Season’s Greadings Tag
You don’t need to be tagged to participate.
Merry Christmas and Season’s Greadings!
1) Favorite book/s to read during the Holiday season?
Jacob T. Marley by R. William Bennett
`
`
`
`
2) Tell us your best Christmas memory.
`
My best Christmas memory would have to be Bran’s very first Christmas. Having a new baby in the house, especially after trying to get pregnant for six years, was pure magic! One of the things I remember the most from that year, though, was that Drollery didn’t know how to wrap a bra (apparently boxes had not yet been invented!), so he hung it on the little Donkey coat rack we’d gotten for Bran for the nursery, sitting by the tree. It’s right there in all the Christmas pictures for everyone to see! 😀
`
3) Favorite fictional winter wonderland?
`
The sets from the Christmas movie Fallen Angel with Gary Sinise and Joely Richardson. One of my few recent Christmas movie favorites.
`
`
`
4) Snow man or Snow Angel?
Neither. I’m definitely an indoor kind of girl. I wouldn’t mind a Ste. Chapelle Soft Red flavored snow cone, however. 😀
5) What is your all time favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?
White Christmas with Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Vera Ellen
`
`
““
`
`
6) If you could spend the Holidays anywhere (fiction or non-fiction,) where would you go?`
In the house from the movie Patriot Games.
`
7) Who would you like to meet under the mistletoe?
Tom Mison from the TV series Sleepy Hollow.
`
`
`
8) What is your favorite hot holiday drink?
` Hot Chocolate, of course!
9) What author from any time would you like to have a cup with?
Clive Cussler, author of the Dirk Pitt, NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency) adventure novels.
`
`
10) What book are you hoping Santa will bring you?
Far and Away by Sonja Massie

Who’s Tom Mison? I saw the movie Sleepy Hollow. Did Johnny Depp play the part? Wouldn’t mind meeting him under the Mistletoe 😉

Jonathan was six months old when he had his First Christmas, happy memories of a beautiful baby, David was six days old on that first Christmas and such a beautiful quiet little baby – they are the memories we hold close to our heart.

I have never read Jacob T. Marley, and I am so intrigued! All your answers were so great. Especially the memory, Baby’s are pure magic! I don’t know if I’ve seen Fallen Angel, but I’m going to look it up. Isn’t White Christmas the best! I never get sick of it, entertainment just isn’t what it used to be. I hope you get “Far and Away” it is an awesome book! Merry Christmas!

I’m so glad you mentioned that F&A had been written. I hope his lordship can get his hands on a used copy of it. White Christmas is playing on the big screen at a theater near us. Hope to make it to see it. We saw Miracle on 34th Street, the old one, last Sunday night. So much fun to see them up there again. Fallen Angel has a great story to it. I hope you like it. It was the first contemporary Christmas movie I’d liked in years. Well, except I really loved the Ghost of Christmas Present in Scrooged. I was on the floor at the movies I laughed so hard when she hit Bill Murray with the toaster. 😀

I only like the old Miracle on 34th street! I don’t think I’ve seen that one either, with Bill Murray, I’ll need to see if I can find it. 🙂

It was so interesting watching MO34thS and looking at all the things we’d consider politically incorrect today. Which is exactly why I hated the newer one. There’s nothing wrong with going back to that innocent time of life when you could actually pull a child up on your lap and cuddle them.
