also have all kinds of vintage holiday radio programs to listen to, including the great Lionel Barrymore as Scrooge. And of course, there is the too often forgotten story of the Nativity, and the message of peace on Earth, good will toward men.
Working in retail jades one a little more each year, and I'm going to try to recapture some of that this year. We live in an amazing age of audio and visual gratification. Why not take advantage of it, as a means of time travel?
I will do that, starting December 1. I agree with Bill O'Reilly. It's still Thanksgiving until then.
First, though, we need some snow. I'm not normally fond of the stuff. I hate it, actually. But that can wait until January.
