Advent Calendar Blog Hop - December 3rd

Can you believe it's December already? Just three weeks to go until Christmas! Are you ready? I sure am not - I still need to buy and make almost all of my gifts, not to mention the packing and baking and getting in some kind of Christmas mood!

I'm taking part in our dearly beloved Jo's Advent Calendar again this year, and I got this fine day close to the start of the month. This kind of got me on the wrong foot since I haven't finished my Christmas stitching, but will have to go digging for pretty pictures from the last years. Just means there'll be more Christmas posts yet to come, though! For now we'll go with this cute guy that I stitched for my very first Christmas ornament exchange some years ago:



Now the topic to talk about this year is Christmas movies. Again, I don't have a lot to say, since in my family, we didn't watch a lot of movies around Christmas (we used to watch The Peter Alexander Show, which was mostly music, but has been canceled twenty or so years ago). One movie I always enjoyed watching around Christmas, though not on Christmas itself, was the Disney version of A Christmas Carol. I generally enjoy Christmas movies, there's just not one I've watched every year or something like that :)

Don't forget to stop by Jo's Blog and check out what everyone else had to show and tell!

I love that little Polar Bear, he's so cute! I know I have the pattern, but have yet to stitch it.
We have seen the Disney version of A Christmas Carol, but since our youngest is getting older, it's been a while since we've watched it. Looks like a family movie night is called for!

Such a cute ornament! I have most everything done for Christmas but I'm still stressing myself out about the things that aren't done - I don't like "stress" being a holiday tradition!!

Thanks for taking part in the Advent Calendar Blog Hop this year, sorry for the early date!
Peter Polar Bear is adorable though and well worth sharing again.

Leonore: I love Christmas movies, so many of them have things that are just not to my liking.
I like the ones on Hallmark channel.
Very sweet design you did for the exchange.

Have a sweet day
