Favorite Holiday Flicks

If any of you happen to follow me on Twitter (and if you don’t, why  not?!), you’ll know that I started a discussion of favorite holiday films earlier today. It was so fun to read through the variety in people’s choices; some were old classics, while others were completely new to me—looks like I have plenty of movies to add to my Netflix queue!

Now I present to you Caroline’s List of Top Holiday Films:

  • National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation I’ve been quoting this gem of a movie since age 10. I mean, who doesn’t love Aunt Bethany?
  • White Christmas It has become a tradition in my family to go see this film at the Alabama Theater. You can read all about it in last year’s post.
  • Elf Let’s just say that for about two weeks after seeing this film, I answered the phone by saying, “Buddy the elf here, what’s your favorite color?”
  • Ron Howard’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas I’m pretty sure that my dad and I can collaboratively recite every single line from this movie.
  • The Muppet Christmas Carol Truth be told, I like this movie so much that I bought it on iTunes as a freshman in college…it made for excellent in-flight entertainment while traveling home for the holidays:)

Alright, now it’s your turn—tell me your favorite holiday flicks!

Aside from filling up my Netflix queue, I did manage to eat a few things today.

For breakfast, I busted out one of my latest TJ’s purchases, the frozen pomegranate seeds. They made an excellent addition to my morning oat  bran.

Once lunchtime rolled around, I made a batch of my Mock Tuna Salad, plus a small serving of Acorn Squash Soup.

My dinner featured a de-veganized version of my Curried Tofu Salad. Said de-veganization was due to the use of Greek yogurt (instead of vegan mayonnaise) and egg whites (instead of tofu). Tasty as ever.

Alright, I am off to squeeze in some quality time with Seth. Ciao.
