Today is such an overcast day. It looks like it will snow, but so far nothing has fallen from the sky onto the lawn outside my window. Earlier this afternoon I decided to play a Christmas movie which I watch every year, "The Bishop's Wife" with Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young. It's a movie which was made in the 40's, but is still enjoyable today. I have about 4 or 5 old movies which I watch every year at Christmas. That's one of my traditions. I'm a "Romantic" at heart. There is the usual bit of romance in each of the movies. They are black and white pictures. Christmas remains my favorite holiday season. It still holds the magic for me that it did when I was a child. As I get older I think of those relatives who have left us and gone on to a better place. I miss them around Christmas. Christmas memories of them bring me comfort. I wish that our entire family could be together at some time this season, but that's not always possible. It would be great fun to see the "little ones", my great nephews and great niece. They live 7 hours away and that is not always possible. Thanks to Alexander Graham Bell and the computer we can "almost" be together.
I wonder which Christmas movie I'll watch next? Maybe "Christmas In Connecticut" with Dennis Morgan and Barbara Stanwyck.
