Even though "A Wonderful Life" and the movie "A Christmas Carol" are a bit dark at times, they did not strike terror in me. And, there were no visceral reactions on my part.
The only redeeming point was that it was on my 32" TV, not on a theater screen! I would have been really undone if I were watching any place but from the safety of my bed.
If my children were small and had been with me in a theater, I would have left, taking them with me. What was the movie?
"The Polar Express" When that train plunged into the icy water, I felt like I was going to drown. Who ever makes a movie like this for children? I do understand the theory that children learn from movies, stories, that frightening things are not always doom. But, this scared me beyond what I thought I was able to bear. At times I could barely breathe!
Did you think that "Polar Express" was excessively frightening and out of line for little ones? Have you ever found any Christmas movie frightening? Do tell.
Friday, it was 69F degrees here and at midnight, it was still 59F! It is unseasonably warm right now. But, I hear the weather will cool off a bit this week. We have a hard time keeping the temp where we are comfortable. Even though we keep it set for 63F, we need to bump it up a degree in the daytime because it is damp feeling in here. At night, when it is 67F and stifling, even Tommy needs the ac on!
Yesterday, I finally got bananas after even going two times to get them...lol. I may eat a couple of extra ones today to catch up.
So, I must go to finish and mail Christmas cards. Did not finish. sigh
