We love Santa. We really do! He's probably the coolest old guy we know, spending his life making presents, managing elves and eating cookies. Truth be told, we're sort of jealous. The jolly old guy usually looks bright and cheery and not all that scary, which is yet another reason we're fans.

What better way to spend your free time this holiday season than curling up with a cup of hot cocoa, a few fuzzy blankets, Christmas lights and a good holiday movie?

The Christmas season is the happiest time of year. We get to spend extra time with our family and friends, and there are endless supplies of cookies.

Chris had recently become engaged when he got a call from his mother who tells him she had made an interesting discovery while going through a batch of ol

Attention everyone: we now officially have T-minus eight days until Christmas, and preparation time is running out faster than we can shove holiday cookies in our mouths. We still have to buy last-minute presents, dig out those stockings from the back of our closets and make time for that awful office party.
