Nothing gets me more in the mood for Christmas like a great Christmas movie! This year we added a few more classics to the collection. Let me tell you about 3 of my favorites this year. They are kind of non-traditional, so maybe that’s why they seem so exciting.
First is “Chilly Christmas“
Super cute movie about a boy and his best friend, his dog Chilly Christmas. He received him as a gift from his dad, but little did they know they were up for some major challenges to stay together. Apartment training, mischievous puppy, and dognapping just to name a couple. A great movie that shows you with a little bit of team work, and a lot of love in your heart you can accomplish anything! Much different from the usual snowy Christmas, as this movie takes place on the beach in sunny California.
Next on my list of favorites is “The Dog Who Saved The Holidays“
Perfect family movie and all animal lovers! Super cute movie about family, Christmas and THIEVES… Nothing like talking dogs to warm your heart and save the day! This movie is jammed packed full of action and surprise to keep you on your toes, while wondering what is going to happen next. In the end; a family that works together always comes out on top. “The Dog That Saved The Holidays” has all of my favorite things. Family, traditions, and holiday spirit.
And last on my list is “Elf Man“
This movie is all about a new kind of hero, and just like the title says it’s Elf Man! With a kidnapped dad, 2 kids are left to figure out how to save him from trouble. With a little help from Santa and one elf who never really knew his full potential they work out a plan to save the day. This is a super cute, never a dull moment kind of movie. Full of twist and turns you really never know what could happen. This is why it is now a must watch on my Christmas movie list.

I am so excited to announce that 1 month from today I will be joining 24 other awesome bloggers for an exciting Disney adventure in Los Angeles! I can’t even begin to tell you how blessed and honored I am to have been selected to be a part of exciting trip. I have only been to LA one other time and that was when I was filming an episode of Judge Judy.

Yes, I was on Judge Judy suing an ex-boyfriend who owed me money. She was actually pretty nice to me but she did shush me once. I won my case and that was a fun adventure but that is NOTHING compared to my adventure next month! We will be seeing several advance screenings of some upcoming movies, meeting with some of the stars and animators of the movies, and even attending an actual red carpet premiere. Here’s a little bit more on what my trip will entail:
Sunday, September 23rd: Arrive into Los Angeles and have a Welcome Dinner so everyone can get to know each other.
Monday, September 24th: Travel to the Walt Disney Animation Studios for a press day where we will speak with filmmakers and animators about WRECK-IT RALPH (in theaters November 2, 2012)
Plus the animated short PAPERMAN (in theaters November 2, 2012):
Following the press day we will see a sneak peak of Disney/Pixar’s MONSTERS, INC. 3D (in theaters December 19, 2012) on the Walt Disney Studios lot.
Tuesday, September 25th: Interview TBD cast members from FRANKENWEENIE (in theaters Oct. 5, 2012) followed by attending the Red Carpet Premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood!
Wednesday, September 26th: TBD screening before you depart for home!
I can hardly contain my excitement! Be sure to keep an eye out for my posts and follow along on my adventures from 9/23-9/26 with Twitter hashtag #DisneyMoviesEvent.
Now I just have to be on the look out for stowaways in my suitcase because my daughters both really want to see these movies and go with my on my trip!
*NOTE* Disney is sending me on this all expense paid trip to report on all the events but I will not be receiving any other compensation. My posts will all be my own personal experiences and opinions.
