The Holiday (movie)

Last night I saw THE HOLIDAY and I must say it was such a good movie and if you have not yet seen it you soooooo have to before he holiday season is over!!

The Holiday is a sweet romantic comedy featuring pretty people, pretty houses, and pretty decent acting. If you're ready for the cinematic equivalent of cotton candy, then The Holiday is just the sweet confection for you.



MOVIE TRAILER


Iris is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman. Across the globe, Amanda realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. Two women who have never met and live 6000 miles apart, find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris' handsome brother Graham and Iris, with inspiration provided by legendary screenwriter Arthur, mends her heart when she meets film composer Miles.

Mom's Ornament =)

Every year my Auntie would buy two ornaments and send my mother a Christmas ornament for the tree. Last year was the first Christmas without mom but my aunt still found an ornament and also bought two. She never sent it to me because she was scared to. When I talked to Auntie sometime after Christmas I made a comment about us not getting an ornament. You see I love keeping up traditions and I love when people want to do the same thing but sometimes its hard when you try to keep traditions up alone. My Auntie did send me the ornament but not until after Christmas last year so I tucked it away someplace safe (under my bed hehe) and made a decision to hang it on moms lighthouse tree. It felt right because that was moms tree!

HERE IT IS :)



MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HEAVEN
"I love you all dearly now don't shed a tear cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year"

Tis the Season

I have been debated on decorating a tree for a while only because that was moms job.
::Duties::
Mom-Tree
Chrissie-inside house and stairway
Bro and Dad-lights outside with mom right there supervising what they were doing.

Its hard to take over someone else's position after all these years. I went back and forth on this decision for a long time and the closer it got to the date of getting a tree the harder I was taking it and the more I just did not want to do it! I asked Alyssa to help me with the tree a while ago (backing out at times) but in the end it got done . She did more sitting on her ass and complaining about the way the wires from the lights being put on this big ass tree were showing than helping hahaha but because of her it got done. Let me tell you ever since we decorated it every day I make it a piont to sit in that room and just look at the tree! Its not the same as if mom did it but its up :)!!!Ohh yeah Alyssa put those ornaments on the tree I made in Elemm school with my picture on it well yeah those all came down but I did leave bros up hahaha!!

Its a good feeling and one I have not felt in a while! I can say for the first time in a long time I feel happy that everything has been so perfect. Well as perfect as it can be!!

THANK YOU ALYSSA xxoo!!

-The tree is up
-Its all decorated
-The house inside and 1/2 out is decorated
1/2 because the roof is not done yet and we cant do the lights on the top of the house till it gets done! The outside was drama in the making because you cant leave men alone for one min haha but its all god now Chrissie fixed it!
-Dad and Bro bought me my cute snowman hehehe its small Frosty's arms are twigs with snow on them hehehe I LOVE HIM!!
-everything looks sooooooooo perfect
(even though we are missing one thing)






I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thingthat I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
