What happened to the holiday movies this year? Was it me, or were we a few classic holiday movies short this year.
Yes, yes I know all about the 'special' programming on Fridays in December, but seeing Holiday Affair just once is quite enough. And please lets talk about the movies shown...The Girl He Left Behind; Black Christmas; Susan Slept Here; Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf; Lion in the Winter; and some of this stuff was on Christmas day!
You know, at 47, there are only a few things I can count now these days.. seeing great, classic holiday movies on Christmas day were one of those things. Christmas in Connecticut; It's A Wonderful Life; White Christmas, or how about just good movies that make you feel like you did when you still believed in Santa; and that the world was good;and all would be made right in the end.
Perhaps its wrong and child-like, but I counted on that this year. I needed it.
Christmas is over, and today bypassed the television altogether since the schedule was Disney movies. I spent most of the day in bed, sort of hiding from my family who seem happy with the selection of sporting events today. Tomorrow there's work, and by the end of the week, the beginning of a new year. So perhaps next year.
