Original Television Christmas Classics

Posted by Unknown

I found it! I found it! I'm so excited! Remember yesterday when I was telling you that my daughter had seen a DVD advertised with all the cool old TV Christmas movies on it? Well, I went digging around on Amazon, switching up my search terms - a little here - a little there...

And I found it! Funny thing is, I'm not sure whether I'm more excited for her or for me! I mean, this is my childhood we're talking about, right?

Right!

Well, and people older than I, as well. I'm not sure exactly how old these movies are - that is the next thing I'm gonna go digging around to find. That quest shouldn't be too hard - between IMDB and Wikipedia, I'm sure I'll have the answers in no time at all!

Here it is!!!



The reviews on the thing are amazing!! People are so happy to get these! Remember how it was when we were kids and we would be SO EXCITED that the movie was going to be on and it was the ONLY opportunity we had to see it???

Oh, what about every year when The Wizard of Oz would come on TV? Same thing! It was a MONDO big deal!

Weird, huh? Now we're in TOTAL control. Blessing in disguise, kind of, I'd say - that buildup of excitement is missing quite a bit. And everyone at school the next day talking about it...

Ah well...

Oh! Look, I found another one:


Cool!

Charlie Brown Christmas

I just love "A Charlie Brown Christmas"!! It is definitely one of my favorites! I missed it last night on TV, so I went looking for it on Hulu.com and found it there. Yea!!



That player is just a little too wide for this theme Never mind! I got it fixed - cool! I wasn't sure if it would look ok if I adjusted the sizes myself, but, it did great!

I know my daughter is having so much fun watching lots of Christmas movies over the last couple of weeks. (Ack! I've been horrible so far and haven't watched any with her - must remedy that!!)

She saw a DVD advertised with all of the old Christmas movies on it - you know the ones - Frosty the Snowman, Charlie Brown and all that. I need to hunt that down for her!

I did find this "A Charlie Brown Christmas" book:


They're also selling something a little strange. They are selling the 'tree' from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" for $15. Um, yeah, that's a bit on the weird side.

It's ...a branch

...on some wood.

That's it. Just goofy, if you ask me! LOL

Here - you wanna see it? I'll go get the link for it:


And OMG!! It's not $15 - it's $25! That's crazy. I think it be would cuter, sweeter, and more fun to make one than buy one. Oh well, what do I know?
