12-22 18:59
Godwinshelley:
I’m surprised you aren’t knee deep in Christmas concerts
12-22 18:59
Santa_Steve:
Since I live in a retirement complex, we will be watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Christmas Day.
12-22 19:00
hounder:
cool steve
12-22 19:00
Godwinshelley:
That is a good one Steve – I like how they downplay the whole hooker aspect of Gloria Grahams character
12-22 19:00
Mike n Rachel in DC:
No concerts at school, and Mike doesn’t get Christmas gigs (no clarinets usually). Rachel has a Christmas eve gig…trumpets are big on Christmas and Easter
12-22 19:01
Godwinshelley:
Ugh – some bass horn used to practice for hours on end above my office at the Peabody when it was near Christmas
12-22 19:01
Mike n Rachel in DC:
LOL. Dulcet sounds…
12-22 19:02
Rush:
12-22 19:02
Mike n Rachel in DC:

12-22 19:03
Godwinshelley:
Steve – I recommend “It Happened on 5th Ave” as another great Christmas movie – it’s starting on TCM RIGHT NOW
That’s the BEAN in Chicago
12-22 19:03
Mike n Rachel in DC:
We just got back from Chi. Missed the bean, though.
12-22 19:03
hounder:
that is a good ond gs
12-22 19:04
Santa_Steve:
I was thinking of showing The Lemon Drop Kid with Bob Hope. It has a holiday theme.
12-22 19:04
Rush:
People call it “The Bean.” It is actually named “cloud Gate” by artist Amish Kapoor.
12-22 19:04
Godwinshelley:
Steve that’s my favorite Christmas movie – it has Silver Bells sung by William Frawley
12-22 19:04
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Looks like a UFO
William Frawley? Fred Mertz?
12-22 19:04
Santa_Steve:
From the photograph, it looks like something from a ’50s sci-fi film.
12-22 19:05
Godwinshelley:
Yes
12-22 19:05
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Worth watching just to see that!
12-22 19:05
Rush:
Yes, Mike! It was sort of dicconcerting standing near it! Sort of an organ icky shaped house of mirrors.
12-22 19:06
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Can you go inside it? Or is it just to be “admired” from outside?
12-22 19:06
Godwinshelley:
When should we start our features
12-22 19:06
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Looks like about 9 min to showtime
12-22 19:06
