Christmas Movies Galore

I love Christmas movies. Do you? I've watched my share of Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies the last couple of weeks. Some of them I just adore and could watch over and over, and others I'm pretty much ok with never seeing again. Ha!

I love that they all end up with a happily ever after ending, thank heavens Nicholas Sparks doesn't write Christmas movies. Can you even imagine? Santa's sleigh would probably run over the girl, or the guy would die in some horrible house fire due to bad Christmas lighting. Oh, Nicholas please don't write Christmas movies!!

Anyway!!

Some of my favorites are...

5. Christmas with the Kranks. Stephen and I read John Grisham's Skipping Christmas to each other for years before this movie came out. It was a fun little tradition we had. We would read it on our way home for Christmas, oh the memories. This movie is a hoot. Sweet, funny, and touching. Love it!

4. Family Affair. I had never seen the original of this movie until this year. Robert Mitchum was such a hunk! I usually love the remake better than the original, but not in this case. But I know I'll watch both of them whenever they're on!

3. Shop Around the Corner. Do you know this one? Jimmy Stewart. You've Got Mail is taken from this movie. It's quaint and funny. We love it!

2. Miracle of 34th Street. Well,  of course I mean it's a classic! Both the original and the latest one, the one made in the 80's not so much.

1. Elf. Will Farrell as an elf! Of course! It is so funny, we laugh until we can hardly breathe.

1. (I can have two #1's) Christmas Vacation. Duh! Is there a better one? No! My kids quote this movie all year long. They crack me up!

Honorable Mentions

Christmas in Connecticut. Stephen's favorite and it is really great, I probably should have made a top 10 list instead of a top 5 with two #1's.

A Very Merry Mixup. This is new this year, I think, and we really like it. Such a fun little situation the characters find themselves in. If you get a chance to catch it on Hallmark, DVR it.

Deck the Halls. This one has Matthew Broderick and Danny Devito. So funny and I also like Battle of the Bulbs on the Hallmark channel. 

So, which ones are your favorites?

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
