Dickens used to dress up as the characters and perform on stage. He was a master. Did you know that the idea of Scrooge came from a character he invented by the name of Gabriel Grub. He was a sexton at a church who used to get drunk and curse at all the passersby. One night, while drunk, the elves came to get him and carried him underground. From then on, he was as friendly as can be. It's a great story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27434430.post-30243957677629917332006-12-09T15:44:00.000+00:002006-12-09T15:44:00.000+00:00Don't know that movie, Bruce, but will have to go ...Don't know that movie, Bruce, but will have to go find it. I confess to admitting that, sappy as it is, I've yet to watch It's a Wonderful Life without crying. But the thing about that movie is that it shows something this world desperately needs to remember--from the smallest village to the whole world, we really ARE all connected...Sharon Auberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608084262585968434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27434430.post-20582829649511084672006-12-09T15:16:00.000+00:002006-12-09T15:16:00.000+00:00Hey Sharon,

I was listening to Christmas songs all morning and the meaning of the season really came home to me. <br />Have you ever seen the Cary Grant movie "The Bishop's Wife"? Best Christmas movie ever, hands down. And THAT'S about reinvigorating lost souls, restoring everybody's faith (which was so damaged at the time by the experience of another, even fouler war than the one against Islam.)Bruce Hodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023661722366383054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27434430.post-33546706565731024062006-12-09T14:59:00.000+00:002006-12-09T14:59:00.000+00:00Good morning, Bruce
underneath the cynical heart ...Good morning, Bruce<br /><br />underneath the cynical heart is Santa Claus! LOVE what you said here, and it's so true. There truly IS something special that happens at Christmas--especially for us poets and romantics. and maybe everybody, but they just won't or can't admit it. And then, as you said, you've got to be open to it. So many of us have lost that, sad to say. You are so right on, my friend.
