On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me:

…….family time.  So by today I’ve blogged for 12 straight days about Christmas and it’s been great.   Now I’m in the home stretch; there is one week until my kids get out of school and I’ve got presents to wrap, cards to mail and meals to plan.  I really try to do all my shopping and most Christmas preparations before my kids get out of school so that I am able to spend time with them and just have fun.

Besides baking cookies and playing games like Clue and Monopoly, we love to watch holiday movies next to the fireplace while drinking hot cocoa.   A Christmas Story, Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas With the Kranks, and The Santa Claus are some of our favorite movies.  But I think my absolute favorite holiday movie is Elf.  Will Ferrell is HILARIOUS as Buddy the Elf!   If you’re never seen this movie you missing a wonderful opportunity to laugh out loud.   And who doesn’t like to laugh?  Ho Ho Ho!

What is your favorite holiday movie?  How do you like to spend family time during the holidays?
