Can It Be?

I think I have taken for granted all of the wonderful, warm and fuzzy Christmas classics I get to experience each year. Frosty, Rudolph, Yogi Bear, the Grinch, Charlie Brown(even) Ernest saves Christmas (anyone?)! These animated/claymation gems have been part of each of my (now) 24 Christmases. I can't even remember the first time I saw each of these - they have always been present.

Would you believe that my beloved roommate has not seen any of the above mentioned holiday staples??

We have each filled our Netflix queues to remedy this. And fast!! For the next several nights, we are trying to squeeze in at least one Christmas special.

Last night we got in our PJ's, brought out our fuzzy blankets and watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Tonight's feature will include Frosty the Snowman!!

There is a charming theater here in Chicago called the Music Box Theatre.
They typically play independent and foreign films and occasionally feature old classics.

This Christmas season they are featuring several showings of White Christmas and It's A Wonderful Life. Sarah does not yet know that we are going to see both of these this Saturday for our roommate Christmas date!! She will finally get to see these beloved films for the first time on the big screen!!!

So so excited!! Hopefully pictures to come soon!

Me to you, the merriest!!
