Procrastination and Merry Christmas!

I pose for a quick photo with this handsome nutcracker at our local
Nordstrom’s Department Store.

Merry Christmas! Like you, I have a million and one things to do before this December 25th, but procrastination has set in. Apparently lacking in the discipline to complete these chores in an orderly manner, I will instead, happily chat with you for a minute. Pour yourself a cup of hot tea and relax with me for a bit.

                                            How I Spent My Day Today

Yes, I had more than enough to do today, but…
I love classic movies!  Add Christmas to a classic movie and I am filled with extreme happy holiday cheer! Today I had my chance to experience super duper EHHC (extreme happy holiday cheer)! Turner Classic Movies was offering the showing of ” Miracle on 34th Street” on the big screen! :o)

I am all smiles as I stand near the swoon-worthy Clark Gable’s
hand and foot prints, star of classic movies.

Today, the Sunday before Christmas, instead of wrapping gifts in Martha Stewart fashion, or baking goodies of unspeakable yumminess, I instead braved my local mall/theatre parking lot. (It was packed!) Entering the theatre’s body-filled lobby, I encountered loads of “Star Wars” enthusiasts.  (They were there to view the just released and newest, of the”Star Wars” films.) As I brushed past two young men dressed in full “Star Wars” costume attire, I made my way to a less hectic, Theatre # 8.

The email invitation that I received about this event.

Interesting “Miracle on 34th Street” trivia about the stars of the film, Natalie Wood, Maureen O’Hara, and Edmund Gwenn, came across the screen before the show.  

What a joy it was to sit back and relax (procrastinate a bit?), and enjoy this perennial Christmas classic.  It never disappoints. I left with a big smile on my face!

Time for me to get back to all of the fun preparations for this wonderful and joyous Christmas Season. Christmas is almost here.  :o)

Merry Christmas and thanks for reading!
