Anyone remember what advert that version of Carol of the Bells was used in, i think it was a supermarket but cant remember? Don’t remember it in Home Alone which is one of those films i never think is any good but always enjoying watching.  Is it Kevin he is running home to prepare all the traps for the crooks coming in?

It’s the cattle prod that does it for me! I love 1:56-ish.

I think i’ve only ever seen the first film the whole way thru. Found the sequel poor so turned over and the thought of the others is horrifying.

There’s a fifth?!!! Oh Mother Nature’s Son say it ain’t so. 

Have read the plot summary and it sounds like the film from hell:

Finn Baxter and his family move from California to Maine to their new house. Finn is terrified and believes the house is haunted. While he sets up traps to catch the “ghost”, his parents get stranded across town and Finn is home alone with his sister. Their house is targeted by 3 thieves.

I’ve never seen any of them. The plot of 1 already sounded like crap to me.

 

After all these years, I still really love the Muppet’s version of a Christmas Carol. I’ve seen that movie like what, 10 times? And I could still watch it and enjoy it this year. Anyway, I’m curious what films will be on. Last year there were only 2 Christmas films on and I had seen them both. A bit disappointing.

I really need to make some other different ones. When I redesigned the site I only had time to do one normal banner and the Christmas one, but I can add a few more which will appear randomly. Glad you like the Christmas one!

Can buy me love! Please consider supporting the Beatles Bible on Amazon

I like the Christmas pics too, Joe.

Last week I went to YouTube and looked up an animated special I grew up watching called Twas the Night Before Christmas. It’s not Christmas until I hear “Christmastime Is Calling Santa.”

 

 

 

…or The Carpenters’ “Merry Christmas Darling,” but that’s unrelated.

My wife and I love this one! As she loves mice and Christmas, this one is a ‘must watch’ for us over the holidays.

Yeah, but they just fuel the “Paul Is Dead” myth – Paul’s hat hangs on our right, the rest hang on our left.

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

ERMAHGERD THAT’s TRUE! It must be a sign, a clue! 

 

Over the weekend I’ve been quite busy decorating and kind of fabricated some things myself, which look pretty cool, even though I say so myself. We bought a bare wreath, made of some sort of wood, and put a chain with very small lights through it and some red berries and wooden stars. Looks cool and gives some kind of Scandinavian effect. Also, we’ve got quite a tall vase next to the television, and we bought tall red glitter branches, branches with cottonballs on them and off white branches with little lights all over them. I’ve put them together and it just works. I’ve also put together the usual Christmas village on the cupboard, with the little plastic or stone houses with lights on and in them, fake little trees, even little lanterns that have lights in them. And of course some figurines of people walking around or making a snowman or whatever. This is all made on fake snow. Some people probably think it’s very kitsch but I love it.

 

The other decorations look good as well, the only thing I’m not very pleased with is the Christmastree. I don’t know what it is though.

Sounds awesome – any chance of posting a pic?
