I love holiday movies. I love: It's a Wonderful Life, The Bells of Saint Mary's, The Santa Clause, A year without a Santa Clause, and White Christmas. I could also make an argument for the movie Meet me in St. Louis. All of these movies seem to capture for me the idea of appreciating what you have and the appreciation of family. Most of these have songs attached to them and when I hear the songs, I cannot help but sing along or smile. They take me to my childhood and remind me of when I was little.
For this week's blog, think of what makes the holiday season special to you. I know that family is near and dear to each of us. I want you to think about what event, movie, song, etc... makes the Holiday season come to life. My daughters would argue that going ice skating at Lock 3 in Akron is the start of the season or watching Elf as a family is the start. Each of us, however, has our own start to the season.
Describe how you know the holiday season is upon you and if you feel so inclined, link us to your favorite school appropriate holiday song. (Please make sure the song or link is appropriate. No credit will be awarded for inappropriateness.)
