To prove the shamelessness of Hollywood, here comes a Casper cartoon from 1955. With all the potential of the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future and their rich Dickensian heritage, Harveytoons chooses to rip off the Fliescher Bros. 1938 classic, "Christmas Comes But Once a Year" (which we will be seeing here on Christmas Eve Day) in this friendly ghost story. No real redeeming qualities, but I wanted to show it as a lackluster comparison to the original.
Looks like it's going to rain right through until Christmas here in Pasadena. The temperatures will be below normal, meaning in the low 60s instead of the high 60s. I watch the news coverage of cold and snow in the rest of the country and have to be thankful for our winters here. Let's just hope it doesn't rain on the Rose Parade like it did five years ago.
Friday I got down the wrapping materials and took paper/ribbon/bow inventory. The one thing I always forget — name tags — I had already purchased. Having made my count (and taken a picture of the wrapping papers to match colors), I went shopping to fill out the supplies.
I checked the job boards online, but nothing new is showing up this week, and I don't think anything will until the new year, so I'm concentrating on holiday cheer, thankful for all the good things in my life right now, and my good taste in holiday wrapping supplies.
Still some shopping left, so next week won't be boring.
