CHOOSE: A TUESDAY TREAT

On this day, December 19, one hundred and seventy four years ago, Charles Dickens published A Christmas Carol. So, today's choice was easy as "The Man Who Invented Christmas" was showing at the Cordova Malco.
 
For 10 + years, our  family had tickets for "A Christmas Carol" at Theatre Memphis---usually seated in the first row center of the upper section, often needing all 14 seats in row J as we invited friends to go with us. Barry Fuller had our hearts as Scrooge.

To treat ourselves today to see this year's new holiday movie about how Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol" and thereby creating a tradition was a no-brainer for us, especially when son Buddy's review was so glowing. A perfect movie for our family he said as know all the phrases and word references. He was right----we did. 

It was indeed a Tuesday Treat. According to hubby, the only thing that would have made it better would have been to have all our children in the audience with us----because those are memories we share with them! "God bless us, everyone!"

A BIG cuppa Gra-TEA-tude

 In everything give thanks, (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NASB)

A great verse reminder to give thanks throughout the year---not just on Thanksgiving Day!
Dickens says we Americans have it backwards---we should spend 364 days a year being thankful and set aside one day only for griping and complaining.
Amen! to Mr. Dickens and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
