25 Days of Christmas!!!!

It is December 1st and that means......it is the start of ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas!!!!!! Jordan and I have been having a Christmas movie marathon all day today so far by watching The Family Stone, The Family Man, Three Days and now ABC Family is showing ELF! Seriously, best loungefest and laziest day ever! And we have loved every minute of it! By successfully wasting away today, we have vowed to be productive tomorrow and keep each other focused to get some work done! But as for today and the rest of tonight, we are going to enjoy being snuggled up and soak up some holiday cheer! ELF is one of our Top 5 favorite Christmas movies so what better movie to end the day on! Good news, I saw a dog today!

I remember growing up watching Nickelodeon like it was my job and they always had random facts or quotes for each day. Does anyone else remember that? I know some of you 90's kids probably do. Anyway, the one I always remember and think of was "rabbit rabbit." Supposedly, on the 1st of each month, when you wake up and if the first thing you say is "rabbit rabbit" then that is going to bring you good luck for the rest of the month. So guess who has been waking up and saying this to herself (and sometimes outloud) on the 1st of each month....yep, this girl. Maybe that explains why I really am so lucky and I'm always winning things. Shoot, now my secrets out which means any prizes that you win in a month when you said "rabbit rabbit" should automatically be turned over to me. 

With the 1st of December also brings two other very exciting things. First off, it means the start of Ellen Degeneres 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS!!! Which by the way, I should totally be attending. Hey yo Ellen, why haven't you returned any of my emails?? I've been emailing you like crazy, submitting stories and pictures left and right. Show me some love why don't you and invite me to your show!! Ok enough of that, I'll keep dreaming about it later. The other exciting thing is today also starts ABC FAMILY 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS!!! One Christmas movie a day for the next 25 days?! Umm YES please!! There is nothing better than snuggling up on the couch with the tree lit in the corner and playing a Christmas movie to get you all jazzed up and in the Christmas spirit! Although, I won't lie...there will be some of their movie choices I won't be watching. Like the clay animation movies. Ehh, I've never been able to stand those. On those nights, since Jordan is obsessed (seriously, in love) with all things Christmas, we'll choose from our own movie selection of holiday favorites! 

Elf....one of the best Christmas movies!

One last thing that the start of December also brings is a whole mix of emotions around the holiday season. Being surrounded by all of my family and friends makes me feel truly blessed and so lucky. It also makes me miss those so much that have left my life, some way too early. It really isn't fair but I know they would all be so proud to see what we have accomplished. I hope this month brings everyone plenty of family time, laughs, smiles and joy. I for one, can't wait for all of the home cookin' and a little friendly competition during our family Christmas games! It's on, booyahh!
