My favorite Christmas movie ever. My dad had me quoting lines when I was very young. And to this day I still pronounce fragile like they do in the movie.
With as much dignity as he could muster, the Old Man gathered up the sad remains of his shattered Major Award. Later that night, alone in the backyard, he buried it next to the garage. Now I could never be sure, but I thought that I heard the sound of "Taps" being played, gently.
This will be my Christmas Movie of the Day for today...thanks for the smile.
"Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master. But, I chickened out and said the first name that came to mind."
My kids were off school yesterday for a snow day, and my 16 year old stepdaughter was taunting me at work, by watching it and texting lines to me!! She got the Ralphie in the bunny suit ornament this year. And, for some reason, she was wearing too many layers on Monday, and walking into school from her car, she kept saying "I can't put my arms down!!"
