Today I'm joining Beverly for Pink Saturday. The theme is to share a holiday/special tradition... and I even found a colorized photo with some pink... When you're finished here... drop by Beverly's How Sweet The Sound and join in the Pink Saturday event!Since I was a young child, each year my family has watched "It's A Wonderful Life" starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.
In the early years, we had to watch whenever one of the 3 networks aired the movie. My sister would scan the weekly newpapers' TV Guide each year, beginning around Thanksgiving, looking for when the movie would air... we didn't want to miss it!
In later years, we bought VCR tapes so we could watch whenever we wanted to.
Now... a nice DVD spins the original black and white version in my player every year... and soon... a Blue Ray version will be my own!

Wonderfully uplifting and heartwarming... (weren't Zuzu's petals PINK?!)One of my favorite family traditions is watching "It's A Wonderful Life" at Christmastime... with my wonderful family...
Down here in French Lique...
Oh, I love this tradition, Dixie! That's one of my favorite films. Jimmy Stewart is also a favorite actor. And look at little Zuzu! So cute.

Just watched it this week and cried like a baby at the end....just like the other 100 times I have watched it!! Merry Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a Wonderful Tradition! One of my favorite movies also and I also had to watch one of the three networks to first see it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I do remember LaHoma! and she remembered you! How sweet that she sent a card - that was such a sweet story. Have a wonderful Christmas, Dixie Doodle! xoxo Nancy
We too gather round the tube for this wonderful classic. And yes, Zuzu's petals were a perfect shade of SATURDAY PINK.
ReplyDeleteLove the card you received from Lahoma and such a special thing for you. Birthday Blessings!
We are heading to S.A. in the morning and if you guys are up for a lunch or dinner just give me a buzz.
Happy Anniversary to you both!
Cheers ;-)

Merry Christmas my friend..
Gosh, I love that film!
Hey Dixie!
ReplyDeleteI always liked watching it too! I tried to watch it with the kids but they didn't care for it. I guess the kids of today are just spoiled with all of the other Christmas movies that they can't appreciate it like we do.
Merry Christmas!
