Stuff and Things that Make Karyn Happy

[prosodic]

Just put in a big holiday order over at amazon.com:

2 CDs:

Autumn - George Winston
Wintersong - Sarah McLachlan

3 movies:

White Christmas (already have this on VHS, but love it so much I need it on DVD)
Miracle on 34th Street (1947 version with Natalie Wood)
A Christmas Carol (1984 version with George C. Scott)

So now I should be all set for Christmas.

Considering the major suck that comes with not getting any time off over the holidays, I need to load up on feel-good movies and music. Improving the quality of my life when I'm off work will make things more bearable.

Oh, and I have a big stack of unread books too, which always makes me happy. Three more just arrived from my editor:

Cassandra and Jane - Jill Pittkeathley
Pemberley Shades - D.A. Bonavia-Hunt
The Map Thief - Heather Terrell

Now...all we have to do is get the fireplace in working order, and I can happily spend my weekends in front of a fire with some wine (or tea) and some good reads.

That is the album that reminds me of Christmas when I was a child. It made me love Christmas music. That and "Its a Wonderful Life" always take me right back to my childhood.

Eddie loves "Wintersong" He's a huge Sarah McLachlan fan.

I grew up on Bing Crosby and Andy Williams. It's just not Christmas without them.
