Have A Christmas Movie Marathon – Amazing Advent Calendar Day 1
Welcome to Day 1 of our Amazing Holiday Advent Calendar! We have so many fun activities, recipes, DIY projects and holiday AMAZINGNESS in store for you over the next 25 days! We even created a super fun site to help countdown the days until Christmas. Be sure to check back daily!
Ever since the beginning days of Ryan and I’s relationship, I remember hanging out in Ryan’s basement watching Christmas Vacation and laughing until our cheeks hurt! I had never seen that movie until Ryan introduced it to me and now I can’t imagine Christmas without it! My favorite scene is definitely at the beginning when they are picking out their Christmas tree and they are driving along… singing loudly! Fa la la la la ;)… and somehow end up under the tractor trailer truck! (gees- that sounds horrible if you haven’t seen the movie! haha! But it is quite funny actually!) The whole movie is definitely funny, but my favorite part about watching it is listening to Ryan state every word along with Clark and Mrs. Griswald (Ellen) and every other character in the movie! ;) He doesn’t just “say” the lines… but he has their voices to go along with it and it is hilarious! ;) (As I am writing this, he is throwing out the lines… lol… “Don’t throw me down, Clark” “Where are you doing to put a tree that big, Griswald” “I am just blouse…browsing.”) Ahhh seriously, I have tears rolling down my face!
There is no better way to start off the holiday season than with a Christmas Movie Marathon! Yes, Christmas Vacation is ALWAYS one of the top movies on our list! However there are SO MANY Christmas movies that we love and can’t wait to watch: Home Alone 1 and 2, Love Actually, Elf!!… so good, right?! And then of course there are the classics like Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas Story that are just classics and never to be missed!
Seriously, I am pretty sure our Christmas Spirit is not fully released until we watch these movies! ;) Take some time today to pop in one of your favorite Christmas movies! Or better yet, clear your schedule and make it a movie marathon! It is that important! ;) If you make it a marathon, your holiday cheer might just last you throughout the year! ;)
