Set out the Santa collection this morning. Also, rewatched Christmas in Connecticut this afternoon since I fell asleep during it last night.
It's one I didn't become familiar with until my adult years and it's become one of my most favorite Christmas movies.
Not only is it generally a great story but the script is tight, it's perfectly cast, and the editing and pacing are fantastic.
Originally Bette Davis was to play the lead role of Elizabeth Lane and although I'm sure she would have been fantastic it's hard for me to imagine anyone else in the part but Barbara Stanwyck. S. Z. Sakall as Uncle Felix almost steals the show.
Tonight Dale and I watched The Family Stone on the recommendation of Noel. The movie's almost 20 years old and I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. It was hightly watchable and well done but I don't know that it's the kind of Christmas movie you'd haul out every year to watch like Christmas In Connecticut.
