I never have this blessed scene in mind when I hear this, and I have been in the King's College Chapel for services. I keep remembering the incredible devastation of Coventry during WW2 that I had studied at the fine RAF Museum at Duxford. An world-class museum of the War, along with the Cabinet War Rooms in London.

h5. War is man's mark on God's will and we fail miserably at it, because to God's order we bring utter chaos.

Not enough to follow this advice, I will enjoy shrimp on a bed of ice, however..

It's not a Charlie Brown Christmas. I will save it for later.

When you read the stories of the Christmas celebrations in old England, this scene rings so true to me. From Scrooge:

I can understand your dilemma. My sons are both big movie fans as well. The best gift I found was for the older one. Looking through the Christmas shops many years ago, I found a snowglobe of a little cabin surrounded by snow covered pines. It did look a lot like the snow globe in Citizen Kane -except this one was musical and played Silent Night as well. I sent it to him, with a greeting note, and I didn't need to explain it, he saw the similarity himself.
I have many people I am so close to who are movie lovers, that I try to keep those movies in mind when just roaming around. I keep the list for the few I buy small and thoughtful, and I'm fortunate that with my brothers and sisters we pulled ourselves out of the gift swapping insanity years ago.
I love set decor and Production Design and that has inspired me. But of course, I shop casually for Christmas all year with an open mind. What's one of the favorite movies that could be represented in a gift?

For this Advent Sunday:
h5. May your light shine and others see God's love through you.

I am a fan of Michael Buble, but I won't put this on the Chairman of the Board thread:
h5. Push yourself, don't let others have the chance.

> The new Sinatra ? Please . ...I think Mr. Buble does well on songs that are a little more on the modern side. He sang a song from the original Pink Panther movie [ song title escapes me ] which I found charming. I think it was a duet. Sinatra's phrasing was, in my opinion, impeccable. That was a major factor in his singing. Mr. Buble doesn't come close.

Thank you for the synopsis of the sequel, Tracey. I am at a loss how the publishers would have jump on this, unless the book was pristine in format, and they thought the cache of the Original would be all the promotion they need.
I didn't think it too long at all, for the context was needed. It is a travesty to the original telling.

Settle down with the bashing. I don't get the Us vs. Them mentality of this argument.
I like Buble's style, and I feel every generation deserves it's Standards-style of singer. I lament there aren't many great Girl Singers who do it straight and great. I would be interested in some gal who didn't need to keep venturing into Country. I like some of the standards done now, and I admit closer to the great Nelson Riddle or Gordon Jenkins in the arrangement, I am all for it.
