top 3 holiday movies:

nativity story...one of the best movies i have ever seen. we have a tradition in our house to watch this every christmas eve...it gets us back into the real reason for the season. i highly recommend this movie. it's beautiful. bring your kleenex along.

have you seen the family stone? while it's not completely a "holiday" movie, it takes place during christmas time...so, i consider it one of my favorite holiday movies!

a christmas story...do i even need to explain? all i can say is tbs, tbs, tbs if you haven't seen this movie!

Favorite holiday cookie:

hmmmm...i have many favorite cookies...i'd have to say a good ol' fashioned chocolate chip cookie (fresh and warm from the oven) makes my stomach happy :)

Favorite holiday songs:

Silent Night

Little Drummer Boy

Rudolph

Favorite Holiday Tradition:

Since i've had children, my favorite tradition is when we put up the tree...i never thought i'd be so laid back about the experience, but nothing warms my heart more, than to see the joy on their faces as they are decorating the tree...and yes, the tree tends to be heavily ornamented in one lower corner, but it's sweet like that, and they worked really hard to make it look so pretty. (in fact, we set the tree up today, and i counted...on one tree branch there were about 20 ornaments :) ) i love those kids.

Least Favorite part of the Holiday:
