The Old Times

First I really have nothing to blog about tonight, so sorry about that.  I am struck by one thing, just what did Americans do prior to the creation of the Hallmark Channel and the Lifetime Network.  Once upon a time, there were just a handful of Christmas or Holiday movies, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and various versions of A Christmas Carol and a few more.  Now there are hundreds of made for cable Christmas movies, mostly using the same formula, its Christmas and things aren't as nifty as hoped, but after some sadness and tears, everyone realizes that they should be happy with what they got and some cases they get a Christmas miracle and get a bunch more than they could ever dream.  What is the point of all this?  To get you to watch more commericals about buying televisions and Mercedes Benz for your loved ones.  Or it is to assist you to enjoy the season.  Like I said nothing really to blog about.
