Blogmas Day 8: Christmas Movie Quotes

At time of typing, I can currently watching the original Miracle of 34th Street from 1947, which I'd never seen before.

'Oh Christmas isn't just a day, it's a frame of mind, and that's what keeps changing'

That quote jumped out at me... almost 70 years later, it's still pretty strong.

Christmas movies have some of my favourite movie quotes...

The Grinch is full of them

"Hate hate hate, double hate, LOATHE ENTIRELY"
"I myself am having some Yuletide doubts"
"Blast this Christmas music, it's joyful and triumphant"
"One man's toxic sludge, is another mans pot pouree, I dunno it's some kind of soup"

It's a Wonderful Life

"What do you want Mary, you want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a laso around it and bring it down, say, that's a pretty good idea, I'll give you the moon Mary"

"Atta boy Clarence"

Flint Street Nativity
"She's not Mary, I'm gonna be Mary"
"Go on, dares ya"

Muppet Christmas Carol
"Mother always taught me, never eat singing food"

Home Alone
"Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal"

Elf

"Santa!!! Sandra's coming! I know him! I KNOW HIM!"
"Buddy the Elf, what's your favourite colour?"

Those are just a few of my faves.

Tomorrow, a Christmas night out!

I'm Grateful For: Autumn Joys

I did it again, I went nearly a whole year without posting anything, because I'm rubbish. If you're new here, I do this. If you're not new, you know this. I have no real excuse this year - last year was the year of opposites, I had a lot on at work, my mother and father in law died 21 days apart, I got married four months later, there was grief, there was a Canadian honeymoon, there was stuff going on. I'd be lying if I said this year had been smooth sailing, but there's been more of a sense of calm. I get to autumn and I get all airy fairy and contemplative, it's no longer about making it through the year, it's, as my boss beautifully put it this week, limping towards Christmas. Years ago, and about three blogs ago - if you can be bothered scrolling far enough through the archive I've uploaded here - I used to write happy lists of all the things that made me happy, because I was a bit like Joy from inside out - happy because happy and even when it...

Quirky Reads: The Joy of No

It might be February already but I said I wanted to read more books this year than I did last year so here is my musings on the first book I've finished reading this year! Quick Review Genre(s): Self Help/Motivation Who Wrote It: Summerdale Publishers Did I Dig It?: Heck yeah! 2 Second Summary: Some sound advice on saying no. Quirky Queen Rating: 👑 👑👑👑👑 5 out of 5 Crowns from me on this occasion. Every once in a while I need a reminder that saying no is not only acceptable, but necessary. I also read it while my neighbour was having carpets fitted and it distracted me from the loud hammering! Extended Musings I think I've mentioned before that I struggle when it comes to saying no. I'm aware of the word's existence and can use it, I just don't like doing it. While reading through some of the advice in this book, I found myself nodding along at alot of the section titles because I struggle saying no in those situations. My biggest problem...

Morning cup of nonsense

I’m forty-ish minutes into my working day, I’m not dressed yet, my curly hair has succumbed to bedhead and needs washed and I’m still wearing my muppets pyjama top. However, my morning cup is filled with caffeine and enough flavour that I can’t taste the coffee, so I decided it was time for a blog! Here we! I was reading an email the other day - I always read mailing list/marketing & comms emails as I know a Rachie somewhere has worked on that and that the stats will help whether I’m a converted to end goal reader or not. Anyhusan, it was about how to get buy in from colleagues for your work and to be honest, I don’t think that’s as big a struggle as getting buy in from myself. I am forever telling myself not to try things, not to suggest things, not to experience things. And why? Because it might not work? Because someone might think it is or I am rubbish? So what? Other people try things and it doesn’t work - generally speaking, no bad thing happens. So what’s st...
