Lion in Winter

When Luanne came home and told me about the curious thing that she had heard on the radio, I listened with only half my available attention. But when I heard the words, Lion in Winter, I perked right up. We bought the video years ago -- both fans of Katherine Hepburn. Well, the news Luanne brought home was this: some guy called the station to get in on the "name your favorite Christmas movie" and said his fav was Lion in Winter.

"I never thought of it as a Christmas film," she said. "Then I remembered that King Henry let Eleanor out for Christmas." Yes, and they had a tree, and gifts, and Henry asked if they should hang the holly or themselves!

This is the ultimate stressful family get-together. I highly recommend it as an addition to holiday viewing.
