Signs: KEEP DANCING!!!

 
With this I - if late - join Tom with Signs2.
Three things first:
#1 - Thanks everybody for your kind comments on last post! You helped me a lot!
#2 - all good in the household and no, I did not ask
#3 - still sick. Got down nothing at  all yesterday, and the cheese Ingo sat in front of me... ack. Tired, coughing and nose running, things could be worse but by now I wish this would be over...

Anyhows, maybe you say, oh, noooooo... but for me this is a sign it´s Christmas!


Clarence (Angel 2nd class (no wings yet)): "Is the man sick?"
"No, he is discouraged. "

As I was, as well.
 

"Wish I had a million dollars!!!", says George  - bell rings! - You know what that means, right?

George finds his boss` son has passed and tries his best -  seeks help... saves another life...
 

As man...
Cannot buy a travel-bag. Cause his ex-boss´d bought it for him...  
 

 Since a little boy where he got the National Geographic he wanted to travel the world! But, if you know the movie, he never left his little town.

My Brother remembered my Dad and I watching the (German version of the) movie every Christmas.
I "hated" it, but had no chance, being the older one. It was tradition.

Bro said he´ll look if it´s on TV and if so will watch with his girls (mind you, the oldest is 12 and sounds like an adult and none had the desire to talk to me cause they do not know me anymore, I gave up on that front - distance of 60km...).
 

 Glad I fell in love with a man I traveled many a part of the world with!

George on dancing the Charleston:  "I am not very good at that!"
Mary: "Me, neither!"
Him: " So what have we gonna to lose?" 
And they dance. 

And they dance.. right over the crack to the swimming pool - they fall in - and keep dancing and everyone joined.
 

That´s why my Dad insisted on watching this every Christmas.

KEEP DANCING!!! No matter what.

I get it now, thank you, Dad.

If Bro is right and you watch on: It's a Wonderful Life is on for you.

I will not throw my life away.
I know, cause  my Brother told me he would not be alive if it wasn´t for me.  
He was in his late 20´s when he said so (he had a very bad crisis and came to me).
His daughters... would not be here.

KEEP DANCING, someone might need you!
 

And then there was Mama Dollar and Papa Dollar!  ... and "the Hotel"... if you don´t know the movie.. give it a go!
 
Clarence, as George tries to end his life, jumped into the ice-cold water and George, without thinking, jumps after him to save his life. Is granted the wish - he was never born!!!
And sees the place, Pottersville, that became an awful plcae.
 

ENTREZ!!!!

Here he finds his old boss who due to the death of his son gave by accident poison instead of medicine, was in jail, ruined his life - George was not there to prevent that accident... George certainly got his life, wife and kids back and....

And every time a bell rings... which his daughter did a lot... also Clarence got his wings.

Merry Christmas!


No, Henry. 8C/46F here... When I was a kid we had "White Christmas", I can´t remember the last one!
Hope you don´t have too much and are well and warm.

That's a good movie to lift anyone's spirits. And you know, I don't think your brother's girls are purposely ignoring you. If the oldest is 12, it's typical. The teenager is almost around and teenager's brains do change. Before they change again to adult brains. They don't think it's cool to talk to some adults.So no worries. I think they will find you again. I've lived through this and after teaching teenagers for 36 years, I've seen it more times than you can count. I hope you keep the spirit of the movie Iris. hugs-Erika

That movie made an impact.

CJ Kennedy said...

It's not Christmas for us if we don't watch this movie. Usually, it's the first we watch right after Thanksgiving (3rd Thursday in November) I'm feeling better and I hope you're feeling better, too.

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, thank you for explaining this to me!!
Oh, I´m just not "cool" anymore!
So what. Lets keep on dancing! ;-) Hugs!

...Iris, by all means keep dancing. It's a Wonderful Life is a classic Christmas movie. Check this out.

Oh no, you are still sick? Not sure what's going on, I'm only just getting over the weird flu we all caught, lots of lemon juice and honey.
