Christmas Time Must Haves!

Josh Groban is amazing, so naturally people went nuts when they found out he was putting out a Christmas CD! This CD is great! My favorite song has to be "I'll Be Home for Christmas". The first time I heard it I almost started crying! If you haven't heard this CD yet, what's the matter with you?!?! haha...


Michael Buble's style is one I love. I have always loved the old classic crooners such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, etc. and Michael Buble has a similar sound to him. This Christmas CD is good, but short. Only 6 songs. My favorite song on this one is "Grown-Up Christmas List".


"Christmastime" is by far one of my favorite Christmas CDs of all time. It isn't Christmas til I hear this CD. I don't know that I have a favorite though because they are all great songs!


"Merry Christmas, Darling". This is definitely a classic Christmas song by Karen Carpenter (and my cell phone ringer!:). The Carpenter's Christmas CD is great. Filled with both instrumental and vocal songs that make the Christmas season more enjoyable!

~*MOVIES*~

"White Christmas" is one of the best Christmas movies ever! Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are hilarious and Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen help to give the movie the push above ordinary Christmas movies. If you have never seen it, WATCH IT!
Favorite Lines:
Bob Wallace: I have a feeling I'm not going to like this.
Phil Davis: I have a feeling you're gonna hate it.
Bob Wallace: Then why should I do it.
Phil Davis: Let's just say we're doing it for an old
Bob Wallace, Phil Davis: pal in the army... yeah

Phil Davis: How much is "wow"?
Bob Wallace: It's right in between, uh, "ouch" and "boing".
Phil Davis: Wow!


"While You Were Sleeping" is a great movie. You can watch it at Christmas time or all throughout the year! It really doesn't matter either way but I think that it is a great Christmas movie because it ends in such a great way!
Favorite Lines:
Lucy: [to Jack] Okay, um. What do you mean by the leaning thing? You mean because he gave me flowers?
Jack: And then you *leaned*
Lucy: And then I leaned.
Jack: Yeah.
Lucy: Okay, how did I lean when I leaned?
Jack: It was a lot different from hugging. Hugging's very different. Hugging that involves arms and hands; and leaning is whole bodies moving in like this
[leans toward her suggestively]
Jack: . Leaning involves *wanting*... and *accepting*. *Leaning*...
Joe Jr.: Hey Luce! Is this guy bothering you?
Lucy: [Laughs] No, no.
Joe Jr.: Are you sure? Because it looks like he's *leaning.*

[last lines]
Lucy: Peter once asked me when I fell in love with Jack. And I told him, "It was while you were sleeping."


"It's A Wonderful Life" always comes on every year after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This year I missed it because I was at college (sad, but I survived!). Favorite Lines:
George Bailey: What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary.
Mary: I'll take it. Then what?
George Bailey: Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair... am I talking too much?
Man on Porch: Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?
George Bailey: You want me to kiss her, huh?
Man on Porch: Ah, youth is wasted on the wrong people.


Mary: [embracing George] Remember the night we broke the windows in this old house? This is what I wished for.
George Bailey: [softly] You're wonderful... wonderful.
