While Kenny gave me my big present earlier in the week, he had another much-wanted present to give me away last night: the Little Mermaid DVD! This is possibly my favorite Disney movie of all time, yes, I like it even better than Lion King. I now feel really bad because I gave him socks and undershirts. When you do laundry, you kind of notice things that need replacing. Don't yell at me, he also got a leather coat and the box set of the 5th season of Hogan's Heroes. I guess the coat and Hogan's Heroes don't make it a total drag of a Christmas. There is also one other thing I got him, but since it is a gift for a person who reads this blog, I'll have to tell about it later. Let's just say it was on Jay Leno, it cracks us up, and freaks out the cats.
For all of you old school Jim Henson fans, I purchased a little gift for me last night as we finished up our Christmas shopping: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. How many of you remember this movie? Being the Jim Henson nut that I am (box sets of the Muppet Show play a big part of my DVD collection), I had never seen this movie on DVD. I remember seeing on TV when I was really little, but I haven't seen it in years. It's headed home in my bag for Christmas to introduce it to my nephew Robbie who loves the movie Kermit: The Swamp Years. The next generation is discovering my sister's, brother's, and my love of the Jim Henson characters. I miss those shows, especially Sam the Eagle, Pigs in Space, Animal, Beaker, etc. Good times.
For everyone who is traveling this weekend, be careful. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy spending time with friends and loved ones.
