I don't know if I'm more pleased by the absence of Elf or the inclusion of Alastair Sim's Scrooge (which is a Christmas Eve tradition around the spacious CT studio.

For some twisted reason, I would add Home Alone to my list, and Mrs. DaBlade still enjoys the cartoons.DaBladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160781062081889980noreply@blogger.com
