puffed sleeves
I've been playing all my favourite fictional Christmas scenes in my head.
1. To Kill A Mockingbird ~ When Scout Finch asks her Uncle Jack to pass the damn ham please, at Christmas dinner. She's hoping that if she swears enough, her father will attribute it to evil peer influence and stop sending her to school.
2. Little Women ~ Pretty much the entire movie, but especially when Beth gets the piano (errr...maybe that wasn't at Christmas EXACTLY, but it was definitely in the right spirit)
3. Of COURSE, it must be included: It's A Wonderful Life ~ When the guy realizes the world would not have been better off without him. Everyone think about that for a moment. It's beautiful.
4. The Sound of Music ~ Even though it doesn't happen at Christmas at all, it's like my second favourite movie to watch during winter holidays. I used to have a crush on that cute, blonde schnitzel eating, eldest son guy. What's-his-name.
5. Home Alone 1 ~ Kevin boppin around lip-synching carols while 'shaving'. The prominent use of a Christmas carol in a minor key.
6. Harry Potter IV (book not movie) ~ When Hermione shows up drop-dead-gorgeously at the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum. Aoooow!
7. Anne of Green Gables ~ When the much loved heroine, who doesn't own a single pretty dress, gets puffed sleeves from Matthew for Christmas. This is possibly the greatest Christmas movie scene of all time.
Yes, I am a girl.
