Fave Christmas Movies

So, I was all prepared to elaborate on my last post about the shootings at that mall in Omaha. For those outside of Colorado, you may or may not have heard that literally a day or two after that shooting, there was yet another shooting in Colorado Springs at two different churches. Again, by some lone, disgruntled Angry White Male. I had collected some comments that people wrote on the Denver Post right after it that I was going to use for my next article.

But then, I realized all of that was just plain depressing. And who really wants to focus on such negativity when we are supposed to be in a time of reflective peacefulness (a.k.a. Christmas). Right? And maybe I was just joining in the media frenzy of focusing on these types of events which in reality just brings more attention to them.

Who knows.

In any case, inspired by my friend Dave, I decided to instead write about my Favorite Christmas Movies of All Time.

And to further put you in the Christmas spirit (as if the movies weren't enough!) - here is a link to some streaming semi- modern Christmas songs (no cheesy church music!) for your enjoyment...... :)

I am listening to it right now as I am working from home!
