We're off to Venice again so Christmas day will be spent on the roof garden of the Danielli avoiding the floods!


oh lucky you!

If I could do anything it would be a remote hideaway cottage by the ocean, with my family and of course a turkey roast on christams day - but thats not going to happen so just glad to be with my family :D

Just found out the Christmas Radio Times should be in shops from Tuesday next week. This makes me stupidly excited.

I was going to say that I have never seen this film and was thinking of hunting a copy down to watch this christmas...now I don't have to. That link version is much shorter, thus allowing more time to eat and drink, and has the added advantage of featuring comic bunnies.

It's A Wonderful Life is a great film, timeless, sure it gets a bit cheesy near the end but it's pretty dark for most of it.

Its a Wonderful Life - should be enjoyed in a relaxed slow pass mode, along with a comfy sofa, the fire on, candles, a cosey lit room and a glass of quality red, a box of tissues, and someone you love cuddled next to you.. you cant skimp on it...

it is my ALLTIME favoutie film

take time to enjoy it with all the leasure and space and time you can find!

By the way, I've started phase one of my office xmas decorations. My tree is also up, but I can't start decorating it until my lights have come back from PAT-Testing (doh), which should be later this afternoon. I wish I could take a photo to show you all, but I'm not allowed!!

as much as I like Christamas I cant stand the office stuff espcially at Xmas - so false, I dont want to buy presents and do the jolly thing with people I work with who are not my friends - even though they all seem to love each other - I am a meer bystander of such back patting - drives me insane grrrrrrrrr why dont they just donate the money to the homeless who will be glad of a warm blanket and hot meal over the Xmas period! I dont buy xmas cards - I think theyre a waste of money!

oh a bit of humbug creeping out of me ! I am scared !! ; )

My Favourite Christmas film is:

Alien

Alright, it isnt a christmas themed film, but still great watching and timeless.......
