really. i could watch them all year long - so this is a special treat. tonight i’m taking stephen to watch a christmas story at the angelika theater. angelika has been doing special free showings of holiday-themed movies.
now, i have to confess that i don’t really get this particular movie, it is definitely not my fave, but stephen loves it so i will give it a try…again =)
but i am most looking forward to next monday when they show home alone … now that is a classic!
what’s your favorite christmas movie?

i have never been happier to live downtown than i am right now. holiday season is the best! tonight they are unveiling the neiman marcus holiday tree and windows, and shortly after they will light the official downtown holiday tree in pegasus plaza.
here is some more information from the downtown dallas site:
Neiman Marcus Downtown and City of Dallas are thrilled to host another exciting year of City Lights on Friday, November 14, 2008! Join us beginning at 6:30 p.m. for this street-wide extravaganza and kick off the holidays Downtown, in the heart of Dallas. Festivities begin at Neiman Marcus Downtown, 1618 Main Street, then extend throughout surrounding streets all night.
On this special evening, the grand spectacle of the legendary lighting of Neiman Marcus Downtown extends throughout the Main Street District.

In addition, the Downtown holiday tree will be lit at Pegasus Plaza (Main @ Akard) by special musical guest, Eddie Coker!
Throughout the evening attendees are encouraged to shop with promenades led by street performers, and enjoy extended holiday hours and in-store promotions at each participating retail and restaurant location. At 7 pm, Neiman Marcus Downtown will light the store and unveil the Neiman Marcus Holiday Windows and one-of-a-kind Holiday Tree, the ideas of which have been in secret vaults for months…then keep an eye out for a special visitor from the North Pole, who will most certainly steal the show!
