When I was young I got bullied because of it. I later turned it into my super power. Being sensitive is a great trait to listen and feel empathy towards others. I think when one cares for others such as yourself it gives you great self worth. Happy birthday to Linda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to create a Spotify playlist using your track listing but Spotify didn't have several of your versions of the songs. I couldn't find some of the artists on Spotify at all. Plus, I'd be missing out on the various "commercials" that you included. Thanks for putting this together and sharing with everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted December 22, 2023 #111259 Share Posted December 22, 2023 While not a Hallmark Christmas movie, I recently watched "Last Christmas" on Amazon Prime and found it pleasantly enjoyable. It does start off as a typical rom-com but there is some Christmas magic towards the end that elevates it into Christmas movie status. Plus, I really like Emilia Clarke - aka Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones - so it was interesting to see her in this role. Also, lots of George Micheal & Wham songs in the movie since it's supposedly based on the song "Last Christmas" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad you enjoyed it and realize some of the hidden gems I have collected over the years. I too tried to do a Spotify playlist of some of my mixes but I couldn’t find some of the songs so that’s why I haven’t done it. I like the mix format as I’m everything is continuous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime, Amazon, Netflix and Lifetime all have great new holiday movies. Also on prime is one of my favorite films about the origin of Santa Claus. It’s a Finnish film called “Christmas Story” not to be confused with Ralphie in “A Christmas Story.” Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07LFNW61J/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then something wonderful and unexpected happened. Do you ever have a moment where you realize everything you do for your child gets recognized and that some of the things we taught them gets settled in their brain? I was overjoyed as we drove through the display playing my Christmas music mix on the stereo and my sons says to me, “You know dad? I’m starting to get real nostalgic at Christmas time now. I am starting to really love Christmas music and the holidays are really getting special for me.” WOW! A tear came to eye and Linda looked at me and smiled and winked. Somedays as a parent you can say to yourself, “I did good.” Merry Christmas my dear friends. And in case you messed it. Here is the link to download this years Christmas music mix.

helen haywood Posted December 22, 2023 #111268 Share Posted December 22, 2023 We sold our house in Georgia!!! So relieved!!! Less than asking price but we were happy with it. I personally think realtors in that small rural town are somewhat out of touch. In the past there had been people who moved there and paid large sums for houses. But, sad to say, I think the town is definitely in a decline. One of the two grocery stores closed…the rural hospital is hanging on by the skin of its teeth…the large landowners have for decades blocked any industry that wanted to build there. No retired people want to buy a five bedroom house and a young family couldn’t afford it. It was a wonderful small town with lots of friends and family for the thirty years we lived there…now all but two of my friends have died and I only have one distant cousin left. So glad that the house will be lived in and loved again…and that I don’t have the constant worry over an empty house in another state. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She took a temp job when she was young wrapped Christmas gifts for a department store. She can really whip them out . My first job in high school was the "Gift Wrap Girl" at our local department store for $1.25 per hour. 😄 Happiest of birthdays to Linda! So wonderful when we discover that we did good as parents. What a nice memory you shared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieJo Posted December 22, 2023 #111274 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I would like to add our "Happy Holiday Wishes" to everyone. We have a busy few days coming up. Today I'm finishing up the wrapping and the groceries. Tomorrow, we have a fun event planned (that we were just surprised with). Apparently during the summer, the company my son works for had a golf outing with a charity auction. He bid on the one of the prizes and won it. So, several family and friends are invited to attend a performance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra at Little Cesars Arena (where the Detroit Red Wings play). He won a suite, so we will all enjoy the show from a great vantage point. I'm really looking forward to it. On Sunday morning the kids will all come over for brunch and presents. Then on Monday we'll all head to my brother's house for a visit with extended family and dinner. May you all have a joyous season!

Have been to quite a few performances, although I am not at all a "concert" person. May you, Doug and family have a wonderful season! We are looking forward to seeing you both on Bella 2 and telling Doug that I recognize him from the CC picture! LOL! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
