Sung to the melody of "White Christmas"
I'm dreaming of a big turkey.
With all the fixings on the side.
With the rolls all buttered
and taters smothered
with golden gravy , my oh my!
I'm dreaming of a big turkey
and yummy green beans on the side.
May your pies be delicious and fine.
and may all your stuffing come out right.
I am very thankful for all the blessings in my life. May you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!

I am a "Twilight" geek.
Yes, I am a "Twilight Saga" fan.
I saw a preview for the first movie and decided I wanted to see it, but needed to read the book first. Less than a week later I had read "Twilight" and moved on to "New Moon". Overall I would say it took me less than two weeks reading time to finish all the books once they were available to me.
I am a Fan.
And I am a fast reader.
I have seen all the movies made so far and have been a fan of those as well.
Last night I went to "Breaking Dawn, part 1". Loved it!
Let's be realistic here. The movie critics are hard on these films. Most of them do not like them at all. Well I personally like to form my own opinion when it comes to what I feel will or will not entertain me. I will read reviews on merchandise and such, but when it come to music and movies....I would rather be the judge.
My Husband does not feel that way. Sometime he seems to live by reviews. Come to think of it, we have not been to a movie together in a very long time. Mainly because we have a toddler and also because my taste in movies has changed a little. I used to be able to handle guns and violence in movies to a point......now too much of it makes me nauseous. Of course those are the kind of movies he prefers.
I need a date night.
Anyway back to "Breaking Dawn". Those of you who have not seen it.....I do not intend to spoil here and I hope that I do not divulge too much.
Be aware....you have been "Spoiler Alert"ed as they say.
They did an amazing job on Bell's makeup in this movie. Not sure how they did it if there was a lot of makeup or a lot of CG or a great combination. AH-Mazing. It was perfect!
The music...ah the music. I personally love and have the sound tracks to all the movies so far except this one and I will be getting it soon. I loved that they brought in songs from all the films so far and worked them into "Breaking Dawn". The song at the wedding during the vows is the song that Bella and Edward danced to under the gazebo at prom. I love that song. The melody is so beautiful. Also love that some of the score of the movie was instrumental versions of several of the songs from the previous films.
Yay for Stephenie! She was a guest at the wedding. I loved seeing her in one of these movies again. I cannot remember her being in either "New Moon" or "Eclipse". (Please correct me if I am wrong) I was so glad to see her again! Love your work Stephenie! I would like to see "The Host" brought to the big screen. That is also a great book, that I highly recommend.
Those of you have read "Breaking Dawn" know how the birth of the baby plays out. When they announced they were making this movie, I was very unsure how they would do this particular sequence. I was very glad with the way that they did it. I though that they showed enough, but not too much to make you not want to watch it.
The ending is great. I liked where they ended it and how they ended it. It left me wanting more and anticipating the next one which I believe will be out next year. Yay!
By the way you have to stay through the credits to see an additional scene.
I thought the director of "Breaking Dawn" brought some great things to the movie. I liked the beautiful scene and CG montages when Bella is changing and when Jacob imprints.
Overall I give "Breaking Dawn" a solid thumbs up. I am excited to see how they will end the series, though I will be sad to see it come to a close.
If you have not seen it, go. Hope I did not spoil too much!
