It's 5:09am and the fiance and I are up early, wide awake!! Guess we were both too anxious to see what Santa left us =]

We celebrate OUR little Christmas every year on Christmas Eve, we spend the day with one another, have a special dinner and open gifts. We then finish the night off with Christmas movies.

Last year we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas & Home for the Holidays, this year we watched Legends of the Fall & Home Alone.  I am trying to find a movie that would be perfect for just Christmas Eve. The Charlie Brown movie I had never seen before and too my surprise was a bit too GOD related so not the movie for me. Home for the Holidays is one of my favorites that I would always watch with my mom around the holidays but, the fiance does not care for it too much =( Legends of the Fall is another amazing movie I could basically watch two or three times a month, it was the first viewing for the fiance and he said, "I liked it, but I didn't love it" basically once was enough for him. Sigh... Home Alone is a classic, and who doesn't love that movie around the holidays, but I catch myself watching it all year long. Any suggestions from my pals out there for a Christmas movie that the fiance and I will both L.O.V.E and only want to watch on Christmas Eve?? and...by Christmas movie I am talking any movie but we watch it specifically on Christmas Eve.

On another note, I wanted to share a Christmas song I have been enjoying lately:

White Christmas
by Otis Redding

I, I'm dreaming, dreaming of a white, white Christmas, y'all
Just like the one that I used to know, oh
Honey, it's where the treetop, treetop listen
Little bitty, litle bitty, little bitty children should
They try to listen
To hear, before the sleebells that are ringing
through the snow
I wanna tell you one more time what I'm thinking about
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, yeah
With every Christmas, call that I write you, oh now
I want you to know
May all your days, May all your days
Be so very merry, merry and bright
Darling I wished all of them
One more thing
And may all, all of your Christmasses
And be all, and be all of your Christmasses
Baby may your days, may your days
Be so merry, merry, merry and bright
Lord have mercy, I wished all of them honey
And may all your Christmasses
Be so wide
Dreaming of a white, dreaming of a white Christmas
Dreaming, dreaming of a white, white Christmas
Baby, baby, oh I'm dreaming, dreaming of a white Christmas...

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas today, hope it is safe and lovely =]
