Will Ferrell is fantastic in this story of a man named Buddy who was raised from infancy in the North Pole by elves who work in Santa’s workshop. He finds his real dad in New York City and adventures ensue with his new found brother. He also finds love with a department store worker named Jovie. Buddy helps restore the Christmas spirit. We love this movie, there is some memorable dialogue that we love to quote all the way through.

In light of the shootings in San Bernadino yesterday I though John Pavlovitz’s post was pitch perfect. No more shootouts today.
If you’re an American gun lover, I’m not going to argue with you today.
I’m not going to exchange news articles and opinion pieces and stat graphics.
I’m not going to absorb lazy, tired platitudes about people killing people or about heart problems.
I’m not going to respond to personal attacks or allegations of my disregard for your personal freedoms.
I’m not going to debate which acts of terrorism are worth decrying and which worth justifying.
I’m not going to compare body counts and skin colors and shooter’s names.
I’m not going to trade snarky insults or angry tirades or verbal jousts.
I’m not going to play one religion against another in ascribing culpability.
I’m not going to listen to critiques that I’ve become “too political” over something that to me is far greater than politics.
I’m not going to engage in violence with you as a way of protesting violence.

I love Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, I do. This post is a great idea when watching those highly romantic and highly sappy made-for-TV flicks.
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is sitting down with a hot cup of coffee after dinner and flipping to the Hallmark channel to indulge myself in some romantic Christmas movies. Call me crazy, but I really do enjoy these predictable movies. I say “predictable” because well, they are. Everyone knows the girl and guy are going to get together in the end. Frankly, that’s why I feel so relaxed while watching them!
I’ve come up with a little game to play while watching any Hallmark Christmas movie. I’d call it a drinking game, but I feel like the holidays should be spent somewhat sober. Instead, I’m calling it a cookie game. Every time you check off something on the list I’m about to give you, you get to eat a Christmas cookie. Should be easy, right?
