1. Today is a feel-good day at TCM

Hi Kendra!

I was watching Strongest Man in the World earlier and realized that since the election, I could actually enjoy some silliness like that.

I just came in from shoveling some snow and filling the bird feeders and see that Fred MacMurray is on now trying to keep his feet on the ground.

I bet you're enjoying your weather that should be just right these days!

:hug:

2. Not very Christmassy -- 76 degrees!

But my daughters came out to help me decorate and we watched Holiday Inn followed by White Christmas. We did have a little snow early last week so we've had a small dose of winter.

I hope your back is okay after all that shoveling and you've got your feet up and hot chocolate in a mug! :hi: :hug:
