Happy Thanksgiving, to everyone who practices it! This isn’t going to be a particularly elaborate Thanksgiving for our family, just spending some family time with my husband and our son, but I’m grateful nonetheless for the opportunity to do so. Even if you don’t live in the United States, I hope all of you can find some time to think about what you’re thankful for!
Merry Christmas and Very Happy Holidays!
I hope that all of you who celebrate it have a wonderful Christmas, and everyone has a very happy end of the year!
I’m fortunate to be spending the holiday not only with my husband and son who both live here in San Antonio, but also with my daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter who are all visiting from the Washington D.C. area.
I hope all of you have a very happy holiday and a festive new year!
One Special Night – A Non-mystery Christmas Movie
Ok, ok, I know that I should only “talk” about mystery books and mystery movies, however, this 1999 movie is one I remember seeing years ago. (I’m not sure if it was the year it was released or not…) Unfortunately, it is only available to Prime members. For those of you who aren’t Prime members, I’m sorry…
In 1999 James Garner and Julie Andrews got together for the third time. The Turner Classic Movies channel has shown their 1964 movie The Americanization of Emily several times recently – which I DVR-ed, watched, and enjoyed (again!). The Turner Classic Movies channel has also shown their second endeavor together – the 1982 movie Victor/Victoria – which is another really good movie. The third time they worked together is in this very touching Thanksgiving/Christmas movie, One Special Night. (The action starts at Thanksgiving and goes on to Christmas.) One Special Night was a movie from a time when television channels were making movies that could be seen by everyone – quite unlike all of the movies that the different streaming channels are making now – for just their streaming customers.
One Special Night is based on Jan Hartman’s play A Winter Visitor. Obviously, it is not based on a romance between two 20 or 30 year old characters.
If you’ve seen it already, let us know what you think of One Special Night, and if you haven’t seen it, try to watch it. I love this movie, and will probably watch it again – and possibly again…
P.S. I’m not “talking” about the plot since I don’t want to give anything away…
Happy Easter!
I know it’s a bit late, but Happy Easter! I don’t have a whole lot more to say today, but I still wanted to take a few moments to say that I hope everyone is having a good Spring so far and is enjoying the holiday, if you observe it, or just a good day either way!
