Happy Christmas Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the festive season.

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

My Top 5 Christmas Films (at the moment)

1. Love Actually – I watch this every year and never get tired of it. I still love the bit where Hugh Grant dances to ‘Jump (for my love)’ and Rodrigo Santoro dancing with Laura Linney is really sweet.
2. Miracle on 34th Street (1994) – Love this version of the film and used to be obsessed with it years ago (I’ve even watched it in July).
3. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – This isn’t strictly a Christmas film but I always remember it being on every Christmas and it was kind of a tradition to watch it every year.
4. The Princess Bride – This is another film that I associate with the Christmas Holidays and used to watch over and over.
5. The Family Stone – A kind of like the crazy family aspect of this film and the fact that things sort of work out in the end. :-)

Your Christmas is Most Like: Miracle on 34th Street

Sweet and caring, Christmas is about helping for you. While Santa may not exist, you try to share his spirit.

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labour does the body.

Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)

Ok, I like the look of the cookie but the result makes me sound a bit like Mother Theresa which I'm not!

You Are a Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie

You are a social, friendly, caring person. You are good at helping people. You have a very giving heart. You are a natural teacher or counselor. You get value from making someone's life better. You are trustworthy, and a natural problem solver.

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.

Aristotle
Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC)

Your Kiss is Pink

For you, kissing is pure happiness... simple as that. You definitely get a little blissed out from kissing, even if you're a bit shy about it. You won't kiss just anyone. Your kisses are special! Young at heart, you still get very excited the first time you kiss someone. Kissing Type: Generous People See Your Kisses as: Sweet You Kiss Best With: A Black Kisser Stay away from: An Orange Kisser

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

US author & journalist (1899 - 1961)
