We love watching it. My husband and I made the leg lamp for our neighbor. We found a leg model used in stores for hosiery sales at a garage sale for $3. So much fun sneaking around making it in the workshop. I had a hard time finding the stocking for it...anybody need one fish net stocking and one of the high heels? LOL..J.Q.

I saw it in Wal Mart on a TV and started crying because of a traumatic time in our life dealing with my husbad's health.Then there is The Muppets version of A Christmas Carol that is sweet. The one with Tim Allen as Santa Claus is good. I like a lot of movies but we don't have any particular tradition of watching them. Probably because except for when we were in Germany and Hawaii we were always traveling for Christms with his family and mine. Never more than a few hours but we never watched movies.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983209367295987926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-65586862409960519942011-11-29T20:43:31.001-06:002011-11-29T20:43:31.001-06:00I know another little girl who loved sneaking over...I know another little girl who loved sneaking over from her grandmother's house on Christmas Eve to watch White Christmas with you.

My eyes tear up just thinking about Jim Backus singing I'm all alone in the world. Another Frank Capra classic I like maybe even more than It's A Wonderful Life is Meet John Doe. Frank Capra's movies always go straight to my heart. Thanks for the post.
