A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
O Holy Night

Sung by the Italian II Divo
Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
And the sun does not appear
I, I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand, and have no fear
Cause I, I will be here
I will be here when you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind,
I will listen and
I will be here when the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and tryin'
We'll be together 'cause I will be here
Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
And the future is unclear
I I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetime's are made for years
So, I I will be here
I will be here and you can cry on my shoulder,
When the mirror tells us we're older,
I will hold you and
I will be here to watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
I I will be here
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetime's are made for years
So, I I will be here we'll be together
I will be here

My husband and I had that song as our husband and wife dance at our wedding reception 23 years ago. That song still brings tears to my eyes whenever I play it.
When my mom was near death in rehab, I even sang it to her over the phone outside her window - I could barely get through it.
You have excellent taste. I adore Vivaldi.
I agree, those are very lame songs!
"Grandma got run over by a reindeer"!
Even though is is negative comedy, it is one of my favorite songs!
Please stay on topic if you are at all able, by putting your complaints in a positive light, just like CWillie has done. That is why Cwillie is appreciated for her wit and sense of humor.
Topic is: My favorite things....
See y'all back at "My whine moment" for some "free speech" opportunities.
Bridger, Those are my favorite of the worst Christmas songs!
Merry Christmas, brats.

Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and grandpa we believe
She'd been drinking too much eggnog
And we begged her not to go
But she forgot her medication
And she staggered out the door into the snow
When we found her Christmas morning
At the scene of the attack
She had hoof-prints on her forehead
And incriminating Claus marks on her back
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and grandpa we believe
Now we're all so proud of grandpa
He's been taking this so well
See him in there watching football
Drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel
It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts
Or send them back (send them back)
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and grandpa we believe
Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig
And the blue and silver candles
That would just have matched the hair on grandma's wig
I've warned all my friends and neighbors
Better watch out for yourselves
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh
And plays with elves
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and grandpa we believe
Singin' grandpa
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and grandpa we believe
Merry Christmas
My two favorites are “Do You Hear what I Hear” and “The First Noel”.
I laughed so hard at your story, I have tears rolling down my face!!!
Glad your mom was ok though -
ROFL! ROFL! ROFL!
Every hour?
That's a whole lot of Grandmas getting run over.
Earlybird,
Now that is a funny Christmas story! Poor Grandma!
We watched The Sound of Music - my parents took me to the movie theatre to see it the first time, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, White Christmas and many versions of A Christmas Carol and on TV, The Homecoming.
Oh wait, I think I can fix that!!!
I still like Christmas Eve better than Christmas day.
We always did midnight Mass after my aunt and uncle’s holiday party.
How can anybody not love Jimmy Stewart? He was a great actor and great on the eyes!
Nobodygetsit,
How wonderful that must have been?! I would love to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" in a theater. We do have an old Theater that shows kids movies and classic movies, but it is close because of Covid. My sig-other would never take me there to watch a classic movie. He doesn't care for them! But I'll go there someday...with him or without him!)
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray
And lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin
And say
Oh
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So you gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
Away!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So you gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
Away!
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
Away!
