First of all, here's my review for Moana 2, which I saw on Tuesday. Yes, I did enjoy it...mostly, anyway. Find out more at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog!
Got a quick start this morning with breakfast and Charlie & Lola. Lola keeps begging her brother "How Many Minutes Until Christmas?," even when they're opening the doors on an advent calendar. She's upset when her letter to Santa gets mixed up with her card to Lotta, and then when her grandparents can't come...but the worst comes when they can't find the door in the calendar for Christmas Day. They create their own, then imagine themselves in the North Pole, helping Santa when he runs out of wrapping paper.
Rushed out after that and just barely got to work on time. That was the worst thing that happened all day. We were quiet in the morning and when I left. It did pick up during the noon rush hour, but by the time of the evening rush hour, I was finishing. I was alone for my first couple of hours, but had help from the afternoon bagger after 1 AM. It also remains bitterly cold and clouded up later in the day, though the wind has since vanished.
I had a few Christmas gift cards I wanted to pick up after work that I intend to send out in the mail this week. I needed gloves for work, too, and a warm headband to wear when I ride my bike (my hats are too thick to work under my bike helmet). Grabbed a Christmas present for my nephew Collyn as well, along with more of those pumpkin spice sandwich cookies on the bakery clearance rack.
Went straight in the shower when I got home, then had dinner while watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in honor of its 60th anniversary this year. I went further into this at my Musical Dreams blog way back in December 2018.
Since I was doing Rankin-Bass, I ran one of their later animated specials next. I went further into their underrated animated version of A Christmas Carol, The Stingiest Man In Town, at Musical Dreams in December 2020.
Worked on the Seasonal Inventory while the cartoons were on. I did albums for spring, summer, and the first two for Halloween. The two Columbia Records spring collections go back the furthest. I'm pretty sure I found The Music of Spring and the Halloween jazz album Witchcraft...! in 2013, either at yard sales or the church thrift shop in Audubon.
Finished the night at YouTube with the Match Game Saturday Night Marathon. Many a handsome leading man of the big and small screens tried their luck at this show. Michael Landon, Pa Ingalls himself, was on the very first week in 1973. Mork and Mindy star Jim Staal and Love Boat purser Fred Grandy turned up during syndication. Brett was more than happy to kiss Robert Urich of Vega$ and Spencer for Hire during his one week in 1975. Leslie Nielson and William Shatner also made appearances later that year. The Flying Nun's favorite Argentinian Alejandro Rey turned up for a memorable week in 1974. Scoey Mitchelll also made his first appearance in 1974.
Take a gander at your favorite male star of the small and big screen in this hilarious and sexy marathon!
