Have you heard the German tradition of the Legend of the Christmas pickle? An ornament is in the shape of a pickle and placed on the tree. It wouldn't have to be a pickle, it could be another shaped ornament. This works best if a tree is heavily decorated........... To get back to the legend. It was started to make everyone, especially children really admire and appreciate the ornaments. They are asked to find the pickle in the tree and the first one to spot it gets a prize. I guess the pickle was used for it's colour as it would be harder to find it in the tree and kids would have to hunt longer. I have seen a pickle ornament in some of the stores and if you check ebay, you will see tons of them for sale.

Ender's Game --- the movie
Q
Comments (16)
The boycott of Ender's Game does raise the issue of how to reconcile your response to a work of art to an artist's behavior. Card's opinions, however, are hardly a secret. He has not just been a recent opponent of same-sex marriage. He has been publicly expressing views against gay people for years. If there is any censorship against Card it must be coming from the movie studio, since his views are clearly going to hit them in their pocketbook. I know of some younger readers who found Ender's Game to be a book with Fascist overtones. Card, however, seems to take any dissent to his views as religious persecution, which to me is like having your cake and eating it too. Even if I was interested in SF, he seems like such a paranoid, neurotic person, I think I would rather just skip his books. It reminds me a bit of all those German opera singers who joined the Nazi party before WWII. After the war, most of the great opera houses would not hire them. Just because someone is an artist doesn't mean that they are absolved from the facing the consequences of their behavior or politics.

I was wrong. The movie I mentioned as White Christmas was actually Christmas in Connecticut. I think the song from that movie was White Christmas. Another aging person. LOL.

My favourite - One Magic Christmas

Phyllis, I love that move - Christmas in Conneticut. Imagine my surprise when I first saw it when I was a kid, one of the characters that had a bit part had the same last name as mine and I thought at that time my family was the only one in the world with that last name. LOL

Emmet Otter's Jugtown Band Christmas
I just bought the dvd for Mom who was smiling as she remembered it.

The Christmas Rose? I saw a movie a long time ago where a woman takes her children to her childhood home and her aunt would get a Christmas rose from someone. It was a sweet story and I would like to see it again.

"The Fourth Wiseman". I saw it in the 1960's. I just read there is a new version that came out in 2003. I think I would like the old version better.

The one I was thinking of with the Christmas rose of was called
Gift of Love, A Christmas story. Angela Lansbury, Lee Remick and Polly Holliday (who played Flo in tv show) Alice starred in it.
I sat and bawled when I watched it and now might watch it again if I can find it on DVD.
I love The House Without a Christmas Tree too.

I still think the 1942 movie, Holiday Inn, where "White Christmas" was introduced was the most fun! and so beautiful!

A Christmas Story
The author, Jean Shepherd, went to my High Scool - He was a few decades ahead of me though. My Aunt lives about 2 blocks away from where he grew up.

"A Christmas Carol," in several versions. My favorites are the animated one from the early 70's and the one with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge.
