xmas inspiration

can it really only be one more week? (sad sigh)

regretfully, i've yet to feel the fa la la.

even with a tree that would resurrect liberace, boughs of holly decking my halls, and celine dion feliz navidad-ing me  every four hours on sirius radio (the only way french-canadien chanteuses can) i still can't get into the holiday humor.

usually a couple "o holy nights",

a whiff of belle fleur neroli pine,

and a few venti drips in the "special" cup

and i'm ready to ho ho ho.

but so far. bleh.

it's time to bring in hollywood.

the following films never fail to jingle my jolly buttons. i usually watch them on or the day before christmas. but you know what they say: desperate times call for cuter outfits!!

here are my best-loved holiday humdingers.

have to say.....just amassing the movies and links (click the images for film info) is getting me into a one horse open sleigh kinda mood.

have a ring-a-ling, hear them sing weekend friends.

Like Celine says...........

HH and the beasts started barking at me to stop, locked me out of the car, and refused to let me in until i promised to cease my homage to miss dion.i complied. but i must say, the ride was definitely not as fun. hmph. gobble gobble.
