When I used to make a display of Christmas movie rentals at the grocery store, I always included Edward Scissorhands, because it seems like a Christmas movie to me.
That's on the On Demand list, too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Because books.
I always watch Meet Me in St. Louis at Christmas, too. It's so nostalgic and lovely, and there is the great Christmas scene.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Favorite Things isn't a Christmas song though.
Doesn't stop people from considering it one, though. Last time I saw it mentioned as one was on the gawker network's worst Christmas song elimination. But it's totally not the first time, and I doubt it will be the last.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, you know I think you have a point:
They are conflating Winter movies with Christmas movies. That said, "Sound of Music" also does not have a lot of winter on display. Most of the action takes place in the spring or summer based on the clothing and blue skies.

Baking people: if a recipe calls for fresh or frozen cranberries, do you think substituting dried is okay?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Amy, if you use dried fruit in place of fresh/frozen, you might have to increase the liquid (water, milk, etc.) in the recipe to compensate for the amount of liquid the fruit would have contributed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They are pretty different, so you'd probably have to adjust something else, but I'm not 100% sure what. It's not as extreme as grapes vs. raisins (because cranberries aren't as wet as grapes), but it's got to be similar. What's the recipe?

It's a cookie recipe, and there's almost no liquid in it aside from vanilla and one egg. Hmm.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When Franny was a toddler I tried to watch "The Sound of Music" with her, but the moment it started with the music swelling and Julie Andrews spinning on the mountain top and belting out "The hi-ills are a-liiiive..." Franny burst into tears! Too much emotion! Her little body couldn't handle feeling all that emotion at once.
