Gentle flurries. Having a snowball fight, building a snowman, or making snow angels?

Quo Vadis (1951) - Historical religious drama set in 64 AD. Peter Ustinov's portrayal of Nero and the circumstances concerning Rome burning make it memorable despite its age. You'll never forget the ending. https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=Ae486451e3bcf90da99a45b7742472e1e&w=121&h=183&c=7&rs=1&qlt=90&pid=3.1&rm=2

Swiss chalet festive special - are cranberry and stuffing addictive?

The Natural (1984) - Robert Redford in a classic baseball movie. The last base run and final scene alone make it watchable. Great characters and performances. https://www.bing.com/th?id=A257b06185cdfe794aadd7769be91a983&w=113&h=170&c=7&rs=1&qlt=80&pcl=f9f9f9&cdv=1&pid=16.1

Dinner time. More time to prepare meal and to anticipate. And if the turkey put's you to sleep, it's almost bed time anyway... Christmas snacks: nuts or candies?

Rum (Lambs Navy Rum if handy...) Tree decoration: String of beads or Tinsel?

Mockingjay Part 2 - The dénouement in this final film of the Hunger Games series is more satisfying than that in the book series on which it is based. If you have seen the earlier films, you won't need my recommendation to be planning to see this one as well. The untimely death of Philip Seymour Hoffman was adeptly worked around and did not adversely affect the result; it is a poignant reminder of what a great actor he was.
