On the first day of sock yarn, Simply Sock Yarn gave to me...
three skeins of Hedgehog DK in Teacup!
To have a chance at these three squishy skeins from our lovable Irish dyers, just answer the following question in the comments below:
What are you favorite three Christmas movies? And if you don't have any, just tell us something else that you like to watch each year.
Mine are currently White Christmas, Christmas Vacation and Elf. In that order. White Christmas is by far my fave, and I keep meaning to watch Holiday Inn because one of you told me that if I liked White Christmas then I would likely adore Holiday Inn as well. I just love the songs and the costumes and the dancing. I do like Love, Actually as well. But it's not an every-year type movie like the others.
Want to know more about the 12 Days of Sock Yarn tradition? See here.
My favorite Christmas movies. . . White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life and. . .hmm.... A Garfield's Christmas. Hard choice on the last one.

This is a great question. My three favorite Christmas Movies are: Holiday Inn (I really want that house), It's a Wonderful Life (in black and white, uncut) and The Santa Clause. There are so many others - I love this time of year!

I like horror movies so mine are a bit different: the first is more normal: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but then there are Rare Exports, a Finnish movie with an evil Santa Claus, and Jack Frost, featuring a mutant killer snowman.

Christmas Vacation, Miracle on 34th Street (the original), and The Bells of St. Mary's. Not sure the last one is actually a Christmas movie, but that's usually when you can see it.

I saw Christmas in Connecticut with Barbara Stanwyck for the first time last year, and that'a a new favorite. I also love Rick Steves' European Christmas (more of a travel special/documentary), and Miracle on 34th Street. It's hard to just pick three! :-)
Posted by: Amy Jo | December 13, 2016 at 10:22 AM
Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and Die Hard. Although Die Hard isn't technically a Christmas movie, it takes place during Christmas, and it's a Christmas Eve tradition for my husband and I to watch it each year after we've put all the presents under the tree.
Posted by: Diane Anderson | December 13, 2016 at 10:22 AM

Posted by: Laura Beutler | December 13, 2016 at 10:27 AM
