K.A.C. 2011 - T - 15 ...

     Welcome back! When you have a moment during your busy weekend holiday schedule, and you want a break from all the shopping and baking and addressing of Christmas cards, take a moment to peruse today's offerings: they come from a blog entry called 'The Strange Customs of Scandinavian Christmas TV' ... the author had me at "One of the few children's movies to contain a semi-nude prostitute ..." (never saw THAT in any Christmas special!), it also features to perennial favorite DINNER FOR ONE (seen at left). Here's the link:

     Speaking of DINNER FOR ONE, it is usually shown on New Year's Eve throughout Europe, not Christmas, and has become an annual viewing tradition for a number of families. For more on the background and history of this short, see here:
