We're planning a bit of a film fest with the kids this Christmas - we each get to pick one and no one else can complain about it!

A lot of these are new to me on this side of the pond, but a small number are favourites here, too, such as Miss Fisher (in our family, my mom is the biggest fan of this charming series, but of course I enjoy it as well - how could any vintage not?).<br /><br />Big hugs & happy weekend wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-48115054205120027402015-12-10T19:24:46.975+00:002015-12-10T19:24:46.975+00:00Noooo!

They went from rationing in the early 1950s, though people getting fridges in the 1960s and freezers in the 1970s, through 80s convenience foods and so on.

It feels like it's been ages since I've seen it. <br /><br />It feels as though there's not as much vintage in the Christmas schedules as there has been some years. Still, there are some decent things in the mix, and I did leave off all the old classic repeats (eg Miss Marple on Alibi).Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-62426148858923067862015-12-10T16:24:20.701+00:002015-12-10T16:24:20.701+00:00Ooohhh, Back in Time for Christmas looks neat!
