that actually make me laugh and bring back a lot of personal memories ...

A Christmas Story - I grew up in the 40s and 50s and there are so many elements of this movie that I experienced from those times. I also loved Darren McGavin in this.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - absolutely zany story with SNL alum Chevy Chase at his finest, albeit with some heartwarming moments

My children - and theirs - still love the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special with Burl Ives, although my youngest grandson's favorite character is the "Bumble."

This year I am most thankful that I am not waking up in the hospital after Xmas Eve surgery (breast cancer), which was the case in 2014.

Peace and love to you!
