The first time we went to RomCon we had never heard of Delilah, that soon changed and I now count her as a good friend. In fact my oldest has crush on her daughter, but shh don’t tell him I said anything. She sent us these amazing cookies that I can’t wait to try.
I have three all time favorite Christmas movies I simply would never be able to chose from:
Elf (OMG), A Miracle on 34th Street (the 1947 edition), and the ever glorious It’s a Wonderful Life. I cry throughout each and every one of these and HAVE to watch them all every single year at least once (though it ends up being 3-4 times each)
As far as Christmas music goes:
Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You
Bing Crosby’s White Christmas
Eartha Kitt’s Santa Baby
