Okay, honestly, she does that everyday.

Every Christmas that I can remember (and often at other random times throughout the year) my family would watch "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that several of my North cousins got involved in theater, and might have had something to do with that time that I forced them into performing a play I'd written called "The Christmas Tree That Ate My Mother" one Christmas Eve (more on that some other day).
