A Little Christmas Fun

First off, let me tell you that Christmas is my very favorite holiday. So, I hope you don't get too tired of hearing about it.

Because of my complete joy in the season, when I saw this post on One Day Two Day, I decided I just had to do it too. It's also a nice distraction. So here go my favorite holiday things:

Favorite "classic" Christmas movie: "White Christmas", hands down. It reminds me sooooo much of my Grandfather.

I'd like to add Favorite non-classic Christmas movie: Elf and Love Actually

Favorite Christmas song: "Good King Wenceslas" for words, "Holly Jolly Christmas" (with Burl Ives!) for sound, and "My Favorite Things" as a whole package. "Oh Come Emmanuel" would be in there, but I don't think it's technically a Christmas song. But I looove it.

Gift I'm most looking forward to giving: Taking my Grandmother to see the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT.

Gift I'm excited to receive: Any! I love gifts and love surprises! I have to say though that I'm mighty curious about a huge oddly shaped box that my Mom brought down as a Christmas gift last visit.

Gift I bought for others that I wish I could keep for myself: wonderful, fuzzy, pink sleep socks from Bath and Body Works.

New movie coming that I'm most excited to see: Harry Potter. Too far away? Ok, I guess The Golden Compass

Favorite snack food I get at Christmas: Cheeseballs and Hickory Farms brown sugar Turkey stick!!!!!

Favorite Christmas cookie that I don't make: Those anise flavored super thin wafery cookies with the designs on them. What are those called again?? Help!

Favorite Christmas cookie that I make: Peanut Blossoms (nod to Seussgirl ;-)

New Favorite holiday coffee drink: no coffee. I do love Twinings loose leaf Christmas Tea though!

Favorite Holiday Dishes: Ones heaped with good food. :D

If you do this, let me know so I can go see your answers too!

MAN, we have wanted to do the EPCOT thing for quite some time now- and always put it off. I really need to be a tourist one day and do it

Yey! So fun!
White Christmas is a close 2nd for me! And I like Elf, too. :)
Oh, and I have the bathrobe from B&BW of the same material as the socks, and it's fantastic.
Thanks for sharing!
