rudolph movie, goodman, newhart

 this morning i put in a DVD movie, a recent purchase from e-bay, 'rudolph the red nosed reindeer'. i bought it because i liked seeing who was in the voice cast, john goodman and bob newhart. goodman was santa and newhart was the polar bear. it is hard not to compare it to the 1964 version, which is a classic. it is not an exact retelling, i knew this right away as some parts of the story were changed. some characters were added and taken out. it was all right, i liked the performances by those two, but it is not as good as the earlier one. i made it to the post office, two orders were picked up. and i had legal documents to send by certified mail to oklahoma. while there i bought a snoopy card as there was an ornament attached to it. so it means i added two to my tree as one of the orders was also an ornament. then i made it home and had a pot pie for lunch. later on i went to aldi for groceries. in the evening i went to the saints stadium for the holiday lights festival event. notable about being there was going on the giant slide much like last year. and when i saw santa in his warming house i said i didn't have any wishes. i am thankful for my health and for having a good job. i know not all have these things. i noticed there was a zip line added his year, but that is not my thing. i got some apple cider and two cookies. i stayed until closing time, 90 minutes there in all. plenty of pics from there, including rudolph and frosty in lights, frosty near the big slide. along with gingerbread cookies in lights. later in the evening i went on a walk and found 26 cents.
