All I Want for Christmas is You, Mariah Carey

Congrats again to the winner of week one's giveaway!  

One of my many favorite TV shows is Glee. While I find it hilarious, I secretly wish that I was a member of New Directions. They seem to have fun with everything they do... 

I digress though, I can't get enough of the Glee Christmas episode. I have watched it THREE times this past week. It's perfect. It captures the spirit of the giving, unselfishness, finding hope in world that seems dismal, and of course fun music! (My friend brought up a good point that they didn't even touch on the true religious message of the season which is sad.)

One of my favorite things is a good Christmas movie or Christmas Special! I still watch the Cabbage Patch Christmas from the 80's,  ELF, The Family Stone, Fa-La-La Lifetime and other favorites!

Anywho, This weeks giveaway is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Many do not think of it as such, but it sits on my DVD shelf next to Charlie Brown, Rudolph and the other holiday classics.

It seems like every time "The Holiday," is on television I get sucked in and end up watching it. I love the humor, heart, and real-ness of this movie.  Not to forget, who wouldn't want to live in a BRITISH COTTAGE or HOLLYWOOD MANSION for a week.  I would die... 

Since I don't have the funds or sponsors to giveaway a trip,  this weeks giveaway provides you a a chance of adding "The Holiday" to your DVD collection, as well as a unique treat to make your holiday season more snack-able!  To enter, provide a comment below answering the question:

Fact: As retailers and others crank up Christmas classics during the holiday season, an overwhelming majority of Americans (87%) have no objection at all to the "jingle bell rock" in public during the "most wonderful time of the year." Only 7% are bothered "a lot" or "some" by hearing Christmas music in stores and public places. Americans are much concerned with the commercialization of Christmas, while 52% are bothered at least some by it. Source: Pew Research Center
