Great Movies

We got behind a bit in our Netflix and got two Christmas movies a bit late. Both were fantastic. One was called Joyeux Noel, a movie about a true Christmas Eve during WWI where French, Scottish, and German soldiers celebrated Christmas together across the battlefield. It's in English, French and German and you have to read subtitles some of the time. Excellent movie and worth watching any time of the year. The other one was called Christmas Story. It's made in Finland and is the story of Nicholas, aka Santa Claus from the time he's a boy to adulthood, filmed in Lapland with all the snow, reindeer, and gorgeous views of Lapland. It was dubbed in English, but we also watched a little film about how they made it. Really great movie, really worth watching. I think they both might join our favorites.

The snow stopped in the night and so we just got an inch or so. I still had to play ride 'em cowboy to get up the driveway. Well... you have to take a running start to make it up. Yeee-ha!

Ah snow, ain't fun?
