Well, let's see.....
Put the lights up outside last weekend. They look very nice in all of the snow. It took me a total of about five hours to shovel out, half on Wednesday night and the rest on Thursday.* Someone parked about six inches from my driveway, and some vendor plowed the driveways across the street and piled the snow in the parking spaces right in front of my house. I had to shovel about six feet into the street. DAMN!!!
We've been watching our usual Christmas fare - Miracle on 34th Street, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Elf, Holiday Inn, Going My Way (not really an Xmas film, but it does end on Christmas), Come To The Stable, Polar Express, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, etc. We're saving Scrooge (1970) and It's A Wonderful Life for Christmas Eve, as always.
For myself I've been watching most every version of A Christmas Carol I can find, including Mr. Magoo, The Muppets and Scrooge McDuck. George C Scott and Patrick Stewart were just themselves doing the character; not impressed. 1938 and 1951 are still faves in addition to the 1970 Albert Finney version.
Audio post work has been almost completely nil, so it's going to be a very lean holiday this year.
*Back in the late 1960s, I was about 10 or 11, my father was in Africa on a business trip when we were hit with a true blizzard. My mom, sister and myself would go out and shovel, come inside to warm up and have hot chocolate, them go back out and start again. We did it all day and into the evening, when the snow finally slackened. Our next-door neighbor, Mr. Hanson, opened his window and yelled over to my mom "It's very nice, Bev; where the hell do you think you're going?" Which was true; there was at least two feet of snow on the street. However, it got very warm that evening and the snow started to melt, but it soon got VERY cold again, and everything froze solid. The next morning the street was plowed. All of our neighbors were literally chipping away at frozen snow, whilst the three of us went out for a drive (we had the studded snow tires which are now illegal most places.) We ended up taking neighbors out shopping for the next couple of days. However, this explains why I'm such a fanatic about getting everything shoveled as soon as possible. And now that I'm in my 60s (Holy Feces Batman!!! Where has all the time gone?) with arthritis and a bad back, I would rather shovel two or three inches of snow a few times no matter how late and cold it is than to shovel a foot of snow all at once.
