A Little Bit of Christmas

I only have photos from two out of the five parties I attended for the past three days. I was just too exhausted and full to take more which I slightly regret. Anywhere here is a slight peak at my holiday celebrations.

On Thursday, Perry, Christine, Ashley and I decorated Ashley's tree! It was a lot of fun. Afterward we played Just Dance. I'm addicted.

Adopt a Family

Today, my friend Perry and I photographed the gift-wrapping session for Adopt a Family which is held by Capture the Dream. Adopt a Family is just like the name implies; you can adopt a low-income family and provide them with gifts they otherwise could not afford for the holiday season. It felt like I was one of Santa’s elves.

Next week we get to witness the revealing of gifts! I’m excited.

Christmas Tree Selection!

Today, I went to a party of one of my mom's clients and met Santa. He hooked me up with a teddy bear. Haha. Afterward, we finally got our tree! It took a long time to decide on a tree. At first my mom had one but then changed our minds at the very last minute. I'll post some pictures of the before and after as soon as we get new Christmas lights.

Thanksgiving

Although there is one more holiday before Christmas, I must get a start on organizing my holiday music and making a Christmas playlist. When it's finish, I'll share. :)

Halloween Weekend Round-Up

So, my dog destroyed my glasses, Perry and Linda visited on Halloween, and I recycled some old Towel Costumes. Overall, a good weekend.

The Holiday Season Is Just Around The Corner

I don't know about you all, but I get so excited about potentially good holiday films. Love Actually, Just Friends, and Serendipity are some of my favorite films of all time, in fact. They might not be Oscar worthy, but they are feel-good holiday fun. There are probably more holiday films I love like the classic, Home Alone or The Shop Around The Corner (or the present-day version, You've Got Mail), but if I named them all, that would take more work than one post. Maybe it can be a new goal! List and watch my favorite holiday films. Sounds like a plan to me.

Anyway, what I posted above is the trailer to the film Arthur Christmas which is due for release in theaters in November. The film looks cute and hopefully it receives some decent reviews or I might not watch it until it's released on Netflix or something. I'm excited for it. I think it's only around the holiday season when I can appreciate films meant for family/child audiences.
