Christmas Season 2014/2015 - The Bishop's Wife

We watched The Bishop's Wife tonight. The scene where Dudley decorates the Christmas tree with the wave of his arms is quite impressive considering there were no computer generated special effects back in 1947. 

We had pumpkin pie for dessert tonight, probably the last time for the season. There were only two individual slices left in the dessert case at Kowalski's so we figured it was meant to be. Also, I finished up the last of the pumpkin pie cream liqueur. There was only a splash left.

Christmas Season 2013 - It's a Wonderful Life

It's probably been about 4 or 5 years since Dale and I have watched It's a Wonderful Life. I'm not sure why the long break as we had been watching it every year for a while. The first version I saw of this movie was one starring Marlo Thomas in the George Bailey role. This was way back in the 1970s and I was probably around 10 or 11 years old. But back to the 1946 version. We didn't finish watching it - Dale fell asleep.
