Drabble by Kevin Fagan for December 02, 2024

Touché

True story: When they wrapped production on CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT, Preston Sturges said to Fred McMurray “It’s been a pleasure working with you!” McMurray replied “I wish I could say the same about you, but it wasn’t.”

They have got the biggest dab gern CHRISTmas lights I’ve ever seen

She’ll enjoy it more than him.

I’m so glad that I’m not him.

21st

She would be one of those people at Disney World that has every single step planned out…

I love that movie!

One of my favorites along with the original “The Bishop’s Wife” with Cary Grant, David Niven and Larraine Day.

“Mall”? What’s a “mall”?

I live in Connecticut, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that movie. I’m sure it must be famous, though.

Of course, Drabble could always read something while the rest of the family is watching TV…nah, what was I thinking?

Well, I guess I should begin to think about getting the decorations out…

House decorated, less than 6 month old Samsung 77 in TV on the fritz, so no TV. Once they repair it I’ll break out Muppet Christmas Carol. That’s about the only Christmas program I like any more. Local radio station starts 24/7 Christmas music two week prior to Thanksgiving and stores have all Christmas items out on display prior to Halloween. By the time Christmas gets here I am sick of it.

My favorite Christmas movie is “Opus and Bill a Wish for Wings that Work”

Reminds me a bit of Dr. Steve Finch (Matthew Broderick) with his Advent calendar in the 2006 movie “Deck The Halls” with Danny Devito.

with all that’s going on in that household, i’d be drinking way more than the tree! (NOT water!!!)

the day after the tree is drinking something else just to deal with the craziness of the holidays

Ralph is planning ahead.

Right now Ralph is wishing he had his man cave with his own TV.

The Nightmare Before Christmas, Polar Express and A Charlie Brown Christmas for me in any order.

Here, between Miracle on 34th Street and Holiday Inn.

and what day will Honeybunch hit the ceiling when Ralph eats all the Christmas cookies

The best Christmas pageant ever?

New Christmas music, new snacks, new movies, new books, and new wrapping paper. Experience new Christmas each December 25th. New tree ornaments is another one. If you can’t buy or borrow it, make it yourself.

We have movies traditions, but it’s insanity to plan out every day. Of course, we are talking about June Nutbag….

Not familiar with that movie. But, I do remember Fred MacMurray (My Three Sons TV show)
