Best Christmas movie of the season, "I Believe in Santa" on Netflix. Me being a Christmas freak and loving watching Christmas movies (So far 35 this season) I have found a movie that speaks to my heart. This movie about a guy who totally loves Christmas and who believes in Santa, is totally about me and my views. It's fun and heartwarming and has a great message. Want to know who I am? Watch this movie. Here is the trailer.

I have actually done "Live Shots" where all those things were done except the one at the beach since Kansas City has no beaches. I will give my station credit last night they had no reporters standing outside in the cold. Most were either indoors or in our live van driving down the highway. I can't tell you how many times I did live shots out in the freezing cold. I don't miss those days at all.

So sorry Jane. I hope your symptoms are mild and you can resume your holiday schedule soon. Take care and rest. Looking good. Looking forward to seeing the final result pictures. Wind gets a little gusty but not too bad. Right now it's about 20mph. Snow has just about stopped. It was very fast moving. We probably have 2 inches.

Hello from the frozen tundra of Lee's Summit, Missouri a suburb of Kansas City where it is -4 with a wind chill that feels like -27 degrees with heavy snow until noon.

Beautiful pictures. All are Christmas card worthy. Merry Christmas John to you and your family.

Here's the cutaway. looks like Captain Lee likes to play.

We watched tonight because I wanted to see if it would be Capt. Sandy. The Below Deck Reddit pages were all speculating that it would be Sandy and it makes sense. I know there are a lot that don't like her but I do. Even if she micromanages. Yep she is derailing very fast. Did you notice how Sandy was cleaning the galley? I've never seen her do that before. I wonder if she took note of Capt. Jason and all the things he does to help out. Also did you notice the whip in Capt. Lee's luggage before he left. I didn't know the Captain was kinky?????

Will do, sounds great!

Congratulations Sue ! What a beautiful Christmas baby.

I was getting a little worried but finally it showed up. I have a good friend that does some really good ones for his daughter. Here is his latest.

So excited to see this excursion pop up for our October cruise that goes to Tortola. The Soggy Dollar Bar at Jost Van Dyke has been on my bucket list for years. We are officially booked. Merry Christmas to me!

No but I will now. I plan on doing a side by side comparison in the next day or so. I will post my thoughts. The 12 was really, really nice. Happy Hanukkah wished to you and to everyone who celebrates. Let their be light.

I want to get this Ugle Christmas Sweater!

One of my favorite lines from the movie. I will watch this year as I have every year since the movie came out on Christmas Eve. Such a fun tradition.

Sorry I haven't been around much. Trying to get ready for the last Christmas party I'm hosting. This is number 3 with some of my remaining family members and some of my dearest longtime friends. Unfortunately one couple had to cancel due to Covid, another ended up with last minute conflict, and two dad and son who i've worked with for years are on the road to cover the Chiefs game in Houston. So I went from 12 to now 6 and it's depressing but what can you do? All the food is ordered and I will have to make due. At least one bit a good news. My liquor store owner friend came through on my request to purchase a highly coveted and allocated bourbon Pappy Van Winkle 12 Family reserve. Going to crack it open tonight. Cheers everyone.

Wow I have not seen that. Very impressive. Disney has always been in the forefront of visual technology.

Beautiful ! I love projections on buildings. They have really improved the technology of it. I am amazed at the brightness and detail. This is so cool to see.

Happiest of Birthdays wished to you today. I hope your latest trip around the sun was a great one. Cheers to you on this special day as you turn the same age as me. Have a great celebration today!

It's a common issue with TV stations. They have a responsibility to alert people but sometimes they go overboard. I think some of it is a fear that if something horrific happened and people died others would say they were not alerted. Plus you have the fact that all the stations are competing with each other so no station wants to go back to regular programming first. All the stations want to be the last and also they want to appear that they are going wall to wall with coverage. Drives me nuts. I can't tell you how many live shots I had to do where there was nothing going on but the producers felt the coverage needed to be continued.

I'm not sure if we will drive again. 12 hours is a long time where as a couple of hours is nicer, not to mention dealing with traffic through Dallas and Houston.

Yes that was the infamous separated shoulder and fracture cruise I'm better. It aches from time to time. I have to be careful about movement sometimes but I'm improving. I think our parking was $120 and I think we had about 4 stops for gas going down.

How far is drive for you since you are south of us? It took us 12 hours but it was not bad at all. Looks good. I am going to try it. Can't decide for orange liqueur to use Grand Marnier or Cointreau?

I would love to see some video at some point, don't go out of your way. I'm just envious because I wish I could do that.

I would like to see video of you on the flow rider please.

@grapau27 Thinking about you today. Good luck.
