I cry like a baby from the minute Scrooge buys that outrageous turkey to the final "I'm going to have Christmas dinner with my family." Watching this movie ushers in my holiday spirit and is one of my favorite traditions. Is it because I grew up singing these songs so they are all embedded in my idealized childhood psyche? Is it because the Scrooge is perfect, the music jolly and the energy infectious? Is it because I love the themes of redemption and joyful living?
YES!
Let the holidays begin, and God bless us, every one!
Gary and I (Mindy Hunter Larsen) have been married for 19 years now, and have survived 15 moves, 3 (almost 4)post-high school degrees (BYU, UCLA, UL), three kids, stressful job switches, a catering business, four trips to Europe, being robbed in Charlotte, NC, and approximately 2,293 stinky diapers. (Mostly Spencer's... he was one poopy little dude!) We are hanging in there and enjoying every minute of our wonderful life in spite of the chaos! Gary is a professor at BYU-Idaho and I run the household and teach dance in our clogging studio. It's in our barn behind the house - very Idaho. We love it here! Even the winters are fun because the kids love playing in (and eating!!!) the snow.
