Disgusting, but true.
Early last evening I had the pleasure of watching the 2015 Christmas movie Charming Christmas ─ which initially had me wondering if the movie source had been misfiled among the sources listed within the BeeTV app that I was using in our Android TV Box, for the movie itself proclaimed that it was actually one called The Secret Life of Mrs. Claus.
Apparently the movie can bear either title, but it is the same movie.
I had to warm up to the movie because the heroine ─ played by gorgeous actress Julie Benz ─ was not instantly likeable. She had a hard and maybe even a cold edge. I also was not exactly happy when I saw the actor who would be playing the male lead role ─ I was not familiar with the name of David Sutcliffe, but visually he was very familiar, and seemed to me to usually play a rather devious or sneaky sort of character who always came across as being super-confident and 'full of himself'.
But Julie Benz ─ I have long been intensely drawn to that woman!
Frankly, I find her to be overwhelming in her sex appeal.
Despite that, however, the movie could easily have been about either of two other characters ─ or more correctly, their subplots would have made good Christmas movies in themselves.
One of these characters was ably played by actress Vanessa Matsui, and was a Broadway dancer who had her career placed into pause due to a serious ankle injury. In Charming Christmas, her physician specialist had given her the green light to dance again if she chose, and this was now becoming a marital issue with her and her husband, for they no longer lived in New York City and she wanted to return to it.
The second subplot revolved around the character played by actress Ashley Leggat, a stressed mother whose divorcing husband wanted next to nothing to do with their son, for the man was content to instead maintain a career aboard a cruise ship all the year around. We never did see the cad, for there was to be no reconciliation, and Ashley's character was in an emotional struggle because she wanted her young lad to have a full family life that richly involved his father.
Ashley has such soulful eyes.
I enjoyed the movie well enough, and ended up drinking a couple of full glasses of red wine, finishing off a four-litre box.
Quite early into the movie, my wife ─ who was upstairs in her bedroom, lolling on her bed as she watched videos on her smartphone or tablet ─ suddenly began exclaiming, and calling down to me.
It seems that she had suddenly became aware of a presence on a small platform just outside the screen of her partially open bedroom window. Initially she assumed it to be some neighbour's house cat, but then she quickly realized that the face staring through the window screen was much too large ─ it was a raccoon.
It had scuttled off by the time I got there to have a look.
Anyway, I quite felt that consumption of wine by the time it was done; yet ere the evening was over and after my younger brother was home from his daily socializing, I drank a further two cans of the strong (8% alcohol) malt that I keep in stock.
He and I were to watch the penultimate episode of Inspector Morse ─ episode four ("The Wench Is Dead") of season eight. I did not realize until now that we were this near to being finished with the excellent T.V. series.
That episode (and the others) are available on YouTube. It can be watched at this link, provided that it remains valid ─ I noticed that it is misidentified as being episode three ("Inspector Morse S08E03 - The Wench is Dead / full episode").
My wife had to work a full day today at the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment ─ it opens at 11 a.m., but she rose at least as early as 9:40 a.m. and thus had plenty of time to shower and otherwise ready herself for her fairly long drive this sunny day. I have since seen that she sensibly only drank half of the bottle of red wine that she opened last evening.
As for morning T.V. with my brother, after I put our Android TV Box into action, we watched two episodes uploaded to Rumble by Christopher James Pritchard (A Warrior Calls). The first (Never Surrender to Lies) was uploaded two days ago, and covered a variety of topics. It had actually been livestreamed three days ago.
Christopher's second video was uploaded yesterday: AI Dominion Games Ep 2 Tesla's Fatal Twitter Traps.
This is the 2nd Episode in what will be a 3 times/week series.
We will address the powerful AI on the loose worldwide that is affecting and infecting our world today on ever level.
Join David Hawkins and Christopher James for high level AI discussions that our fellow man is simply not aware.
We together are going to change this for our world.

We also watched Odessa Orlewicz's video from yesterday, which was under a half hour in duration: Live Off Grid! Train With The Experts Who Have Proven How To Do It Already!
Learn The Systems They Used To Buy Land And Build A 160 Acre Off-Grid Homestead... Starting With No Money.
If you want to own some acreage, grow food, gain some independence, build self-sufficiency, be surrounded by friends and live a life of simple freedom… then Join us for a LIVE Virtual Gathering soon! *Off Grid Living Workshop. https://www.libertytalkcanada.com/off-grid
I will not be subscribing to that workshop ─ their idea of having "no money" is far from mine. They talk about figures like $50,000 as if it was a commonplace amount that just about everyone is able to conjure up.
I also tuned in a video that Tessa Lena (Tessa Fights Robots) uploaded to Rumble on November 7: Conspiracies, Mob Morality, and Amnesty: A Conversation with Charles Eisenstein.
I only watched maybe 15 minutes ─ quite possibly less. It was too philosophical. But apart from that, I could not bear listening to two people presenting the merits of forgiveness for those who are mandating and even forcing all of the atrocities that have been so prevalent for nearly the past three years.
I want full justice poured forth upon ever single person who has been involved in pushing every level of the lies that have resulted in so much death and utterly ruined lives. There should be no amnesty for the wilfully guilty, nor for those who were "just obeying orders".
Enough of that for today's post.
I would love to watch another Christmas movie early this evening, but I think instead that I am going to try and somehow find it within me to make the four-mile round trip hike early this evening to the nearest government liquor store. I would love to be able to buy the Scotch Christmas gift that my brother expects ─ we customarily buy each other booze for Christmases and birthdays.
If I make that hike, then I can in good conscience skip the early a.m. walk that is scheduled for the weest hours of Friday.
We shall see ─ this will not be easily accomplished, for I hate being abroad when the evening is still so busy. I do not drive, so I have no choice but to walk.
I'm feeling discouraged.
