Two additions to the unmerry Christmas list of movies: “The Blue Carbuncle” a Sherlock Holmes Christmas mystery, and The Vicar of Dibley’s “The Christmas Lunch Incident.” The Vicar of Dibley is a very funny series. The Christmas episode is the one that we saw first and made us order the rest of the series. Sadly, I’ve only been able to find it on VHS, not DVD. Sigh. The vicar special is actually one where no one dies, and it’s heart warming, very funny, and very feel good. But somehow, strangely, it’s still not on the traditional list of holiday specials. It just feels subversive, somehow.
The turkey is in the oven, the cook book is open to the sweet potato recipe, raisins and dried cranberries are soaking in boiling water for the stuffing, and while we wait for the turkey to cook Trinity and I are baking cookies. ‘Tis the season. Happy holidays.
