My brain is in such holiday mode right now that I kind of can’t believe that Christmas hasn’t already come and gone. But with only a couple of weeks to go, I’m not slowing down the holiday traditions around here yet! There’s been a cold snap in the LA area and I’ve finally got a chance to do romantic winter things like curling up in bed with a hot cup of coffee and wearing my new cashmere beanie (translation: toque).

This weekend has a few wintery-fun things in store including a holiday party and a trip downtown to go skating with some dear friends. Other than these few trips out of doors, I’m hoping to spend a good portion of the weekend marathoning my favorite holiday movies – some old, some new, all timeless. I’d love to know, are there any other great holiday movies on your list?

I’m a sucker for the feel good sappiness of The Holiday (also, Jude Law is excellent to look at).

Constant giggles watching Will Farrell in Elf.

I could certainly watch this at any time of year, but Love Actually is a must at Christmastime.

A Christmas Story brings back so many childhood memories – still curious slash frightened to try that whole tongue on the flagpole bit.

Every year, my mom, sister, aunt, little cousin and I cozy up for a screening of the classic musical, White Christmas.

Can’t go wrong with the Chevy Chase antics in Christmas Vacation.

Happy marathoning!
