December Down Time?

Below is a list of my favourite Christmas movies.
Each proves the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit.
Each confirms that the potential for greatness lives within each of us.
I love them.


PRANCER
starring Sam Elliott, Rebecca Harrell, Cloris Leachman
1989



A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES
starring Denholm Elliott, Mathonwy Reeves, Glynis Davies
1987




MIRACLE ON 34 TH STREET
starring Maureen O'Hara, Natalie Wood, John Payne
1947






A CHRISTMAS CAROL
starring George C. Scott, Edward Woodward, David Warner
1984




KINGS COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE, CHRISTMAS
broadcast every Christmas Eve
(not a movie, but certainly full of power and greatness)


Then between Christmas and New Year's try . . . 

DEAN SPANLEY
2008





These movies are available on YouTube or through iTunes.

Hi, it's Kristen from Knitionary about those chairs: I just heard back from my gf and she said she bought them 17 years ago at a small shop in Petaluma, CA which is no longer there. They have since been recovered and she doesn't know the manufacturer either! Sorry we can't be of more help!

I'm going to have to watch Dean Stanley, never heard of it but I like those actors!
