This is the perfect Christmas gift to your friends with kids! Like me that have probably read "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" too many times to count and the rhythm has become so ingrained that if they walk at the right place they could start reciting the book. Kudos to these fictional parents, if I did their pub crawl I would be sloshed enough to think I saw a bear too!

Movie Favorite

"It’s very hard for me to pick a favorite Douglas Sirk movie, but ultimately it’s this one, a sumptuous tearjerker with Sirk’s signature cultural critique. The moment when Jane Wyman, after sacrificing her own happiness for her children, receives a television set as a Christmas gift in lieu of their presence shatters me every time. No one understood melodrama like Sirk, or how to sharpen it into the dagger it’s meant to be."

Album Favorite

"I bought it when I was eight in John Menzies in Edinburgh using a record token I'd got for Christmas. ""Madness were this really exciting band who mademe want to jump around. It's stood the test of time and is still a great record. ""It felt great to own my first album and was a responsibility too. Before then I'd only had a bunch of 7in singles and an old Dansette record player."

A fantastically festive romance (3 more)
The perfect book to read as the festivities begin
Cassie Smith is a great leading character
Reading about lapland made it all the more enjoyable
As with all Carole Matthews books, I found myself clinging to every page drawn in by Cassie Smith and her new venture and the up and downs it would bring to her.
For me personally, I found the obvious research for characters and locations and consequence details used within the book, made it even more appealing and heartfelt to read and certainly added to my overall enjoyment and high rating for Calling Mrs Christmas.
This is a book I could read again and again and I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a festive read with some fun-filled, heartwarming Christmas spirit.

The dog went on the picnic basket!
The Griswolds!

Everyone's favorite adventurous family embarks on their inaugural journey together to go see Wallyworld in California and encounters creepy annoying relatives and all sorts of unsavory characters along the way.

I once had a long discussion with someone about which was better, the first Vacation or Christmas Vacation, this one being my favorite of the bunch. The family dynamic on the open road, for me, was slightly more entertaining than Christmas at home with the relatives which is also still a lot of fun.

Seemed like a liked the introduction of Randy Quaid, John Candy, Christy Brinkley and Imogeen Coca and just thought it was a lot of fun waiting to see what happened next.

I read recently that this qualifies as the most accurate on-screen representation of the Charles Dicken's classic, in that it is the film that sticks closest to the plot and that uses the most actual quotations from the source.

Not as in the characters are nearly all played by Muppets.

Michael Caine, also, does a pretty good Scrooge, playing it as serious as a heart attack whilst the usual Muppety mayhem goes on around him - Kermit the Frog is Bob Cratchitt, Miss Piggy (of course) Mrs Cratchitt, whilst Gonzo provides the narration (as Charles Dickens) alongside Rizzo the rat.

The tale itself, of the ghosts who visit Scrooge on Christmas Eve (most famously the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future), and convince him to change his ways, is timeless.
