Last night he made HOMEMADE Christmas ice cream. Our ice cream maker makes ice cream in 30minutes and it's delicious-even better when frozen overnight. Anyway, last night Tommie ground up mint Oreos and added them to a vanilla ice cream mix and sprinkles. It is now my FAVORITE Christmas ice cream-even better than peppermint ice cream! (*gasp*)
On top of that, he said he had something special recorded for me on the DVR. Lo and behold, it was one of my long lost favorite Christmas moves, "A Smoky Mountain Christmas" starring none other than Dolly Parton herself. (watch the trailer here)
We put a fire in the fireplace, at our delicious ice cream and watched the mediocre memories fly by. (Tommie had never seen the movie...you'll have to ask him whether or not he liked it...) I knew all of the songs and remembered the whole thing pretty much accurately.
Do yourself a favor, find a way to watch it. Tommie found it on CMT playing a few times last week. I'd imagine they have it playing a few more times before Christmas if you're interested. It has an 80% approval rating on rottentomatoes.com. Or, if you like to jump in with two feet, here's a place where I'm pretty sure you can purchase a bootleg DVD of the film.
Enjoy!
