1. About Rudolph the reindeer and Santa's other
Perhaps it is the undeniable alliterative attraction of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
that makes him the most popular of all known or Santa's nine flying reindeer.
It certainly seems not so easy to come up with a similar catchy description
for the others-dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, dating, Donner and
Blitzen-as mentioned in the song.
The story of Rudolf which shiny red nose made him a striking, appeared for the first time
in 1939, when divided Montgomery Ward, its parent or affiliates referenced about 2.4 million
booklets with the poem in the form of a story on "Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer. " It was written by Robert L. may, who worked in the shop
advertising or marketing department, be used to attract more people in
the store. when the booklet is published again in 1939, increased sales by more than 3.5
million copies. but it wasn't until ten years later, in 1949, which the story
really gained huge popularity as Gene Autry sang a musical version of the
Fabel. it's like a Christmas song, second only to popularity to "White
Christmas. "
The ninth reindeer Rudolph, who lit up nose de Santa sleigh through the
night, is now known worldwide as the song has been translated into more than 20
different languages and an animated TV-movie is also based on the
story. Rudolph and his remarkable nose has become also the subject of jokes and
more interest in the reindeer, which has led to a lot of research to Santa and
the flying reindeer that his sleigh through the air.
Together with the infectious rhythm of the lyrics is also attractive Rudolph the story
because of the moral lessons that it contains. as the story goes, was Rudolph
ostracized by the other reindeer, laughed and teased him about his shiny
red nose, but on a foggy night, if Santa should be concerned that he may
not be able to deliver his Christmas gifts all over the world, Santa saw him
and friendly asked if he would step forward as the leader to "my sled Guide
tonight.' His shiny red nose would be very useful in the light of the way
Santa thought. "from then on all of the other reindeer loved him," rightly
predicted that he "would go in history. '
Under the moral lessons of that the story can give is that an attribute that is
considered negative or as a requirement may be used for a positive goal, or,
an active. It also makes the point that an individual should not let the
negative behavior of others give him or her and expectations of what is able to limit
be achieved and it illustrates how quickly opinions and views on
person can change.
The question, however, still hang where Rudolph. it is generally
considered to be the son of Donner (or Thunder), one of the original eight reindeer.
But the site snopes.com rejects this, however, say that he is a
Reindeer village elsewhere, and it was there that he was seen by Santa that
already during his trip to deliver Christmas gifts and more.
modern evolution of the story according to wikipedia.com, an animation of the
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) introduced a son, called Robbie, of
Rudolph. this son become now the tenth reindeer.
It is also interesting to that the idea of the Santa sleigh is pulled by
reindeer originated in the poem, ' was The Night Before Christmas. '
poem tells the story of Christmas, that Santa is, eight small bubbles
reindeer by their names, as mentioned earlier, just before he joined the
chimney to start filling the stockings out of a bag full of toys he

It's a Wonderful Life (60th Anniversary Edition)
Click Here for a Special Discount Price from Amazon!
Now perhaps the most beloved American film, It's a Wonderful Life was largely forgotten for years, due to a copyright quirk.
Only in the late 1970s did it find its audience through repeated TV showings. Frank Capra's masterwork deserves its status as a feel-good communal event, but it is also one of the most fascinating films in the American cinema, a multilayered work of Dickensian density.
George Bailey (played superbly by James Stewart) grows up in the small town of Bedford Falls, dreaming dreams of adventure and travel, but circumstances conspire to keep him enslaved to his home turf. Frustrated by his life, and haunted by an impending scandal, George prepares to commit suicide on Christmas Eve.
A heavenly messenger (Henry Travers) arrives to show him a vision: what the world would have been like if George had never been born.
The sequence is a vivid depiction of the American Dream gone bad, and probably the wildest thing Capra ever shot (the director's optimistic vision may have darkened during his experiences making military films in World War II). Capra's triumph is to acknowledge the difficulties and disappointments of life, while affirming--in the teary-eyed final reel--his cherished values of friendship and individual achievement.
It's a Wonderful Life was not a big hit on its initial release, and it won no Oscars (Capra and Stewart were nominated); but it continues to weave a special magic. --Robert Horton

Four Christmases
When your significant other tells you you both need an exit "safe word" before you enter his dad's Christmas gathering, you know you're not in Bedford Falls. But while Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon may not be It's a Wonderful Life's George and Mary Bailey, Four Christmases is a modern holiday classic in its own right.
For one thing, every family neurosis and dysfunction have taken root in the four families of Vaughn and Witherspoon's characters, Brad and Kate--and the sleek yuppie façade each has built with the other is about to come tumbling down. There are real belly laughs as the couple unexpectedly has to spend holidays with their four extended family groups.
"I don't want to speak ill of your mother on Christmas," growls Howard (Robert Duvall) to son Brad, while Brad's bullnecked ultimate-fighter brothers are rassling everything in sight, "but she's nothing but a common street whore." Brad may cringe, but Kate's own family is about to mortify her in abundant ways, from her randy "Gram-Gram" and about-to-pounce cougar mom Mary Steenburgen ("I feel like a Saudi prince in here," marvels Brad as all of Kate's female relatives drape themselves over him), to the revelation to Brad that Kate used to be--how to put this--a bit on the chubby side.
If the plot isn't full of surprises, the quips are nonstop and the acting believable and charming. The supporting cast also includes Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, Jon Favreau and Dwight Yoakam in a memorable turn as the mega-church pastor Steenburgen's character is involved with.
It's a comic Christmas blessing, and there'll be no need to say "mistletoe"--at least not till the viewers are home with their own families. --A.T. Hurley
