HOLIDAYS+MOVIES// LIFESTYLE

HOW ABOUT A MOVIE?

 I admit I love movies and really enjoy watching them  when its Christmas time. Its the absolute best
part (after dinner or present openings) As custom in some parts of Europe Christmas dinner and gift opening is done on the 24th , unlike America .  So after the festivities are over its time to stretch out and watch some movies.   Or to get in to the mood watch some before.
Here are some movies that we have always watched  and I adore them all.
  • First off, THE Grinch ,the new one is out in theatres  but I still like to see the original one from the 60s   So who else likes the Grinch  hands up?
  • Another one that makes me smile is Charlie Browns Christmas,  Lucy and Charlie, Linus and the gang are so adorable and make Christmas a very special time.
  • POLAR EXPRESS  a delight to watch.
  • PENGUINS adorable movie even for the big kids. 
  • A good laugh is what we all need, after the hectic rush to get things ready. So the Home Alone film is truly a hilarious film. I am sure you have all seen it, right? 
  • Another not so heard of film that  i can say will make you smile and giggle is one with Ralphie and his family,  A typical family life  and the all the funny things that happen at that time of year. Truly hilarious.  A CHRISTMAS STORY is made for this time of year
  • What is Christmas without snow! A very touching movie with  a boy and his grandpa sharing his story of how Christmas was when he was a young boy. Its based on the poem of Dylan Thomas - A CHILDS CHRISTMAS IN WALES.
  • The classics and nothing is more classic then Charles Dickens, A CHRISTMAS CAROL:
  • There are several versions  two of my favourites  are the ones with Alastair Simms or George C Scott. Both are worth watching.
  • FRENCH films and any with Catherine Deneuve are worth watching. A CHRISTMAS TALE,  (Un conte de Noel)  subtitles . A family gathering at Christmas with a twist.  love Catherine always and  the french humor!



 There are several others that are really good from a musical White Christmas to the famous  Miracle on 34th street .  .

 What are some of your favourites ? I could always add a new film to my list.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

 POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months.  One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face  when it’s windy outside.  It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days .  A pop of color is nice to see during the winter  season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice.  The Accessories .  I love to add a few accessories also.  Bracelets add a little interest to the look .  The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good  , as well as the multi twist bracelet.  Ps  The photo does not show the true color .  It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull .  After a few retakes no change.  Camera issues.
