I just finished reading the Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. It's not a Christmas book, but it's very wintery and beautifully written.

I'm just in hree [here] creating my queue for the weekend.
I have love in my heart for both the original and Jim Carrey Grinchs.
Last year The Spirit of Christmas on Netflix. Christmas cheesiness and a ghost story with a ridiculous ending. It was awesome.

I love reading A Christmas Carol this time of year. Dickens is one of my favorite authors, and it's a quick read. I also just read the HIH book club of the month...12 Days of Christmas. Super cheesey, definitely Hallmark movie material!
For movies, my family is big into holiday movie/video traditions. We always watch the following each year:
-Christmas Vacation -Home Alone -Elf -A Christmas Story -White Christmas
For kid videos: -All the Rankin Bass ones - Rudolf, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman -The Grinch (Original cartoon - not the Jim Carrey one) -A Charlie Brown Christmas -Thomas the Train Christmas...I am not a fan, but DS1 is obsessed.
The Muppets Christmas Carol and The Santa Clause are also good...although they have not made the mandatory annual viewing list.

I love Sleepless in Seattle and Family Man. My favorite Christmas movie growing up was Muppet Christmas Carol which I’m still trying to sell to my kids (they prefer elf over and over ... and over). My H can recite every single line from Christmas Vacation so that’s a staple in our house. I also really like that Mickey Snowed In movie on Netflix 🙈 it’s so cheesy and adorable.

I watched Christmas Prince on Netflix last night. I am stealing my parents cable login to watch hallmark movies, lol.

I watch Little Women every year. I also love The Holiday and Miracle on 34th St (the 90s version). I also usually watch the Garfield christmas special. I have the DVD.
I'm excited to show DD The Muppet Christmas Carol and H wants to show her The Christmas Toy.
