It's A Wonderful Life!

We finally got our tree, I'll tell you about that adventure tomorrow.  In the meantime, I did manage to decorate the mantel.

Wow, it kind of looks a bit busy, but I can't resist displaying all the Santas, elves and nutcrackers.

Then we walked to the Tower Theatre to watch a matinee performance of It's A Wonderful Life.  So much better than seeing it on the TV with a million adverts.  I'm hoping this becomes a holiday tradition for us.

Love those vintage seats, if a bit hard on the bum.

There were only about 15 people in the audience, but I think everyone of them (well the females at least) was sobbing at the end.

We're so lucky to live only a 5 minute walk away from where the theatre is.  It's located in a little shopping area called ninth & ninth.  This is also where they show many of the Sundance Film Festival movies.  As you can see it was dark when we left, so it made the walk home even more special and gave us the opportunity to take sneaky peeks at people's christmas decorations in their homes.
