It was suggested that we all might benefit from having the Rudolph Day post up earlier in the month so we can look over the categories and see if we have the movie, book, magazine, etc. or look out for them at our local library or book store. The 10th of the month sounded like enough notice so here we go for the first month, hosted by AuntJamelle:
January
Movie - The Bishops Wife
Book - Louisa May Alcott's Christmas Treasury (Collection of short stories by the author of Little Women)
Magazine - Any Southern Living Christmas issue!
Blog - Christmas Blog Hop starting wtih My 100 Year Old Home!
YouTube - How To Make a Door Wreath from Antique Books
Pinterest - Two More Book Page "Wreath" Ideas!
Check back here on the 25th and share your thoughts on January's categories. As always, substitutions are fine if you can't locate an item in the categories listed.
More detail on each category from AuntJamelle:
Movie - The Bishops Wife
Dejected by his efforts to raise money to build a cathedral, Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) beseeches heaven for guidance, and is visited immediately by Dudley (Cary Grant), who claims to be an angel. Henry is skeptical, then annoyed when Dudley ingratiates himself into the household as his assistant -- and worse, wins the attentions of Henry's long-suffering and kindly wife (Loretta Young). When Dudley continues to intervene in Henry's struggles, the bishop decides to challenge heaven.
Book - Louisa May Alcott's Christmas Treasury (Collection of short stories by the author of Little Women)
"The Quiet Little Woman" and "Kate's Choice," here gathers those tales along with 18 others to comprise a "Christmas treasury"-all of Alcott's known Christmas sketches in one volume. Some will be dearly familiar to readers; an excerpt from Little Women, for example, reminds us of the yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her four girls. Other touching stories are less well known, such as "What Love Can Do," about residents of a boarding house joining together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. (Poverty and Christmas charity are the themes that tie most of these stories together.)
I would check the library for this one!
