It's hard to believe Christmas is just 3 days away, where did the year go? My special wish for all of you, is that you may survive the economic upheaval that we are going through. Those of us that have jobs, may you keep them, those who do not, may you find one. May you all have a safe and blessed holiday.

1951 Christmas Carol (can't seem to find it as others said below, just saw the 1938 one on Saturday
but I'd like to see the other) and It's a Wonderful Life.
Do you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or another holiday?
Christmas. This year a friend is hosting a Kwanzaa, So I'll go to that.
What is one of your most cherished memories of the holidays?
Mine actually revolve around Thanksgiving, since that is when I see the majority of my family.
I love getting up early with my youthful 85 year old grandmother and watching her cook and bake the entire dinner singlehandedly.
What are you doing and where will you be over the holidays?
At Mom's, having dinner, just a few of us this year, maybe only 3. We may get up early and ride the LIRR (train)
to Manhattan and see the Rockefeller Center tree and Macy's (et al) windows. We did it last year and it was a blast - no crowds if you go early!
Make a special wish for all of our posters this holiday season, and hopefully it will come true.
In addition to the peace, financial security and joy others have wished, I'd love for whoever has soldiers
abroad to be able to see them, safe and sound, over the holidays!
''Happy Christmas (or Hanukkah) to all and to all a good night!''
Thanks, amie! ag

It is sooo incredibly cold. Yesterday was -5 and that's not including the windchill. Today so far is only-1. You're lucky you're in Florida. You may not want to visit Chicago yet.
Is there a movie or T.V show I must see over the holidays? No, not really.
I celebrate Christmas.
What is one of the most cherished memories of the holidays? When I was a kid every year right after Christmas we would all go to Cleveland to see my grandparents on both sides, and other relatives out there. My parents were originally from Cleveland so I still have relatives out there. Anyway, those were good memories over the holidays. It was fun back then but not so much anymore but that's a long story. I'm not going this year. Last year was a disaster.
What am I doing and where will I be for the holiday season? I'll just be home with my family. It will be me, my parents. My two brothers and sister in law will be over. We'll probably play video games till it's time to eat and exchange gifts. It's fun.
Make a holiday wish for all the posters and hopefully it will come true. That they all have a fun safe holiday, ho ho ho!!

What is one of your most cherished memories of the holidays? This sounds kind of bad, but... one year I spent about 6 months in Pittsburgh on some work projects and was scheduled to leave around early November. Then near the end, another big project was added to the list and had to be finished before the year's end. I was already sick of being there and with winter weather coming it was not going to get any better. Well, about 5 long work weeks later, I got the $*&# out of there and home for Christmas. It made me really appreciate home, friends and family.
What are you doing and where will you be over the holidays? Charlotte, NC with family and friends.

Message: Is there a movie or TV show that you must see over the holidays? Christmas in Connecticut. But I see that I already missed it last week. We also try and watch Its A Wonderful Life (we got the DVD cause we hate all the commercials) and in bits and pieces we'll see The Christmas Story sometime over the 24 hours its on.

What is one of your most cherished memories of the holidays? having the whole family together on Christmas Eve... carrying on our family tradition... simple but special.
What are you doing and where will you be over the holidays? not much. Family comes to me on Christmas Eve for dinner. Going to brother's on Christmas Day and then 3 days off, 2 days back to work and then another 5 days off. No plans on NYE which is fine. NY Day going to a friends for buffet and on the 3rd, my mom is taking us all out to dinner for her birthday. I hope to relax, visit w/ friends, watch TV and eat - in no particular order! LOL

Hi Amie,
Is there a movie or TV show that you must see over the holidays? I used to watch 'It's A Wonderful Life' every year. I didn't have to plan it.....it would just be on and I would watch. Not so much anymore. I guess I'm over it. Do you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkh or another holiday? Christmas
What is one of your most cherished memories of the holidays? My Dad taking us to Krispy Kreme after church and then we could come home and open the rest of the presents.
What are you doing and where will you be over the holidays? My sister and brother -in-law will be staying with us, and we will go to MIL's house for dinner. But she is having pork instead of turkey this year, and I'm already disappointed.
Make a special wish for all of our posters this holiday season, and hopefully it will come true. I hope that everyone makes it through the year financially sound.
It's hard to believe Christmas is just 3 days away, where did the year go? My special wish for all of you, is that you may survive the economic upheaval that we are going through. Those of us that have jobs, may you keep them, those who do not, may you find one. May you all have a safe and blessed holiday.

What is one of your most cherished memories of the holidays? Going to bed as a child with not even a decoration in the house or the tree. Santa brought it all. Whoosh when we woke up it was magical. Oh the trouble my parents went through each Christmas Eve. Love them for it and God Bless them. Took my breath away each year.
What are you doing and where will you be over the holidays? My brothers will come here on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning we spend with Bitt's family then to my sister Teresa's. Then we all travel to my sister Helen's for Christmas dinner. Then on Saturday is our annual family dinner at Poopaloop's and to see this year's Yay Productions movie.
Make a special wish for all of our posters this holiday season, and hopefully it will come true. I wish health, wealth, happiness and peace!
