Me, Myself & I V.5

**I would like to congratulate our two lucky winners in the Rally to 2K giveaway: Paige & Brittany!

1) What are your top 5 favorite movies during the holidays?
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Confession to make... I wasn't yet alive in '89.  But Chevy Chase is sure at the top of his game in this homage to the love/hate event that is the family Christmas. 

"I dedicate this house to the Griswold Family Christmas."

"Bend over and I'll show you."

"Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now." - Clark Griswold

Elf
I'd say one of Will Ferrel's first in a long line of classics.
"First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookie-dough as fast as we can, and then we'll snuggle."

"We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup."

 "Santa! Oh my god! Santa's coming! I know him! I know him!"



"I just like smiling, smiling is my favorite" - Buddy the Elf

A Christmas Story
"Oh my god, I shot my eye out!"Ralphie 

The Grinch
Jim Carrey is my home boy

Bad Santa
Only because I'm in love with Billy Bob Thornton...go ahead, judge.

2) It's the month of giving thanks, what are you thankful for?
My brother is getting the help he needs, things are finally looking up and I couldn't be prouder of him. Post to come.

3) If there was a verse to describe your life, what would it be?

4) Who in your family are you most like?
My mother. to a tee. We literally think the same thoughts.

5) What is your favorite drink to order at Starbucks?
Look out Pumpkin Spice Latte, this girl's now addicted to Chai Tea Lattes!
Disclaimer:  As an intern in DC this summer, each and every day on my way to work, I lie witness to several homeless men digging thru trash for breakfast, only to arrive at my office to a line out the door at Starbucks. I just got to thinking, you could buy a meal for the price you pay for a Frappucino. I wish more people would sacrifice their over-priced morning pleasure, just one day a week, to help feed someone in need.

Holy Moses, if I didn't feel bad enough about my approaching 29th birthday, you go all out and say you weren't born in 1989. Geeesh! Regardless, Christmas Vacation is atop my list of favorites too. I forget about Bad Santa, so hilarious. My mom and I could be twins too, except I'm 2-feet taller. Go figure. Blessings to you this day and happy Thanksgiving!!!

Those are all awesome movies. I'm still kicking myself for not adding in Elf or Home Alone. I know right? That quote is one of my all time favorites. I'm in the process of working it into a tattoo. And I agree about Starbucks.

I was barely born in '89 :) I love your movie choices! Bad Santa cracks me up. My boyfriend made me watch it for the first time a couple years back.
I love that quote.
It is always so sad seeing all the homeless out on the street. I give as much as I can which unfortunately isn't much.

Breanna said...

Love your answers girl especially those movie choices and so true about your disclaimer. It's sad :(

Happy Tuesday!

Kristen @ KV Confessions said...

I love the Grinch! Its always such a good little movie :) & what is in the Chi's?

Lucy said...

Goodness, I am a huge movie buff and I love Old Movies and I am talking Super Duper old (see you are the same age as my kids, my oldest was born in '88 and my youngest in '91). Anyway, I just can't say which is my favorite, my kids love Home Alone 1 and 2! So, that is at the top. I love Miracle on 34th Street (the original one with Natalie Wood) White Christmas and oh, goodness I could name some many more but you are right Christmas Vacation is awesome!!

Oh, and I totally agree, really wish we would think about giving a little more and spending a little less on us, I am sure we could spare 5 bucks here and there!

gayle said...

I have three of your five top Christmas movies in my list, too! Elf is a MUST, I love the Grinch with Jim Carrey, and a Christmas Story is just CLASSIC.

I hope you visit my blog, too! Thanks for hosting such a fun event each month, I'm looking forward to participating in the future, and MAYBE being a contributing question-submitter! :)

If we think about the meaning of the saying like, installing regards to an amorous romantic relationship using an additional, yet as the sense which is engendered for those who have miltchmonkey the best romance with ourselves also ( space ) or even being a sense of larger unity with your family or simply humanity * then it becomes a lot more clear that each someone wants in your everyday living is usually like.
