Friday Night Christmas Movie – Elf

Elf is a holiday classic. This Christmas movie is funny, heart-warming, and full of cheer. It’s also just a touch irreverent which is good if you ask me. Will Ferrell is at his best here along with an all-star cast featuring Zooey Deschanel, Edward Asner, Bob Newhart, and James Caan. The holidays are not the same without putting this in the Blu-Ray player for a spin.

What are some of your favorite holiday movies?

Hi There Friday, Good To See You!

Well good people it’s Friday. I hope you have made it through the week with minimal trouble. Let’s have a great weekend. Peace and love.

What I Hope People Say

Daily writing prompt
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

My hope is that people say kind things about me if I have earned it. I would hope people would say that I am a good person although I am very human and I do make mistakes.

Happy Hanukkah – Chag Chanukah Sameach

Hanukkah, which is Hebrew for “dedication,” is the Festival of Lights.

It commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greek army, and the subsequent miracle of rededicating the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and restoring its menorah, or lamp.

There’s also lots of celebrations and fried food and other fun stuff.

To all celebrating may you be blessed and full of the spirit of what this means for the world. Also, be safe and know you are loved.

Food For Thought

When you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a higher wall. True food for thought.
