@bethany @sinbach (we dont watch it anymore......)

Does that mean every movie with a Santa clause negates it being a Christmas movie, since that isn't what Christmas about ;-)

Asking for a friend

@sinbach @tanjaostman @bethany yep. He even reunites with his wife. How much romantic can a film possibly be?

@bethany @sinbach he even dresses up a bad guy in Christmas gear....even to the extent of writing "ho ho ho" on said bad guy's jumper

Christmas party

Christmas time + Christmas trees + Christmas decorations + Christmas festivities = Christmas movie πŸ™‚

@sinbach my grandad never said much of the war

But he amazed me with the little he rarely said

Watching Ghandi (the film) "oh, my grandad was his bodyguard" the room was a bit stinned

While looking at the man, with thick glasses, shaky hands, and watching a war film "I used to win awards for my unit in sniper competitions" another stunned room

Captured by the Japanese in Burma. Stripped and told there were no bars, just jungle. So he legged it and escaped

The generation above us did amazing things for us.

I only hope our children will be able to say the same of us!

What a precious memory you have

I've never shot a gun in the UK. my Jo has...SA80 when she she in the territorial army, and pistols when she applied for the armed police...she came back every day with a huge grin on her face...I still remember the smell of gun oil...

Your memory sparked good memories for me too πŸ™‚

Huge breakthrough in Iran today! Praise the LORD!

@sinbach πŸ˜‚ it's a Christmas party. At Christmas...so it's a Christmas movie!

@TakeN Amazing! You have a gift of seeing the details. You then emphasize certain characteristics in what you see and (in my thinking) you join in fellowship with God in His creativity in nature and also through you.

@MaryMamuzich comes from a town called Andover in Hampshire - we used to regularly drive past the factory, a number of years ago

Your Jerry goes up and up in my...even drinking the same tea I do...must have tremendous taste that man :-)

@MaryMamuzich that looks a lot posher than the one we buy πŸ™‚

Oddly, and I have no clue how I know this (my head is full of things that aren't all that helpful), but I had heard that some great tea comes out of Seattle...

My favourite brand is an English one - Twinings. I've tried supermarket own brands, but they usually go straight into the bin after my first mugful. I'm on decaf everything now (personal choice) and that makes it a little trickier.. earl grey decaf tea bags are not cheap, sadly

I can not source decaf loose leaf earl grey tea anywhere...

There are plenty of suppliers over here of tea (as you'd expect) but that's my personal favourite

For daily tea we use PG tips. Steven loves his mint tea, and we try to get it, loose, from another, smaller English company, called TeaPigs (they also do my very favourite herbal tea - Mint and Liquorice)
