Holiday Season 2021 - Miracle On 34th Street

Sunday, December 19, 2021

Dale and I had quiche for dinner and watched Miracle on 34th Street tonight. I think we watched it just last year  but seeing it again was fun as always. I remember back in high school Sharon Berry and I saw it together at a matinee at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. 

Back when Dad was alive and after Dale and I took over turkey making duty we'd watch Miracle on 34th Street while the bird was in the oven. When finished we'd transport it over to Mom and Dad's at the house on Stevens.

The Eleventh Day of Christmas - Miracle on 34th Street

Saturday, January 24, 2020

Dale and I watched Miracle on 34th Street tonight. Neither one of us has seen it in a number of years. We used to watch it on Thanksgiving morning while the turkey was baking. 

My high school friend, Sharon, and I went to see this at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts way back when we were in high school. I remember how charmed and enchanted we were with it. Sadly, Sharon died about 10 years ago. I still think of her fondly and often. 

We had salmon for dinner and for dessert we decided to finish up some of the cookies Mom made for us. I can't remember what they're called. It's been a number of years since she's made them however they were a yearly thing when we were kids. It's a pillow like cookie similar in concept to ravioli and they're stuffed with dates. They're delicious and when I first bit into one after all these years it brought me right back to Christmas at the house on Stevens with the sounds of the Kingston Trio and the Harry Simeone Chorale in my ears.
