I’d like to take this moment to extend a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my family, friends, and community.

This is a time that I hope wish filled with joy, love, family, friends, and food. It’s always been my favorite time of year. It’s a little bittersweet this year for our family. My Dad is gone and our daughter Mindy had to stay on the East Coast due to work commitments (happy she is working, though). We certainly understand how blessed we are and are grateful for that.

Okay…my gift to you today (easy to wrap and send via cyberspace) is my Top 10 Christmas Movies of all time…

1. It’s a Wonderful Life (C’mon – there’s no discussion, right?)

2. Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version)

3. Miracle on 34th Street (Newer version – sorry old schoolers)

4. White Christmas

5. Elf

6. The Santa Clause

7. Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version)

8. The Santa Clause 2

9. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (Love Burl Ives)

10. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon)

Yes, I know there are some honorable mentions like National Lampoon and Christmas with the Kranks. But…I only had room for 10!

Best wishes to you and yours for a very Merry Christmas from the Weedin family. Ho Ho Ho…
