From the next installment in the Christmas Prince series to loads of other new titles coming this month … we’re more than happy to curl up on the couch with a blanket (see #8) and hot chocolate and binge-watch the cold away!
Those long, summer days are a faint memory. The days are getting shorter which means winter is truly upon us (all the more reason to tackle those holiday movies!)
First, there were the Black-Friday sales, and before that the pre-Black-Friday sales. Time to check all the gifts* off your list at reduced prices! And don’t forget about the commercials – I know I’m definitely dropping a tear or two on a Christmas ad before the holiday season is over …
Sure Claire from Marketing won the contest last year with her matching reindeer slippers … but you’re prepared this year and have been researching since mid-November! Don’t forget to set your Zoom background to a Christmas scene for extra bonus points if you’re still working from home!
From the SNL Christmas special to the classic Charlie Brown cartoon, to The Great Christmas Light Fight, to the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball … there’s a holiday special for everyone! How are you supposed to shop for presents when the TV is loaded with goodies? (and don’t even get me started on the ABC Family 25 Days of Christmas!)
We’re talking sweaters, scarves, slippers, fuzzy socks, and blankets. All. Winter. Long.
I don’t know about you, but we track the arrival of the giant tree almost as closely as we track Santa on Christmas Eve. Kidding! (kinda). But the tree-lighting ceremony and concerts are the best way to spend an evening to ring in the holiday spirit! And no making fun of the tree this year, this article sums it up perfectly!
Once the big man in red says those magic words, let the holiday season begin!
