And a special giveaway provided by CBS Films!
One of my favorite pastimes is going to movies and I get a little giddy when holiday season begins and the holiday movies start. This weekend is one movie that I have on my must-see list – Love the Coopers. We all have that person in our family (and maybe it’s you!) who wants everyone in the family to be together for the holidays at all costs and everyone must be happy. Idealistic, right? Well, that’s what Charlotte Cooper, played by Diane Keaton, wants for her family – a time that they’re all together having the perfect Christmas. Love The Coopers follows The Cooper clan as four generations of extended family come together for their annual Christmas Eve celebration. As the evening unfolds, a series of unexpected visitors and unlikely events turn the night upside down, leading them all toward a surprising rediscovery of family bonds and the spirit of the holiday.
Do you have a great family holiday story? I’d love to hear it! I’ll never forget the time when there was a snowstorm and most of my siblings and I were stuck in town but my dad insisted that we all get out to the farm for Christmas to be together, no ifs ands or buts about it! Well, he had the brilliant idea of bringing his tractor with a snowplow attached 6 miles into town to get us all home for Christmas! Honestly, we had a great time that Christmas and 20+ years later we still laugh about it.

Love Diane Keaton!
Thank you so much for the chance!
Our funny Christmas story from many years ago, was when we went outside to put the carrots out for Rudolph as always, and while nobody was looking, he threw them up on the snow and ice covered roof so Rudolph would not have to come down to get them! UGH. Thankful to say…..Rudolph did eat his carrots that night…and no ambulances were needed 🙂
We still laugh about it today!
Amy Orvin (wants to win)

Happy Sunday!

I will watch this movie when it comes to Netflix. Not sure of how good it is according to reviews I have read.
When I was a kid my sister brought her new boyfriend home for Christmas and I gave him a snowmobile ride. He was scared silly, it was so fun!
Merry Christmas!
