12!

365. Next year is a Leap Year.

Celebrate with a Hugh Grant "Love Actually" dance to the Pointer Sisters' "Jump"

Yes, do it exactly as Grant did it (i.e. joyfully), and then bitch to the whole world how much you hated doing it.

I spent my late afternoon and evening watching movies.

I rewatched "After the Thin Man", the second in the series, and the one in which Jimmy Stewart has a very strong role.

I have just finished watching "A Room With A View", a movie of which I never tire!

It is now my bedtime.

[John G.]

A Room with a View rules.

[John G.]

Play Dirty was a waste of time.

[John G.]

Starting Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. The stop-motion animation is beautiful.

[John G.]

But I am fading. I doubt I will watch much tonight.

Today, the family and Shelly are going to my sister's.  My niece's other grandma and aunt and uncle will be joining.  We'll just have some finger foods and desserts, I think.  No formal (or even formal-ish) sit down dinner.  Just a lot of nothing and chatting.

We had bagels and cream cheese and smoked salmon and various salads and goat cheese and fruit spreads, and Shelly made chocolate mousse!  It was all quite delish. 

[George]

We all just ate and chatted and watched a silent video of a fireplace on the big screen TV.  A very festive time was had by all!

[George]

And no Phase 10 was played.

[George]

Wow!  Page 12!  I have a lot of posts to ketchup on!

[George]

A Room with a View rules.

It's one of my sister's favorite movies!  I saw a musical version in Seattle that was quite enjoyable.  I hope it continues on and more people get to see it.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

That's really cute!

[George]

Good night, all.

Good night, John.

I'd like a piece of that cake.

Very nice!

And, not to let our dog lovers be left out...

Cool!  Is that wrapping paper?

Alice Parker, dean of American choral music, died yesterday at 98. She was closely associated with Robert Shaw in the early days.

My DH just spoke to her about a week ago.

Oh, no.  But 98 years old...and talk about timing.  Your DH at least got to speak with her before she died.

Gratuitous Post #350!

Sweet!

I had no idea how many things were open on Christmas Day - I got waters from CVS and have been drinking some - hasn't seemed to help at all.

Ray Faiola, of Chelsea-Rialto studio which has preserved many classic film scores, offered this wonderful Christmas suite conducted by Max Steiner with the Warner Brothers Orchestra.

Nice.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

That's great, Jane!

It sounds like a relaxing way to spend the day.

It was quite relaxing.

Today would have been the 96th birthday of Keith's uncle who passed away in April.  This is the husband of the aunt who we just lost.

From DR George:

People can read and review books because they get Advance Reader Copies...as long as they actually read the books and review the actual books.

Yes, and those reviews state the fact that they received an advance copy.  It is those that obviously haven't read the book that should have their reviews removed, or at least their ratings.

Agreed!

[George]

Nice family gathering photo from DR George last night.

Thanks, Jane.

[George]

singdaw - Lovely cat Christmas drawings!

Totally agree!
