"Coming Attractions..."

Because it is that special time of the year where we all get too busy and too rushed for our own good, defeating the purpose of the holidays to begin with...I thought I would share with you some little-known movie trivia from Hollywood's vaults...movies that, well, just didn't make it beyond the proverbial 'cutting room' floor for their holiday season big screen debuts...

"Frosty The Marshmallow Creme Man"

------------------------

The snow never fell for little Johhny, as his sled sat rusting by the shed in the spring-like rains and temperatures...that is, until that December night when he left the lid off of a jar from one of the 4 major food groups and forever changed the way Johhny ate and looked at this special season...

"Rudolph The Red-Neck Reindeer"
-------------------------
Yeah, ol' Rudolph had had enough..all the other reindeer had just cut him out of what would be their last reindeer games...and they would never again call him 'Rudy-Patooty'. Discover what happened that 'other' foggy night when Santa turned his back to go home and have a piece of Mrs. Claus's Rum Raisin Pudding Cake...

"The Little Hummer Boy"

-------------------------

He had no gifts to bring except his gas-guzzling tank of an unnecessary SUV to the crib that night...which would not have been all that bad until the 3 Wise Men showed up in one Accord...

"Miracle on 5921 W. Friendly Avenue"
--------------------------
A heart-felt story of a newlywed couple who, together for their first Winter Solstice realized the true magic of television news that only digital cable can cring, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from News 14 Carolina in the Triad...

"Carol Of The Cow Bells"

--------------------------

This 'moooving' account of a dairy farmer facing floreclosure is one of Magic that only the holidays can instill. Joe Tillery cud not believe his eyes when he woke up that morning...to his udder amazement, his herd had rallied together and squeezed out an overnight milk-fest, so the cream of their crop could be taken to market for that direly needed farm-saving sale. The problem? They had no opposable thumbs with which to drive the trucks. Do they beat the deadline? The drama will milk your emotions to the very last drop...

"How The Grinch Stole Hannukah"

---------------------------

Stealing Christmas was one thing; however, the Grinch, along with his bedraggled sled dog Max, decided to spread the thievery and go for stealing Hannukah in the neighboring village of Oyville. What the Grinch had not planned on was that, unlike the ONE night of Christmas, Hannukah goes for EIGHT nights...and after the third night's foray, neither he nor Max had the energy or desire to make any more runs. They quickly decide to abort stealing during "The Festival Of Lights", return all the gifts...then put on yamakas and spin the Dreidel so much they fall into a deep Dreamtime...
