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.

The first cinematic movie we see each year is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It’s a timeless classic. It enhances our holiday spirit. This movie is highly quotable any time of year. Joy to the Griswolds.
Hello there Friday it’s good to see you. I hope you are having a great day in advance of the weekend.
At midnight Taylor Swift released new music which is always fun for her many fans. The new album is named “Midnight” and from what I hear it’s well received. Her songwriting is terrific and she is a great performer.

We can’t forget there’s Halloween fun to be had in most places. America still has Thanksgiving coming up. One thing at a time in its own time.
Love and peace to you all good people.
Love Actually IS all around and Christmas IS all around us. It’s not Christmas without a visit from this highly talented cast. This is a holiday classic.
Tonight was “Elf” night as a part of the holiday movie season. Here are a few favorite quotes from this terrific movie featuring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Zooey Deschannel, Ed Asner and Bob Newheart
“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.”
“I planned out our whole day: First, we’ll make snow angels for two hours, and then we’ll go ice skating, and then we’ll eat a whole roll of Toll-House cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we’ll snuggle.”
“I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly-twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.”
“This place reminds me of Santa’s workshop…except it smells like mushrooms and everyone looks like they want to hurt me.”
“Buddy I hope you find your dad, Thanks Mr. Narwhal”
“I just like to smile; smiling’s my favorite.”
What are your favorite quotes from this modern holiday classic movie?
I am a dude who loves a good rom-com and “The Holiday” is indeed a holiday favorite. Nancy Meyers gives us a comedy that is romantic, complex and very contemporary. Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Rufus Sewell and the late Eli Wallach make this movie something special. When people trade where they live their lives anything can happen.
