Thank you for the mention on your blog. I'm glad to see you on board on mine. Your name's in the hat!

I too love all of the old Christmas Movies. The more current ones just don't have the same feel. Seems nothing has the same feel as all of the old things did.

I love Audrey Hepburn in everything she did. I used to print out pictures of the clothes she wore in case I ever got skinny enough to make some in that style. Let's just say I still have the pictures - and none of the clothes!

Have a wonderful holiday season.

What a great post Diane! I loved reading your favorites, and lots of them are mine too!...I was in BJ's the other day and I thought of you when I spied two huge Gooseberry Patch books!
They were just about $20 a piece! Hugs, ;)

That is a great list of movies! I also really like -
Christmas Vacation.

Thank you for giving a link to my Blog on your post and for your kind words.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you Diane for all the blog tips...it's time to take a trip to them for sure! Hmmm...moveis at Christmas...I think my favorite is the old classics like Santa Claus is coming to town, Frosty and Rudolph. I could watch them over and over and over.

Isn't it just wonderful to visit new blogs. Before I realize it I have sat sometimes for a couple of hours just blog hopping. Sugar Pie Farmhouse is so fun. I will have to visit the Gooseberry Patch one. I love their books. They are fun to collect.

I would have to say I love Little Women, and do love all the versions from oldest to newest.

Top, top number one....has to be Bing in Holiday Inn!
I always love the newer version of Miracle on 34th Street with Richard Attenborough. My boys LOVE this movie and we would all snuggle up together with chocs and watch it as a family....oh happy sweet memories!
Thanks for such a happy post

Hello Just stopped by for a visit and to wish you a Very Happy Thanksgiving. Don't forget my chocolate drawing is sometime Friday.
I love your Christmas cards. I would have to say our family always watches the Christmas Story at least several times during the holidays.
Take care
Maggie
