Favorite Holiday Movie

OK.  First off, today's challenge was "Bright" but since I'm not feeling well, and since I made it a point to stay home today, and since the weather was a bit overcast, and since our tree isn't up yet.... I couldn't find anything "bright " to photograph.  

So... I decided to look back at the photo challenges I skipped over on the 1st and the 2nd and chose to do "Favorite Holiday Movie."


This is my favorite holiday movie for a few reasons.  I can sit down to watch it feeling down and by the time it is over, I am happier.  Mostly because of the memories it brings up.  We got this the first year Angelica participated in figure skating.  She was so young and so happy even though life was chaotic with her illness.  That year and the year after we went through some really hard things, but when I watch this movie I am not reminded of the difficulty of facing those events.  Instead I am reminded of the wondrous love of God that brought us through it all.
