Elf

The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is... singing loud for all to hear...or to relax enough to enjoy the gatherings.

No matter what other fun things you plan for the weekend, if you bust out some movie snacks and sit down to Will Ferrell playing Buddy the Elf…that will be what makes it into your kid’s journal! This movie has been a Christmas tradition in our house ever since it came out.  We LOVE it!

journal entry from December 17 2014. "This weekend, my family watched Elf. It was so funny!" photo of the DVD cover, Mikey watching with Dave and Mikey watching with Will and our golden retriever Ruby.
A family tradition and some time to chill during the zaniness of the holiday season. Win,win.

Remember when I wrote about how the holiday season gets crazy and if you schedule some downtime, everyone will be happier…that is this. This is that.  And it was exactly what we needed!
