From Amazon.com:
This beautiful illustrated book by Celtic and
Arthurian folklorist John
Matthews (Classic
Celtic Fairy Tales) presents the history of modern Christmas
rituals. Trying to combat the commercialization of Christmas, Matthews
explains how the solstice is celebrated around the world and how the dates of
Christmas are different in different cultures. He discusses the traditions of
Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, and others, including mention of a short story
featuring Santa Claus's evil twin, Bob. Also included is information on the
Twelve Days of Christmas, solstice animals, and celebrations. Each engagingly
written chapter contains a celebration for readers to try themselves.

From Amazon.com: The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family

hard winter of 1880-81 in their little house in the Dakota Territory.
Blizzards cover the little town with snow, cutting off all supplies from the
outside. Soon there is almost no food left, so Almanzo Wilder and a friend
make a dangerous trip across the prairie to find some wheat. Finally a joyous
Christmas is celebrated in a very unusual way in this most exciting of all the
Little House books.

December, Piano Solos: 20th
Anniversary Edition [EXTRA TRACKS]

From Amazon.com:
A quintessential example of George Winston's
"folk piano" style,
December speaks to the spirit
of the season. Mixing traditional carols, a couple of classical works, and his
own originals, Winston drops notes with icy clarity into a winter silence,
rippling through "Carol of Bells" and coaxing dark, introspective moods from
his own suite, "Night." The pianist's liner notes are also a trip as he cites
the numerous sources for his music. Who would've thought that the gentle
melodies of "Peace" were inspired by the soundtrack to TV's The Outer
Limits? This 20th anniversary edition, which includes two bonus tracks, is
a vast sonic improvement over previous releases.

This is not your father's Christmas album.
Loreena McKennitt's primary instrument is the harp, but her primary
technique is to take a traditional folk song and supersize it with strings,
modern rhythms, and lush orchestration. It's a style that works ideally with
this material. Her takes on "The Wexford Carol" and "The Stockford Carol"
will make you rethink holiday songs. Other highlights include "The Seasons"
and "In Praise of Christmas," all songs that are weepy enough to please
Grandma but never so sappy they sound fake. Add two cups of hot cider and a
roaring fire, and this album will turn Scrooge into a fan of the season.

The
Silver Anniversary Edition of

eighth recording of the series. Featuring different compositions from the
original (1985)
A Winter's Solstice, you will not be
disappointed! Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or exploring new
music, this CD is full of beautiful instrumentals featuring solo piano,
guitar, violin, cello, flute, oboe, harp, English horn, synthesizers and
percussions.

From Amazon.com: Asian
American director Ang Lee sums up America in the early 1970s by focusing on
the arrival of the sexual revolution in the 'burbs. Isolationism within a
family, consumerism, and selfishness are personified by a cast that captures
the self-obsession within two New England families. As the children struggle
awkwardly with adolescence, their parents stumble through sexual
experimentation. In the days of Watergate and Vietnam, society is breaking
boundaries and ignoring convention. Following suit, these families are
eschewing polite barriers and social taboos, with disastrous results. The ice
storm of the title refers not only to a natural phenomenon but is a (rather
heavy-handed) metaphor for a pervasive emotional temperament. The entire cast
delivers textured, finely nuanced performances. This movie lingers in the
psyche not only for the scope of the tragedy at its conclusion, but for Lee's
often humorous and stingingly accurate assessment of pop culture. Based on
Rick Moody's
novel, this won the best-screenplay award at
Cannes in 1997.

From Amazon.com:
Leave it to the wildly
inventive Coen brothers (Joel directs, Ethan produces, they both write) to
concoct a fiendishly clever kidnap caper that's simultaneously a comedy of
errors, a Midwestern satire, a taut suspense thriller, and a violent tale of
criminal misfortune. It all begins when a hapless car salesman (played to
perfection by William H. Macy) ineptly orchestrates the kidnapping of his own
wife. The plan goes horribly awry in the hands of bumbling bad guys Steve
Buscemi and Peter Stormare (one of them being described by a local girl as "kinda
funny lookin'" and "not circumcised"), and the pregnant sheriff of Brainerd,
Minnesota, (played exquisitely by Frances McDormand in an Oscar-winning role)
is suddenly faced with a case of multiple murders. Her investigation is laced
with offbeat observations about life in the rural hinterland of Minnesota and
North Dakota, and
Fargo
embraces its local yokels with affectionate humor. At times shocking and
hilarious,
Fargo
is utterly unique and distinctly American, bearing the unmistakable stamp of
its inspired creators.

From Amazon.com:
An endless white landscape of
rolling hills and snow-blanketed forests. A lonely acoustic
score (by Danny Elfman) playing in the
background. A vision of rural simplicity portrayed in hushed tones. The
stillness is about to shatter. Brothers Hank (Bill Paxton), an accountant at a
small-town feed store, and Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton), an unemployed,
hygienically challenged dim bulb, accompanied by Jacob's oafish pal Lou (Brent
Briscoe), stumble across a downed plane in the brush containing a corpse and a
sack containing millions of dollars--surely the aftermath of a drug deal, they
conclude. Greed overcomes good sense, and the three agree to hide the money
for a year and keep the secret to themselves. A simple plan indeed, and it
doesn't take long for it to go all to hell as the lure of wealth tears at
kinship and friendship, and the ruthless machinations of impetuous partners
leave a body count in its wake. Bridget Fonda costars as Hank's wife, whose
initial hesitation gives way to cold-blooded plotting. Sam Raimi, best known
for wowing audiences with stylistic gymnastics and manic mayhem, directs this
quietly desperate thriller with chilly restraint, finding its cold, tragic
heart in the estranged relationship between Hank and Jacob: the college boy
blind to the truth of his own family and the town loser whose tortured soul
reveals a humanity lost on his brother (a brilliant performance by Thornton).
Adapted by Scott B. Smith from his acclaimed
novel. | ||||||||
