First of all, I sincerely thank everyone who commented on my last post. I didn't write that, expecting responses like that, but it sure was nice. So, thanks. You guys make me cry!
The Christmas season has been very busy around here, so far. The stores are all stuffed full, the malls are stuffy and crowded, so we're trying to stay out of these places as much as possible. On Friday night, we stayed home and watched my Disney Christmas DVD. It has short movies on it, including The Small One, Pluto's Christmas Tree, and Mickey's Christmas Carol. Has everyone seen these movies? We used to watch these movies often during Christmas time and watching them now instantly takes me back to sitting next to the tree at our little house in St. Johns, Arizona.
As JM and I were watching Mickey's Christmas Carol together on Friday, JM looked at me and laughed. "This is a kids' movie! You're just a big kid!" I guess that it's true. It's hard for him to get into the movie when it's not attached to any memories. Just like I can't really get into the stupid cartoons that are on right now. But I could watch Garfield or the Ghostbuster's cartoon and really enjoy it... Tangent. Sorry.
We had a VHS tape growing up, that was filled with recorded Christmas movies. I think that it had It's a Wonderful Life, One Magic Christmas, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (although it wasn't the clay-mation one, it was just a regular cartoon), and The Nutcracker Fantasy. I'm not sure why my mom decided to put these specific movies together, but I love them.
Anyways, these are my absolute favorite Christmas movies. If you get a second, and need some Christmas cheer, here's the full video for the version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer that is my favorite.
Enjoy!

I have movies I love from childhood and when I play them, Paul just doesn't get it. If I stop and think about it, I know the plot is ridiculous and the songs are lame and they are really, really old, but it takes me back to being a kid and you can't replace that.
ONE MAGIC CHRISTMAS!!! I thought I was the only one who knew what this was!
