'Tis the season of Tiny Tim and warm hearts...and tears induced by Disney and (who would have thought?) HBO documentaries about paper clips. For those of you who have not gone to see Chronicles of Narnia...go! It does justice to the books we loved as a kid (or adult) and dang if you don't want to just stand up and cheer alongside Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan. And, lovely bits to analyze and compare to The Good Book itself.
Regarding paper clips, I got sucked in to the story on HBO portraying one tiny community's school project to collect 6 million paper clips to have a physical representation of how many Jews died during the Holocaust. Suffice it to say, I was an emotional goner after the principals and teachers started tearing up, much less the visit from the Holocaust survivors from New York who gave their testimony in a packed Methodist church in the middle of Appalachia. (A much better representation of the good folks of Tennessee than Dollywood, I would think).
Just a couple suggestions to fit in between A Christmas Story and watching that crazy Chevy Chase celebrate the holidays for the thousandth time.
