Blogmas Day 12: Non Holiday Movies I love Around The Holidays

There are a lot of great Christmas Movies... but there are some movies that Aren't Christmas Movies that are just as fun to watch around the holiday season... Sooooo that is what I'm talking about I guess.

1) Toy Story Series 

I love the Toy Story Series... plus what's more fun for Christmas than Toys???? I watch this movie like all year long- not going to lie... but there is something special about watching it at Christmas. It makes me feel like a kid and I can remember when Santa Clause used to bring me new toys and the excitement of guessing what it was.

2) Star Wars 

I love Star Wars... and there's something nice about watching movies that you love in the comfort of your own home on Christmas... and with the new Star Wars Series being released mostly around the holiday season... it just makes sense to watch them all around Christmas. Not something you need to watch at Christmas- especially since not everyone like Star Wars... but if you do... it's fun to watch at Christmas.

3) Frozen
Frozen is almost a Christmas movie... its a winter movie... so it just makes sense to watch around the holidays.

4) Tangled 
Tangled is better than Frozen... so if I'm going to watch Frozen- might as well watch Tangled!

5) Any Disney Renaissance Movie

Again- these were the types of movies I'd get on DVD when I was a kid... so of corse I watch them still around the holiday season. When I was in High School and college my friends and I tried to re-watch all the movies when we could get together during Winter Break... so it's just good.

Some favorites? Aladdin, Hercules, Beauty and The Beast... all of these have a Christmas feel to me. These are also the types of movies teachers would play around the holidays too.

6) Harry Potter- 

Harry Potter usually has a pretty magical Christmas scene... the earlier movies were released around Christmas Time... and it's nice to have something magical to watch at Christmas.

7) Pirates of The Caribbean- 
Okay not really... but for a few years they aired this on Christmas. So... maybe?

8) Musicals 
There is just something Christmas-y about Musicals... so Christmas is the time I like to watch Musicals. Christmas music or not... I just like music from musicals around this time and that's when I like to watch musicals. Whether its Elf the Musical or something like Flight of The Concords or Chicago... or one of the Very Potter Musicals... it's something I like around Christmas.

I think that's actually all I have for today! Hope you guys like it!

9) Mary Poppins- 

I guess this goes along with musicals... but this one is like the ultimate movie musical... and I just really like watching it around the holidays. I'm excited to see the new one which should be out soon... but this is a great movie- and a great Christmas Present for anyone really.

10) Jumanji- 
Jumanji has one Christmas scene at the end... I'm talking about the original one- though I did really like the new version too... This is a great rainy day movie and just a really really fun one to watch when it's cold outside and you want to stay home.

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
