I know....I've already seen snippets...Susannah,<br />I know....I've already seen snippets of it twice this season (and one full screening) and it was heartbreaking to see Liam Neeson at his wife's funeral.<br /><br />Must check out SNL ending. After dissing it's a Wonderful Life, I watched a few minutes of it last night while I was cleaning my office (anyone else do that...pop a movie in while you're cleaning?)<br /><br />Anyway, the beginning is so charming I may have to break down and watch the whole thing.<br /><br />If we're moving on to music I love The Little Drummer Boy despite its rather dark crime connection. And I Believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake with that little Prokofiev riff at the end.Rosemary Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033747422699443024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-18246161517124892792009-12-18T09:26:15.976-05:002009-12-18T09:26:15.976-05:00I'm a Love, Actually junkie, too.

The townspeople get together and beat mean Mr. Potter to death--peculiarly satisfying!<br /><br />Which doesn't mean we don't get together and watch the original once a year (and The Rocky Horror Picture Show for New Year's).Sheila Connollyhttp://www.sheilaconnolly.comnoreply@blogger.com
