'twas Christmas night in the workhouse


It all started off alright...


... then I noticed the decorations...


 ... yes, the decorations...


...so I made a suggestion...


... and his 76 year-old mother thought it was wonderful...


... and the evening ended as it always does, every year - in tears.
It's a Wonderful Life.

  1. I have finally discovered the benefits of a greasy, thumb-printed lense on the phone camera. Just look at those twinkling lights.

  2. "Blinded by the lights" or "Spirits in the Night"? (Not that you think of me as a Mannfred Mann fan).

  3. Cheesy. I need more technology, then I'd watch it every year too, tears-n-all.

    1. That little DVD player was a Christmas present from me to H.I. some years ago, and the disc of It's a Wonderful Life came with it. We now watch DVDs on the big iMac (with Bose speakers) but it's still a tradition to watch some in the kitchen on the little portable sometimes. Why don't you get one? You will never regret it!

    1. Best thing to do. The alternative is far worse.
