Q: How many of the Christmas movies I posted yesterday have you seen before?
Eric: Elf. I like Elf. But I liked it better when he was Ricky Bobby. I think I might’ve seen White Christmas when I was kid. I’ve seen the Jimmy Stewart one over and over as well. I always seem to turn it on when he is in the shop behind the soda counter. Then he gets smacked in the ear by the druggist. What sticks out in my mind the most about this movie is the pool with the removable floor. The rest was always kind of disturbing to me. Like seeing Alfalfa all grown up.
Q: How do you like the vintage tweed coat I bought today at the thrift store?
Eric: I’m torn between you keeping it and you selling it. You made good points on why to sell it, but you look so good in it, I think you should keep it! (editor’s note: I’m selling it… I think…)
Q: What was your favorite dessert at Thanksgiving?
Eric: Let’s see. I would say either the Peekann Pie or the Peekhun Pie! (editor’s note: It’s Pecan pie that he’s talking about. He’s making fun of his mother and the way she pronounced Pecan Pie.)
Q: When I your next workshop?
Eric: In less than two weeks in Connecticut. I do a workshop there every year, two weeks before Christmas. It’s now a tradition.
Q: What annoyed you this week?
Eric: That my mom didn’t make green bean casserole! She made green beans, but forgot the casserole part.
“the Jimmy Stewart one ” are you kidding me?
I’m disappointed in you Eric. How dare you talk so glibly about the greatest movie of all time?
… behind the soda shop at the counter… are you kidding me?? that part is the best… “George Bailey, I’ll love you till the day I die.” Doesn’t get any better than that!
Now make my sister happy and watch that movie 10 times before Christmas! Oh and respect your mother… I’m sure her green bean uncasserole was delicious!
Eric would say “sure, let’s watch It’s A Wonderful Life” and then he would get on his computer. He only likes dumb movies.
