Ahhhhh. Nothing like some computer troubles to get your Monday started off on the right foot! Thankfully, everything seems to be resolved now, but my goodness is it annoying when you’re computer is going whacky and you have NO idea what the heck is going on.
Anywho…happy Monday, everyone! How was the weekend? Judging by my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram feeds, it looks like quite a few of you were getting into the holiday spirit this weekend. I saw lots of pretty Christmas trees and yummy baked goods happening! Although I didn’t have those things going on, I did still have some festive stuff over here…

So in other news, Cody has been absolutely NUTS this morning. Running all around the house like a maniac, in full attack mode, with eyes that just scream “I am feisty.”
I took that picture with my iPhone and after seeing how grainy it is, it sort of reminds me of the part in Elf when they see Buddy running through Central Park and show him on the news.
Of course, I couldn’t find a photo of what I’m talking about, but it’s when he’s running through the park and looks like the photo above.
Then again, I have seen that movie about 3 times over the past two weeks, so that might also have something to do with the correlation? Can you tell that it’s one of my favorite Christmas movies of ALL time??

Breakfast
Guess what’s baaaaaaack?!
Two toasted waffles (some of you asked – I’ve been getting Eggo NutriGrain lately because I love how you get 10 to a box) one with PB&J, the other with PB & banana.
Looooooove these things.
I’ve got a full Monday ahead of me, including some recipe making, some recipe writing, some training plans, some errands, and a few other tasks that I put off over the weekend. Time to get to it!
Question for the Morning:
What’s your favorite holiday/Christmas movie of all time?
I don’t have just one…in addition to Elf, I love A Christmas Story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and Love Actually.

My favorite Christmas movie is definitely The Grinch, as my family and I watched it together every Christmas when I was a kid. It’s just not Christmas without The Grinch! I think I’ve only seen half of Elf. I’ll have to watch the whole thing this year!
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections recently posted..A Lazy Sunday & Happy Weekend!
Love Actually is definitely one of my top favorites too! We just rented it a couple weekends ago because I saw it in Redbox. I really just need to buy it. I also love Home Alone!

Favorite Christmas movie? Ahhh it would have to be a tie between Elf, Miracle on 34 Street and The Family Stone!
Hannah recently posted..It Will All Be Worth It
I would have to say It’s a Wonderful Life is my favorite. We watch it every single Christmas eve and have since we started dating. It’s such a classic but holds significant meaning. I do love Elf though!
Happy Monday sweet girl!

Home Alone 1 & 2 are amongst my fave- they never get old!

Oh man – that’s hard to pick! I think A Christmas Story has to be my all time favorite because it’s a classic, but I do love Elf and the old How a Grinch Stole Christmas
Sarah @ Blonde Bostonian recently posted..‘Tis the Season
I love Elf! I DVRed it last week and have watched it 3 times since haha, it is just so funny and always puts me in the holiday mood! I’m glad your computer is working again, computer problems stress me out!
I enjoy watching Elf too, though my all time favorite has to be It’s A Wonderful Life. It makes me cry every single time I watch it.

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is definitely my all time favourite! My family watches it together every year, and then we spend the rest of the year reciting the lines until it’s Christmas again!
Such a classic!
Fizz@fizzsbizz.com recently posted..Half Moon Bay, Adventure Day!
I love watching the old How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and Frosty the Snowman when they’re on TV! I remember watching them every year with my sisters when we were younger.

Elf definitely takes the cake!! I’m Jewish and celebrate Chanukah but I still love Elf!!
Linz @ Itz Linz recently posted..PRO Compression Giveaway
Haha I know exactly which scene you are talking about. Elf is probably my favorite Christmas movie! I watch it every year, at least 5 times.

I like the Grinch but I find it hard to sit down through a full movie these days!
Stefanie @ Thin Vegetarian recently posted..Killer Legs Workout

Nicole@ livingthesweetlifestl.wordpress.com recently posted..Plan for the week and crafting fail

I looove The Grinch!
Rachel recently posted..MIMM #18 Deck the Halls
I had never seen all of Elf until a few days ago. It was fun (though that part in the middle where he has to dress like his father dragged a bit).
We watched my favorite “Holiday” movie last night, “Meet Me in St. Louis.” I say “Holiday” instead of Christmas because there are about three holidays in it: Halloween, Christmas, and what appears to be Easter (Or just Springtime, but we’ll go with it).
“Santa Claus: The Movie” from 1985 is also a favorite. It’s like two movies in one! Available on Netflix Instant View!

My favorite is ELF too!! I could never ever ever get tired of watching it!
alyssa – life a la wife recently posted..Gift Guide – The Hostess
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation without a doubt! I laugh every time I watch it!
Kerry @ Totes My Oats recently posted..Dinners of Dreams
Me too!!! It never gets old
I love the Grinch and Love Actually, but my favorite has to be Christmas Vacation. It’s a family tradition!
Natalie @ Free Range Human recently posted..Family Gives The Best Presents
My favorite holiday story is the classic “The Christmas Story”! When TBS has it on for 24 hours, we keep it on all day! It’s such a silly movie, but the whole family loves it!!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers recently posted..Almost Sugarless Sugar Cookies / Giveaway
Haha, we do too!!
We are Christmas movie twins. I love all the ones you just named, they’re at the top of my list. Only one I’d add is Home Alone
Meghan @ After the Ivy League recently posted..The Happiness Project Book Review
My all-time favorite would have to be A Christmas Story because there are great family memories attached to it. For years, my parents, brother and I would watch A Christmas Story on Christmas Eve in our pajamas. I’m on quite the Elf kick right now though and NEED to watch it a few times before Christmas.

I totally know the part of Elf you’re talking about…I watched the movie last night.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More recently posted..Music Monday // Alabama Shakes!
I sincerely love all of the old school Christmas movies — I try to catch them whenever I can! I actually watched The Grinch with Jim Carey last night and saw The Nutcracker Ballet with a friend right before that. Definitely had a very festive evening!
Steph @ StephSnacks recently posted..A FRIENDly Weekend
I LOVE Elf! I can’t watch that movie enough. The Grinch (the human version) is a close second. I kinda love the 25 Days of Christmas on ABC Family!
Ummm, ME TOO
Eep! There’s almost nothing I hate more than having trouble with technology. Having my computer or phone are acting up can seriously put me in the most foul mood. Buuuuuut good thing it’s Christmas time and there’s tonnes of things to be happy about!
I think I’ve watched Elf twice in the past week, and I’ll probably end up watching it a few more times before Christmas hits. That part where he’s trying to put the topper on the tree and ends up jumping right into it? 
Kills me every.single.time.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted... it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas .
Definitely Home Alone and A Christmas Story! So tacky, but it just isn’t Christmas without those two movies!
Laura @ LauraLikesDesign recently posted..2012 Gift Guide: The Boss
I love the Eggo Nutrigrain waffles. I am also a big fan of Kashi’s whole grain waffles. Both are delicious!
My favorite Christmas movies are probably Home Alone and A Christmas Story

Elf is probably my favorite Christmas movie of all time and I watched this weekend! I also have a special place in my heart for the original Rudolph and Frosy movies….makes me think of being a kid.
kim@hungryhealthygirl recently posted..Santa’s Favorite Cookies
The Grinch and One Magic Christmas. Love them!
My favorites are Love Actually and The Santa Clause (part one)! Live love love those two!
I can’t wait to try your holiday recipes!! I don’t have just one either, but in addition to those, I love the original Miracle on 34th Street!
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie recently posted..Weekend with my Parents
My favorite Christmas movie is A Christmas Carol. The old black & white one!
Cait @ Chicago Girl Fitness recently posted..Fitness Gift Guide 2012
I have never seen Elf. Should I be ashamed?
Haha, welllll, not ashamed…but promise me you’ll watch it before Christmas this year!!!
I promise!! I actually errr “got” it a while ago and it’s on my christmas movie list!
haha my cat is like that like, every night! And the funny thing is he’s so so big…and heavy…so the whole house sounds like it’s having a stampede, lol
And I’m not sure if I can decide on a fave Christmas movie! But I def. have always enjoyed Home Alone and some good ones on Fox Family a loooong time ago (I think they were old movies, and I can’t remember the names!). Now I really wanna watch something because everyone’s talking about Elf
Ellie@Fit for the Soul recently posted..A Traditional Kid-Friendly Dish
Love Actually is one of my favorite movies of all time, but for Christmas I also love The Santa Claus with Tim Allen! I watched it every year growing up.
I love Elf! & I actually just saw A Christmas Story on broadway! It was really cute! Also, another one of my favs is Love Actually – I could watch that movie over and over again!
Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife recently posted..A New Haircut & Healthy Living on the Cheap
Home Alone 1 and 2 – I couldn’t possibly choose between the two! NEVER gets old!
Michelle@Peachy Palate recently posted..Tastes better after a break
I’d say National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, The Polar Express, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (I just answered this on my blog a few days ago, so I had my answer ready!)
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles recently posted..Goal Talk–December.
My favorite is definitely White Christmas. Classic lines and wonderful music.
I also love Muppet Christmas Carol and Year Without a Santa Claus.
Alaina recently posted..Holiday Weekend
My favorite’s The Santa Clause (with Tim Allen)…such a classic!
Megan@funsizedfitness recently posted..Holiday Survey!
I know the exact scene you’re talking about…just watched that movie a few nights ago.
My favorite Christmas movies would probably be Elf, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and It’s a Wonderful Life. Too many good movies to choose one!
Katie recently posted..Gel Clings, Lean Legs, & a Free Box
I’ve been watching Elf and How the Grinch Stole Christmas nonstop. Hey, if ABC Family keeps airing them, then I’m going to keep watching.
I also really like the classic claymation films.
Carrie @ Fitness and Frozen Grapes recently posted..Hello, Chelsea Piers!
It’s a Wonderful Life and the older Miracle on 34th Street are two of my favorite Christmas movies of all time.
I just LOVE The Polar Express!

Elf is my favorite Christmas movie! I was so excited to see it on Tv last night. I really have to break down and buy the Dvd!
Elf is by far my favorite; it never gets old!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake recently posted..How Much is Enough?
Toss up between Home Alone and the cartoon Grinch.
Katy recently posted..Listen to Your Body
