In the holiday spirit!

     On this dreary, gross day, I have decided it may just be time to start pulling out the holiday movies.  That and I am declaring this another sick day because even though I took a sick day yesterday I doped up on Advil and cleaned the house because I couldn't stand looking at it anymore...I also felt guilty for laying around while Camden was at Grandmas.

      I am not a huge holiday movie watcher but I have a couple that are musts and am currently looking for a few more to add to our list.

Jen's Must See Holiday Movies

Love Actually
ELF
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

     See a pretty short list.  I also have movies that I hate to watch at Christmas and I know it will shock many as its their favourite Christmas movie but I HATE HATE HATE Christmas Vacation. Are there any must see movies for the holiday season that I missed?

     I am also on the look out for a great children's book about the real meaning of Christmas.  All the ones I currently have are long and don't hold the children's attention.  If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

    OK, so maybe no sick day here, the baby needs way too much attention.  Maybe she will let me lounge?

    Oh Jen.....I can't be your friend anymore. You don't like Christmas Vacation??? Sigh.

    As for a Christmas book, our boys love one called "On this special night" It's about a kitten in a barn, and all these animals come through looking for a rest on their journey to witness something big that is going to happen. It doesn't mention Jesus by name, but it does show that a special baby is born. I found it to tell the story without getting too wrapped up in religion, as we are not very religious here.

    Ok....I'll still be your friend anyways. Maybe I will check out Love Actually too, never seen it.

    OH MY, Hate Christmas Vacation??? LOL!!

    Oh I really enjoy Love Actually too!
    Have you seen The Family Stone(Sarah Jessica Parker, Diane Keaton, Racheal McAdams, the guy who played Coach on the old show "Coach" LOL, I can't think of his name plus a few more)
    There's A Christmas Story (I look forward to this oldie!) The Grinch who stole Christmas (the original cartoon, not that annoying one with Jim Carey), White Christmas (a family favourite here, I will watch it many times now through Christmas!) Miracle on 34th street, It's a wonderful Life..... I could go on

    I can't think of any books or other movies right now, but there's a great play at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 pm and it has a puppet in it and it's really funny. In fact, you guys might know some of the performers. Just a suggestion.
