Tis the Season

My husband got off work early today and surprised me by putting up the Christmas tree. Yeah! I wanted to do it this past weekend, but he wanted to at least wait until November was in the double digits. I'm so excited to decorate the tree! But I left my ipod at work and I definitely can't trim the tree without playing the Carpenters Christmas Portrait (a tradition....mom always did it too).

Christmas is just a little over a month away and I'm excited to watch all my fav Christmas movies. Along with the standards like "Christmas Story", "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation", "Charlie Brown Christmas" and more, I have a set of what I like to call new Christmas Classics that have become part of my holiday routine. The list consists of:

Love Actually
The Holiday
The Family Stone
Just Friends

Some make me laugh, some make me cry, but that all get me in the Christmas spirit.

What movies mean Christmas for you?

"It's a Wonderful Life" makes me cry like a baby every time! I also love "Love Actually" and "The Holiday". It's been on hbo like 5 times this past month and everytime I surf and see that it's on, I watch it and just love it. We're putting up our tree the first weekend in December. Christmas is going to be very strange without my dad.
