My Fav Christmas Movies!

My favorite Christmas movies to make me feel like it's the holiday season!

Nothing gets me more in the spirit for the holidays than cheesy Christmas movies (as you can see from more ridiculous dvd collection)! Cuddling up on the couch with hot cocoa, a plate of sugar cookies and settling in to watch a fairly predictable plot line makes me feel like it really is December.

On days like today when I look out the window and see how gloomy it is, I just want to stay inside and see some of my favorite classics! I suggest grabbing your honey and a blanket, and enjoying one of my favorites below.

Too much left to do? Easy, let the movie get you in the spirit.  Search for those last minute gifts online or wrap the presents in front of the TV.  Prep those holiday cookies and watch excerpts of the movie while they're baking in the oven.  You'll be shocked how productive you can actually be with a little holiday spirit on in the background!
