Favorite Christmas Movies

 
My all time favorite Christmas movie is Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire.  I even remember seeing it for the first time when I was about 10 years old and staying up to watch it on CBS's late movie with my mom.  I fell in love! I will watch it whenever it is on and have been known to watch it at other times of the year as well.  I used to have a copy on VHS.  I really need to get a DVD copy.  I love all the songs and the absolute innocence of it.  Old movies are called classic for a reason.
 

 I also enjoy me some Christmas Story.  I will turn on the 24 hours of a Christmas Story on TBS and leave it on the whole time if no one else changes the channel.  Funny, funny, funny!!
 
 
Tim Allen in the Santa Clause movies also draws me in every time.  He made one of the best Santa's ever.  It made me want an Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile whistle for myself and an elf for a best friend :)
 
 
And finally the old classic, Miracle on 34th Street.  Didn't you just fall in love with Virginia? 
 
 
Those are my favorites....so what are yours?

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
