The first cinematic movie we see each year is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It’s a timeless classic. It enhances our holiday spirit. This movie is highly quotable any time of year. Joy to the Griswolds.
Hello there Friday it’s good to see you. I hope you are having a great day in advance of the weekend.
At midnight Taylor Swift released new music which is always fun for her many fans. The new album is named “Midnight” and from what I hear it’s well received. Her songwriting is terrific and she is a great performer.
The Hallmark Channel in America has begun its “Countdown to Christmas” original holiday movie extravaganza. It’s 24-7 movies about the most wonderful time of the year until January 2nd.
We can’t forget there’s Halloween fun to be had in most places. America still has Thanksgiving coming up. One thing at a time in its own time.
Love and peace to you all good people.
Love Actually IS all around and Christmas IS all around us. It’s not Christmas without a visit from this highly talented cast. This is a holiday classic.
Tonight was “Elf” night as a part of the holiday movie season. Here are a few favorite quotes from this terrific movie featuring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Zooey Deschannel, Ed Asner and Bob Newheart
“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.”
“I planned out our whole day: First, we’ll make snow angels for two hours, and then we’ll go ice skating, and then we’ll eat a whole roll of Toll-House cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we’ll snuggle.”
“I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly-twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.”
“This place reminds me of Santa’s workshop…except it smells like mushrooms and everyone looks like they want to hurt me.”
“Buddy I hope you find your dad, Thanks Mr. Narwhal”
“I just like to smile; smiling’s my favorite.”
What are your favorite quotes from this modern holiday classic movie?
I am a dude who loves a good rom-com and “The Holiday” is indeed a holiday favorite. Nancy Meyers gives us a comedy that is romantic, complex and very contemporary. Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Rufus Sewell and the late Eli Wallach make this movie something special. When people trade where they live their lives anything can happen.
1. Treat every day like Christmas
2. There’s room for everyone on the nice list.
3. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
“Elf” the holiday movie of the evening featuring Will Ferrell as Buddy The Elf and James Caan as his dad Walter Hobbs. This movie has become a must see every season.
Queen Latifah and LL Cool J light up the screen in this movie about a misdiagnosed woman who seeks to live out her “last” days in Europe at a posh hotel, living it up. The supporting cast of Gerard Depardieu, Timothy Hutton, Alicia Witt and Giancarlo Esposito make this movie a great holiday flick.
Will Ferrell is fantastic in this story of a man named Buddy who was raised from infancy in the North Pole by elves who work in Santa’s workshop. He finds his real dad in New York City and adventures ensue with his new found brother. He also finds love with a department store worker named Jovie. Buddy helps restore the Christmas spirit. We love this movie, there is some memorable dialogue that we love to quote all the way through.
