Happy December! For those of you excited about Christmas, I thought I'd illustrate and share a few of my favorite things about this joyous season we're in!

My Favorite Christmas Movies
Love Actually (2003)
Quite possibly my favorite movie quote of all time comes from this movie. And it's quite fitting for the current times.
Prime Minister: Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

The Christmas Toy (1986)
The top toy in the playroom gets jealous when a new toy (from space!) comes onto the scene! Also, all the toys FREEZE if a human sees them. Yeah, this plot line doesn't show up ANYwhere else!

Santa Claus: The Movie (1985)
If you don't know this Christmas movie, you're not a true child of the '80s.

Favorite Christmas Songs
Christmas Time In Arkansas music and lyrics by Ned Perme; vocals by Terry Rose
You know you're from Arkansas when…

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses
A girl too busy to enjoy the season? Sounds familiar.

Decorations And Treats
Hallmark Ornaments
My mother passed her love of these keepsakes on to my sister and me! I love my Crayola and Mischevious Kitten ones!

Sequins and Tinsel
The more sparkle the better!

Vintage and Retro Decorations
Nothing says Christmas like a box of Shiny Brite ornaments and a hand me down tree that always leans to the north!

Snowball Cookies
I've made these cookies every year since I was 12 years old back in 1996!

Elaborately Wrapped Presents
It's what on the outside that counts! ;)

Celebrating The Reason for the Season
Walnut Street Baptist Church Festival of Christmas
The story of how God sent His only Son to earth as the ultimate gift presented in song and drama

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at Marvell First Baptist Church
Singing carols and reading the Christmas story by candlelight with my hometown church family
