My favorite kids show is definitely How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I love the Heat and Coldmeiser Christmas Show too. They are cute. I also love Polar Express now. I just love the way it ends with the bell...it makes me cry every time. I got my one daughter a Hallmark Ornament that is the bell. It's cute.
Three of my favorite adult Christmas movies are The Ref, with Dennis Leary and Scrooged with Bill Murray and then National Lampoons Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase of course. :)
I am so READY for Christmas. :)
