When it comes to the holidays, we all have our favorites- movies we’ve shared with loved ones, songs we’ve sung while baking cookies or places we like to visit. Today, I’m sharing my favorite movies. For me, that’s a big deal because I rarely watch TV or movies, but this time of year inspires cuddling. There’s nothing better than curling on the couch with my hubby and kids to watch a classic. So here are mine…

A Christmas Carol“”So many renditions of this classic story have been made, but my favorite is Patrick Stewart’s version. I love following along with Scrooge’s redemption from his self-imposed exile to when he enters church on Christmas morning and embraces the lessons he’s learned. My favorite part of this movie is when the ghost of Christmas Future shows Scrooge a chilling glimpse of his bleak outcome if he doesn’t change his life. Reading Charles Dickens’s book and watching this movie are two traditions I enjoy engaging in every year.

A Charlie Brown Christmas“”I love all of the Charlie Brown movies, but this one teaches a wonderful life lesson about not allowing the commercialization of the holidays to override the true meaning of the season. My favorite part of this movie is when Linus recites from the bible while holding his security blanket and concludes with the simple statement,
““¦That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

Rudolf, the Red-Nosed Reindeer“”No Christmas is complete without this wonderful children’s movie. Embracing our differences is an important message for kids and adults. This movie reminds us of it with an adorable tale of misfit toys and reindeer games. Watching a tamed Abominable Snow Monster put the star on the tree is my favorite part of this movie.

So what are yours?

A Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

Excerpt
The butterflies in Jazz’s belly took flight. The man was a romantic. “You know, I’m starting to enjoy the odd way you talk. It makes me feel as if I walked into a world where princesses wait to be swept away by their knight in shining armor.”
Rafe grinned, the sad look replaced by amusement. Releasing her hands, he slid his around her waist. “You would make a beautiful princess.”
“Would I?”
“One to be fought for.” He twirled a lock of her hair around a finger. “What about me? Would I fill the role of your knight in shining armor?”
She smiled, completely charmed by this man. She ran her hands over his chest, luxuriated in the layers of muscle under her palms. “I don’t know if any horse would be able to carry you for long. I see you more as a warrior, a conqueror.”
“One who demands the bonny ladies as his reward after a battle?” He swept her into his arms. She gasped and grabbed his shoulders. Lust heated his eyes as he mapped her face. “Oh yes, I like this fantasy and in it I get to choose you as my booty.” He bent his head closer so his golden eyes filled her vision. “I think I might keep you, Jasmine.”
Her breath hitched. “I think you have a wild imagination.”
“Or a hopeful one.” He eased back but watched her with that focused gaze she was starting to associate with him. “I want you.”
The lust-hazed glint to his eyes told her exactly what he wanted. For once in her life, she did too””but it couldn’t happen. She had responsibilities. Spontaneity and motherhood did not mesh. The little episode in Josh’s office proved that. She would’ve been mortified if Sara walked in while they were having sex. Everyone in town would’ve known within the hour. The other playgroup moms would find out, maybe shun her or at least look at her negatively. No. Any liaisons she had would have to be planned and kept hidden.
She licked her upper lip. “I haven’t had sex in a really long time, Rafe.” She dropped her gaze and stared at his chin. “What we did tonight wasn’t like me either. I’m not like that. Easy.”
He brushed his lips over her forehead. “I know.” He set her on her feet and took her hand. “Come, let’s get you home.”
