    John Lewis Christmas Ad, the bear and the hare... it's cute, I really want the hare teddy they are selling, it looks so soft! (if you click continue the story link at the end it takes you to their website where you can buy the music, teddies, all sorts) ... but the snow men still win .. x
    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.

    my DH thinks the best christmas film ever is jingle all the way, thats our christmas eve film in the afternoon before the christingle and after everything is done we all watch that.
    Elf is also really really funny i think thats his second fave we never tire of that one
    It really depends on what you like and what sense of humour he has (also if you are watching on your own or with children - there are things like bad santa not seen but heard its funny)

    of our film list DS2 Whos 13 and Dh were going through them
    this is the order they have put them in
    near the top are christmas eve and christmas eve eve films
    jingle all the way DD1 says thats her christmas eve film
    muppet christmas carol
    the polar express pure magic
    Elf whos not had their kids try to convince them candys not a food group after watching this
    jack frost - i love this film but its a bit sad although a comedy
    Nativity - really funny (the adult humour in it goes over kids heads)
    christmas with the kranks
    nat lampoons chrsitmas vacation
    santa clause I II & III aparently we have to watch them all the same day this year!
    merry madagascar
    nightmare before christmas
    Shrek the halls - not seen before
    Santa who - not seen before
    muppet christmas -letters to santa
    eight below - not technically chriastmassy but huskies and snow - i love this film -im more of a cat than doggie person BUT i cry at this without fail most of them are happy tears for worried dog lovers. my DD wanted a huskie after watching this they are lovely arent they

    my films that DS2 refuses to watch
    wonderful life i absolute fave film Dh and me are going to watch this with sherry and choccies while the kids are out
    holiday inn

    the town that cancelled christmas

    HTH

    Hey Guys,
    Not been here very much as you know. Between the kids, blog and work I am super duper swamped and barely have time to breath.
    Still loving the blog though which is about to be 1 year old and more excitedly I have made a small amount of money so yaye. :j Here is hoping I can make a little bit more in 2014 as the blog is pretty much a full time job so it would be nice to be paid.


    But also in light of Christmas present hunting I have 2 giveaways currently running (and my blog friend has 1) which might be of interest to you.:)
    30 packs of Olove olives (ending today). Good for food hamper or for Christmas Snacks
    http://recipesfromapantry.com/wordpress/2013/10/11/olove-olives-review-and-a-giveaway/

    2 sets of moshi monster lunch gear. Each set has a tumbler, a cup, bowl, 3 piece cutlery set, a bottle and a lunch bag. A must for moshi monster fans.
    http://recipesfromapantry.com/wordpress/2013/11/08/moshi-monsters-meal-gear-review-and-2-giveaways/

    6 packs of Jules Destrooper biscuits from another blogger friend - good for chocolate or sweet hampers I guess.
    http://www.london-unattached.com/2013/11/jules-destrooper-biscuits/


    [FONT=&quot] I will be posting more giveaways soon so it is worth keeping an eye on my giveaway

    PS - I hope I am not falling foul of posting rules - if I am please let me know...:eek:

    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk
