Right now students are sweating out the final exams of their university/college careers. They will walk across a stage to receive a degree that is the cumulation of years of hard work and sleepless nights. Other people are suffering burns of a certain degree that has changed their lives forever. Crimes are being committed of a certain degree of seriousness that will send someone to prison. The weather is measured in degrees. It seems that the word degree has a lot of uses and purposes depending on situations in life. Degree is also a brand of antiperspirant/deodorant that can keep people from sweating the small stuff or the big stuff.
One of the greatest song and dance movies ever made. Bing, Danny, Rosemary and Vera light up the screen and tap their way into your heart. This is a solid, entertaining movie that has stood the test of time. It is a must see each year.
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.”

As you have seen over the past few days I am posting things about Advent which is the season leading up into Christmas. Advent Word is a way that I am expressing myself during the season. Many bloggers are doing the Blogmas program so this is acting as my Blogmas celebration. Let’s enjoy what each of us are bringing to this holiday season.
This blog will not have a mid-season finale or break. It’s not like TV where they do that sort of thing now. You will see posts daily here. Thanks for always coming by and leaving comments and likes. I appreciate all my followers, readers and viewers.
