I love eveything there is about this movie. The dancing, the flirting, the singing. Sometimes I love Bob Wallace more, then sometimes I love Phil Davis more.

This stuff is really magic. Mostly because it is gone is seconds as your guests will pile huge dollips into their hot cocoa. My sweet sister-in-law, Jeanne, first introduced this to me years ago and I have been making it for parties ever since.
Buy peppermint candy canes or even just peppermint round candies. Then using [...]

We have 3 Christmas parties this year that require a White Elephant gift. I love this game. It was horrifying to watch “The Office” play it, but it is always fun to see what people give. Sometimes there are those gifts that are really just garbage and people should think twice about wrapping them. Then [...]

Here some other fun Advent Calendars that help count down the 25 days until [...]
