2017 Christmas Round Up

“Keep on working, haven’t got time for that.”

Elvis Presley –- Bossa Nova Baby.

Hello Friends,

How are your holiday plans progressing? Hey-ho to the people who are doing it right and getting organised for the Christmas celebration. Now the stragglers like me—keep on working and dragging the chain. I need some energy, more action, some vintage Elvis Presley to get the blog ideas rolling.

Thanks to youtube, we can visit the Tropicana Club from 1963. Wowee, see the orchid purple carpet from the movie, “Fun in Acapulco”. Elvis the King, has jumping beans in his jeans as he sings, “Bossa Nova Baby”. Enjoy this 2012 upbeat remix by youtuber, The_Joker.  Ba, ba, ba, take it easy…

Oh Christmas Tree!

I wish, I wish,

to watch "A Christmas Prince",

on Television.

“It’s the low-budget Christmas movie that’s so bad it’s good and people all around the world are falling in love with it.”—News.com.au

Take a look at the Trailer.

“A Christmas Prince” was released in November 2017 by Netflix. The television movie has been a surprise success, and the critics have come out to say how terrible it is.

“I rolled my eyes so hard at this that I pulled a muscle.”—Youtube commentator

Netflix tweeted that there are 53 people who have watched “A Christmas Prince” for 18 days in a row. Oh well, falling in love and happy-ever-afters are more cheerful entertainment than watching the current news cycle.

Wishing you an enjoyable weekend.
