Cellar Scribblings

Do you stream it or watch a DVD?  From what I've seen online, it's only available on streaming services now.

Heck, I've had a DVD for decades.

(Same deal with A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.)

I haven't had anything to play a DVD on for some years (though I think I did once buy an external one I could plug into my computer -- not sure where it is now).

It struck me as odd that a local Walmart was selling DVDs, but they were no longer selling anything to play them on. You can get players--where else?--on Amazon. In the past I've bought DVD players at Walmart.

I can't remember now if it was on Amazon or eBay where I saw devices like I used to have where you could play VHS tapes as well as DVDs.

I have a small flat-screen TV that has a built-in DVD player. I keep forgetting to use it to make sure it still works. I don't particularly like it because you put the DVDs in vertically.

I ran into Santa at the grocery store a couple of Christmas seasons ago. He and I were both trying to find fresh dill in the produce department. He had a big white beard and was dressed in a bright red jacket with fuzzy white trim, red pants and red hat. I let him ask the staff person for the dill because I figured they wouldn't say no to Santa. I kept calling him Santa, even though he had not introduced himself. He asked if I had anything to play a DVD on and I said no, which was too bad because he had a pocket full of CDs of Christmas music he'd recorded and was handing out.
