Elf in the sky

No, there is not really an elf flying in the sky.

Elf playing on the tiny plane television

I am sitting on the plane heading to New York City while typing this. I am going back for Christmas and to see all my family. It is a five hour plane ride which is not too bad but kinda boring. We do not have the small personal televisions on the back of our seats which was a bummer but they do have the little ones hanging from the ceiling. Most movies the airplane screens are old and weird but today they turned on Elf. At first I thought it was just a commercial but as I kept watching it was the full movie. I was pretty low key excited so I plugged in my headphones and watched.
This experience brought me to realize how much I love Christmas movies. Right after Thanksgiving, black Friday and cyber Monday go on. The best thing is starting on December first is ABC Family twenty five days of Christmas begins. Right away I scroll through the upcoming days and record all the Christmas movies that are playing. My dad sometimes yells at me and says that I don't need that many because it fills up the DVR. I don’t listen and record at least twenty.

Some of those include the Polar Express, Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Home Alone and many more. These few are by far my favorites though. Elf might be my favorite movie of all time as well.

When I watch my movies I like to eat either peppermint ice cream which comes out only during Christmas or popcorn with a candy cane on the side. I also enjoy cookies and holiday chocolates and sweets. I am not too big into milk so I prefer a cold glass of water which is lame but hey. I usually watch Elf first and then the non cartoon Grinch.

When I was a little tot the Grinch without cartoons scared me because the Grinch seemed to be scarier but looking back on it the cartoon one is terrible.

If you have not seen Elf before then I am truly sorry. It is a movie about a Human who grew up in the North Pole. He is accustom to the elf ways and then one day decided to go and meet his dad in New York City. When he arrives he tries to figure out to please his dad who is on the naughty list. He learns how to act like a Human and has a fun time doing it. The role is played by Will Farel and he does a good job. The movie is funny and one of the best movies of all time.

So this Christmas make sure you eat some treats and watch some wonderful Christmas movies. They cheer you up and make you laugh.

Happy Holidays,
