It's not there much anymore with DVRs, DVDs, etc. Though we still try to create it by getting everything ready before we sit down with the lights off, popcorn and drinks nearby, to watch our favorites (The Santa Clause 2, The Grinch, etc).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the trip down memory lane.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885535675842229329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-60825581008027006252008-12-02T04:57:00.000-06:002008-12-02T04:57:00.000-06:00Yes, our movie collection keeps growing each year....Yes, our movie collection keeps growing each year.

Usually, we'd do the same thing here and try to catch these shows when they come on but this year we don't have tv service. So we'll be going to the library next week to see what kinds of Christmas movies we can find. ;)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395906581830016475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-14561424118344594282008-12-01T19:22:00.000-06:002008-12-01T19:22:00.000-06:00I already DVR'd tonights specials.I missed Charlie...I already DVR'd tonights specials.<BR/><BR/>I missed Charlie Brown Christmas, I think.
