Twelve movies for the 12 days of Christmas!!
I know I missed some of your favorites, But it’s kinda hard to choose.
I chose The Little Match Girl because it reminds me of my mom.
She had this movie when all the grandkids were little and it somehow got lost.
I have been trying to find another one for her for 15 years and have never been able to find the exact version.
But I will never forget it and I will never stop looking.
Love you, Mom!
Tell me some that I missed and you like to watch.

Things to do on a Beautiful day in December……

Breathe


√Start with a really nutritious breakfast

√Trade your talent or knowledge with a friend who has talent or knowledge. It’s free!

√Adopt an “Angel” off of an Angel Tree and buy them Christmas presents. Then imagine them opening them up on Christmas morning. Nothing gets you in the spirit like that can!

√Buy 8 bags of Candy Cane Tootsie Pops and eat them all year. It is the only Christmas item that I will allow outside of the month of December. Take a bag to work and share it with everyone. It spreads Christmas cheer!

√Buy a miniature Christmas tree for your desk at work. Put lights and little ornaments on it. It’s fun. I promise.

√Give the “Twilight Saga” a rest and read “Careless in Red” by Elizabeth George. It’s about a detective from Scotland Yard. It will get you in the mood for “Sherlock Holmes”. It’s a British mystery and it will make want some tea!

√Go see “Sherlock Holmes” on Christmas day.

√Watch endless Christmas movies on the “Hallmark” Channel and cry your eyes out. The commercials are almost the worst part. Have you seen a Hallmark commercial and not cried? I think not.

√Go Christmas shopping on a Saturday and brave the crowds. Go out to lunch and buy roasted chestnuts’. Immerse yourself in the madness, just once. It makes you appreciate the peace.

Make Christmas cookies

√Get a Peppermint Yogi Nog at Hogi Yogi. So good and it will make you shiver!!!

√Call in sick on a snowy day and sit by the fire with hot chocolate and watch everyone else deal with the snow

√Wear something meaningful that you received from someone you care deeply about and think about them all day

√Eat an orange

√Make Frozen Hot Chocolate (Milk, ice, hot coco mix-whip in a blender-drink it with a straw) just like in “Serendipity”

√Go ice skating

√Take your best friend out to lunch. Get dessert.

√Wear your Uggs!

√Cuddle with whomever you love most

√Say Prayers


Oh, December, have a great month!

P.S.
Dear non nerdy side of the Boob Nazi,
Don't be so hard on the Boob Nazi. She is a beautiful, free spirited, romantic soul. She seems to surprise herself everyday. Don't forget.
Happy Chanukah!
Grandma's rock!



Surprise cupcakes from emptythetrash. Oh, I love him!

My homies!

I know, apparently I am not photogenic. I hate that 8(

Doesn't my sister have white teeth? They totally glow.

I just don't even know.

Our little missing person.

I know, the harder I try the worse it is. But don't my girls and my mom look great?

Love my grandma!

emptythetrash. My heart.

My favorite Christmas treat

Adopt an "angel". Just do it!

My new favorite thing. Thanks Vicki!

Eat a good breakfast! It really helps.



Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.

Kinzy, we totally miss you!
