'Tis The Season

Happy hump day!


I apologize for missing last week blog friends, family, and rando followers, but things were a little hectic and I really didn't have too much to say.


However, this week, how can we not talk about the Big Guy's holiday? Santa is coming?! Here?? I know him!!


During this time of year, our lives are over taken by family parties, work parties, buying presents, spending money, decorating xmas trees, wrapping, etc. on top of the normal rigor of everyday life (i.e. work) and planning for New Years. It's hard to juggle all of these things, but I mean it's worth it right? You can't beat this time of year ... everyone's in good spirits (kinda), work shuts down for at least a few days (some people a few weeks), schools out, people are around you may not see enough. Overall, good times. 

With those good times comes a little bit of stress. It's not always an easy time of year, for a lot of the reasons I mentioned above, and it's important to keep things in perspective. The big picture and what really matters. We are about to start a new year and can make that whatever we choose to make it. For me, as you know from my lofty 30 before 30 list, I'm planning for it to be the best yet. Keep that in mind when you starting to get a little stressed out over the next week ... or just go bowling and play photo hunt for a few hours. 


Ok, so the Marshy Blog question I have for you is: 


What is your favorite Christmas movie? You know it's going to happen. Curled up on the couch, bottle of wine/Jack, Christmas tree shining, fire burning, woman/man in your arms ... what's on the tube?


Here are a few classics (in no particular order):


Elf
The Polar Express
Christmas Vacation
How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Home Alone
It's A Wonderful Life
The Holiday
A Christmas Carol/Story
Miracle on 34th St
Love Actually
Wizard of Oz
Four Christmases 
Bad Santa (ok, that was a joke ...)

Nat, you have such a pretty face, you should be on a Christmas card.
Oh, you just made my day!



Enjoy the holidays all. I know I will. It's been a blast so far and I'm very much looking forward to the next couple of weeks with Nat and our families. 


Seasons Greetings and tidings of comfort ... and joy,
Marshy
