Merry Christmas to you all! I hope everyone out in the blogging world had a blessed Christmas and that you all had a wonderful weekend. I’m back to work, though its not all that bad. I’m actually tired of four-days of snacking and laying around the house. Odd to think that I headed to work [...]

Holiday Traditions – December 15, 2007
Posted in Christmas on December 17, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Now before you all get excited about me saying “Holiday” rather than “Christmas” let me explain to you that I’m going to be talking about New Years, thus lumping my Christmas and New Years traditions into Holiday traditions. Now that that is out of the way allow me to explain to you about how I [...]

I’ve decided to be generous and give you all an early Christmas present. That’s right, I’m going to release the top two Christmas movies of all time today! Whoohoo! I figure most of you that remember what movies were on the list and what you voted for can kind of guess which two movies are [...]

Posted in A Kevy Favorite, Christmas, Lists on December 21, 2006 | 5 Comments »
It’s not Christmas if it’s not spent with the Griswolds. At least for the Johnson’s its not. Oops, did I ruin it already? Our No. 3 film was the highest ranked movie on the list. It averaged an 8.0 ranking and was named No. 1 on eight ballots, also the most. Every year, either on [...]

Our fourth movie is just three years young. A story about a elf who doesn’t quite fit in with the other elves and decides to hike to New York to try and find his real dad, and in doing so helps the people around him get into the Christmas spirit. It was named on 62-percent [...]

We’ve reached the top five Christmas movies of all time. I bet you’ve all been anxiously awaiting for this since the moment we started the countdown. Um sure…actually its been nice to hear the feedback (positive) about the countdown. I should’ve sold the publishing rights to some rich newspaper inEverett, is it too late? Anyway, [...]

Our No. 6 film beat out Charlie Brown by one vote. Poor Chuck! We’re nearly six more days until this list is over and I can relax and wrap my Christmas gifts. Okay, it doesn’t take up that much of my time, plus I enjoy doing it. Anyway, here’s No. 6… No. 6 – Rudolph [...]
No. 7 – A Blockhead and his Tree

This movie barely missed out on being No. 6 falling two points shy of overtaking its next competitor, which you all know I can’t reveal. And now I feel sad because, after recently watching this one I would’ve voted for it in my top 10. Okay, so maybe I’m not sad, but still, this film [...]

No. 9 – That Green Grumpy Grinch

We’re moving right along in our countdown to the No. 1 Christmas movie of all time. I know you’re all antsy and want me to just skip to the beginning but I can’t. It’s just too fun (and much easier) writing one little summary a day. Our next film is both a TV special and [...]
