Last year I shared with you my partnership with PackageFromSanta.com where we unboxed a very special treat sent from the North Pole directly to Bubbles. It was truly one of the highlights of the holiday season for her – one she stills talks about to this day.

Kids can receive a Package From Santa surprise - a personalized package from Santa full of Christmas magic mailed directly to them!

As we removed each Package From Santa item, I watched her excitement grow. There was everything you could imagine: a cookie from Mrs. Claus, reindeer food, hot cocoa, a swatch from Santa’s suit, and a letter from the big man himself. We still have a bit of the reindeer food left, and Bubbles is looking forward to spreading it again this year. Continue reading »

Watching Christmas and holiday movies is one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season.  In fact as a tween and teen (okay, fine, and as a college kid) on Christmas Eve I would stay up as late as I could manage to keep my eyes open and watch them.  Considering we opened gifts at 5 a.m. I think I even managed to pull a few all-nighters.

New Holiday Movies for 2016 include Kate & Mim-Mim A Christmas Wish, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Daniel's Winter Wonderland, and more

I have a few tried and true favorites that I have to watch every year: Elf, The Santa Clause, The Polar Express.  I also like to check out new releases in the hopes of discovering a few new favorites each season. Continue reading »
