Watch It!

Here is a list of all of the Christmas movies/specials that will be on TV through the Christmas season. I know that ABC Family has been playing them already. Lifetime will start their nightly Christmas movies on December 1st.

Along with these, our family will definitely be watching:

*Polar Express (a Caroline Graham FAVORITE)
*Little House on the Prairie Christmas at Plum Creek and A Christmas They Never Forgot (I LOVE both of these episodes. Especially the first one when Halfpint buy that stove for Ma. When Ma discovers that Laura bought it for her, it gets me every time!)
*Little Women (the version with Elizabeth Taylor. This is a great movie!)
*ELF (just thinking about it already makes me laugh.)
*White Christmas (A Reber Girls Favorite)
*Holiday Inn (ditto)
*Meet Me In St. Louis (again, ditto!)
*The Nativity (this movie gives me and Roy chills!)
*Christmas Vacation (Because you just have to watch this movie each Christmas)

What movies/TV Specials do you look forward to watching?

I just cannot watch the Little House episodes right now. They make me cry too much! But to the rest I say, Yippppppeeeeeee! Bring it!

Oh,Oh,Oh! Don't forget the "Dolly video." Harry Jack and Margaux are watching that right now and have been watching it for a week now--religiously!

FYI bloggers. Go to ebay and search Kids Sing Christmas Video. Or click and paste this to your web browser. http://cgi.ebay.com/Kids-Sing-Christmas-VHS_W0QQitemZ270306990846QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVHS?hash=item270306990846&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318.

Yes, our little Dolly girl is in this Christmas video, at the cute little age of 10??? Actually my Dad and Donna have a cameo too.

Sorry Dolly, your video is currently selling for 99 cents.

Me again--board waiting for My Love to come home from church so we can eat some lunch.

Anyway, Dolly. You need to do a update on your blog. You should do a post about your video. You know, all the "in's" and "outs" about being a big star and shooting a major motion VHS like this one. Oh, and don't forget to tell about the Kraft Food Services.

Little Women is one of my all time favorites, I saw it like 4 times in the theatre, and that is how Josie got her name.

I am like Denise, what about Dolly's Christmas Debut! That is a classic. i even like watching that one. And doesn't your Dad have a scene in that too, with a nice Christmas sweater?

Some other of my favorites are the Santa Claus, PRANCER (gotta love), and Miracle on 34th street!

I'm talking about real movies, Denise and Cissie! No, don't worry, the "Dolly Video" has already been watched a few times this year already. Caroline even knows the hand gestures of the songs. That is a True Reber Classic.

I have the Little House one you were talking about on DVD. Peyton and I watch it every year. I know these aren't "real" movies, but we watch the first 2 Home Alone movies every year. The kids love them and crack up. It's funny you did a post on this- I had just printed off the ABC Family December schedule two days ago.

Good List Donna!

How's the Elf on a Shelf going?

Dolly said...

Yes, the "Dolly video" is a good one for sure. I'm quoting lines in my head right now. "Amy and I made cookies. Everyone sit down and we'll give you some." People, this video went GOLD! It's a must see and has great reviews.

My personal FAV Christmas movie is "It's a WOnderful LIfe". It gets me down deep every time! LOVE IT!

It's a Wonderful Life. I still cry at the end, and I've probably seen it a hundred times.

Miracle on 34th St! We watched Charlie Brown Christmas tonight while decorating the tree. We also whipped out the Grinch that Stole Christmas but it doesn't really do much for AP.
