I LOVE films. What I love even more are Christmas films. Elf, Santa Claus the Movie, Shop Around the Corner, It's a Wonderful Life... you name it and guess what, I've probably already watched it over the Christmas period. In fact, truth be told I was watching some of them back in October. But there is one movie that will forever be a favourite.
I will watch The Family Stone about three different times over Christmas. I just love everything about it. And without a doubt I will still cry at the 'It's a good tree, Daddy' ending. It's about Family. And I've got to tell you, I LOVE this family. Anyway there are so many favourite scenes in this movie, but this part is by far my favourite. Meredith and Ben are lying on his bed and it's snowing outside. The patterns of the falling snow are reflecting off the ceiling and they lay together and watch it. They both hum to Joy to the World and Ben simply says, 'Repeat the sounding joy.'
It's a lovely moment of simply being with a loved one and taking in the moment together. So wherever you are this Christmas and whoever you spend it with, I hope that you too find a moment to take it all in and realise that despite the past year and whatever has gone on over 2011 and whether it found you at your best or at your worst, I hope that you found some magic moments within it.
Repeat the sounding joy
