#ItTakesAllKinds #Roadtrip I think it said that they took these signs down in 1963 ,but at its height ,there were 7000 sets in 43 states. Fun car game to look for these on your travels back in the day.Found this little gem ,at the big book sale I went to a few weeks ago . Published in 1965. So six signs spread out a ways , you get a poem!

This had some interesting observations. One long scenario anout no one providing him water was particularly well done. Overall though after the first 8 chapters I grew bored. It seemed to fall into the socio- babble of every thing that‘s wrong in America can be fixed by having front porches. I love a deep porch, but…I am grateful though for the tip that the field in which Frederick Douglas fought for his freedom is still a field we can visit.

One of my fave American artists; I was lucky enough to see his exhibition when it came to Phoenix in the early aughts. 🖤💜🖤

Every year I watch this movie and I think about seeing it in the theater in 1983 with my friends Marty and Kathy. And I remember how Marty said, “That was the worst movie I‘ve ever seen. I‘m so glad I never have to see it ever again.” And I laugh and laugh. 😄

Merry Christmas and be sure to drink your Ovaltine!

MaureenMc My 12 year-old watched this movie for the first time this year. She loved it! 😁 4mo
mom2bugnbee My husband is watching it right now - it's his absolute favorite. I used to not like it, but I must admit that it's grown on me in 28 years. ☺ 4mo
CarolynM My favourite Christmas movie. I watched it again this year. I saw it in the cinema with my parents when I was a teenager. It was a bonus extra after another movie (Splash! I think) We laughed until we cried, and were most surprised by how many people left the cinema before the end. There‘s no accounting for taste, I guess🤣 4mo
Amiable @CarolynM Right? That‘s why it makes me laugh —to think that Marty is reminded every single year that he was so wrong about a movie that is now a beloved holiday classic! 😀 4mo

I found the book to be wildly entertaining. The narrator did a good job with it, but some of the sound effects got in the way.

Over the past couple of days, I‘ve watched A Christmas Story, Elf (on the big screen!), 3 episodes of Frasier, and one Bob‘s Burgers.

This is my favorite Christmas movie and one of my favorite books. It‘s my second read through and boy am I happy I read it again. When I was younger I was dissatisfied with the story but as I read it this time I realized the magic was beyond Christmas and not all neighbors are perfect. It‘s going to become a tradition to read this yearly and watch the movie 😁
