The Greatest Christmas Movies!

It's nearly Christmas!!!

I know I have been saying this over and over but I LOVE Christmas! What a spectacular time of year! So full of magic, beauty and giving!

So to celebrate last week I shared a list of holiday reads and this week I've made a list of my all time favorite Christmas movies, the ones I just cant get though a Christmas season without watching. I hope you've already had the chance to watch a few and if not yet perhaps you'll be able to watch a few over the next couple of days! Enjoy!

The Grinch

A Miracle on 34th Street

It's a Wonderful Life

Elf

A Muppet Christmas Carol (I really do love this one)

Love Actually

I hope you enjoy!

Holiday Reads

One thing I love about winter is that it's a chance to snuggle in with a warm blanket, a cup of cocoa (or egg nog) and a good book. I love to take the winter season to re-read my favorite books. There are so many books that are perfect winter reads. I'll be honest most of them are considered children's books but they impart such a wonderful level of warmth and comfort that they suit the Christmas season beautifully!

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I hope you've enjoyed my list of winter reads! what are your favorite books to re-read? Are there any special holiday reads for you?

It's Christmas Time!

It's finally December! This past Sunday we pulled out all our Christmas decorations, poured the egg nog, cranked up the Christmas tunes and munched on some delicious ginger snaps.

It was wonderful!! The house smelt wonderfully of ginger and and warm cookies!! There was the soft glow of Christmas lights and joyful sounds of Christmas songs!!

Let's not forget the added fun of holiday egg nog with a sprinkle of cinnamon!

What about you? Have you been busy decorating, baking and dancing to Christmas music?
