Holiday Movie # 6

My FAVORITE Christmas movie (okay, it's in the top 5). Die Hard makes you thankful for your normal, slightly dysfunctional family and holiday traditions. What are John McClane's holiday traditions? Getting shot at, pursuing bad guys, and trying to not get blown up. Sigh. Next up... Die Hard 2 perhaps?

This is my life...

Holiday Movie # 5

A Heartland Christmas. Now, I've got to be honest. I've never watched a single episode of Heartland. I've meant to. But it feels like one of those things (like Lost) that you need to catch from the beginning. But in my pursuit of holiday movies, I watched this one tonight while the residents were in bed. And it was totally cute. And I totally want the power to go out during my Christmas celebrations. And I totally want to live back in the "olden days" (not that this movie takes place in the past) just like I always pretended as a child. There's something about the seclusion of a horse ranch in the middle of the woods that peaks my interest. Sigh.

This is my life!

Holiday Movie # 4

A Town Without Christmas. Starring Patricia Heaton (think Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle) and the adorable Rick Roberts (not in much of anything but has the cutest little freckles). It was... well, it was holiday movie number four. Let's leave it at that.

This is my life...

Holiday Movie # 3

I've gotta be honest. 3am is not the best time to look for holiday movies to watch on TV. BUT, when you're working an awake overnight, you get pretty desperate. Like in this instance. Snow 1? Never even heard of it. But, I quickly got the just of it. And for fun, Tom Cavanagh is a nice blast from my high school past (Ed). So this wasn't a total waste of my time. It had it's cutesy moments, even if it was totally predictable. And I happen to love the term "brain freeze" as I always get it mixed up with "freezer burn".

This is my life!

Just in time for the holidays...

Turkey Butt is having some MAJOR issues at work. His sous-chef (usually the boss of the first cook but in this restuarant they`re even) shoved a sheet pan into his chest for no discernable reason. This led to the two of them on the ground (Turkey Butt on top - he`s an amateur boxer) and the owner`s reaction... Told the Sous Chef it served him right. What the hell! Now I totally don`t agree with these elementary school antics but am definitely worried if this is what the job is coming to. So now, Turkey Butt is talking about giving his notice (with my FULL blessing) and finding another line of work til he hears back from the Armed Forces. Bad timing but SO necessary. Luckily he`s got some money coming in from his second job. And he`s got his jar of money to live off of (so long down south vacation). And all my Christmas gifts are bought and charitable donations given. I think we`ll be okay.

This is my life...

Holiday Movie # 2

I LOVE Vince Vaughan. How could you not? He's this big, goofy teddy bear. And he really plays the best characters - at least when he plays up the big, goofy teddy bear factor. LOVE! And the Siblings Anonymous meeting, brilliant! ``He is not Alec!``

This is my life!

Holiday Movie #1

November Christmas - mainly filmed in my town this summer. I sure do miss all the fake snow and Christmas decorations lining Main Street!

This is my life.
