What are you saying hello to this today? I'm getting very much in the Christmassy spirit and am looking forward to cookies and Russian tea and reading Christmas books and watching Christmas movies and most especially the tree.

I need some recommendations for Christmas movies. Which are your favorites??

There are 3 movies I watch every year. It wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't see them. It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and Scrooge.

Hello Russian Tea? My Mom and I haven't had it in about 3 years due to the tang situation (it seems like tang has changed their formula and its not as tangy?!) Have you noticed that? Maybe its just us and we should try again this year! I do miss it:)
