5 Top Christmas Movies

I love Christmas movies. Probably more than the normal amount. Every year there a few that i can't wait to watch. Here's a list of my top five favorites. 5.) Home Alone Gotta love a kid that thinks he made his family disappear, then realizes that's all he wants for Christmas. And Buzz... 4.) A Christmas Story Set in the good ole 1940's, this movie brings you back to a time when you got soap in your mouth for swearing and all a kid wanted was an official Red Ryder BB rifle. It's also hilariously ironic without trying. Who can't remember when dear mom would dress you like this for your own good? 3.) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation You gotta admire Clark Griswold's tenacity of trying to give his family the best for the holiday season. It's not his fault that every time he tries, some hilarious disaster ensues. Plus, you know this is how you feel when you get your Christmas bonus. 2.) Elf Made in 2003, at

8 Most Annoying Christmas Songs

True, all christmas songs can be annoying, especially when overplayed or played too early. But here are the ones that really take the cake when it comes to sickeningly annoying. 8) Mary, Did You Know? by Clay Aiken Um, hello ? I think she knew something was up due to the whole virgin thing . 7) Suzy Snowflake by Rosemary Clooney Everyone wants Suzy Snowflake until they have to drive in it. Go away. 6) All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth by Spike Jones That's not how you talk! You're faking it! 5) Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by NSync Maybe I just listened to it too much in my pre-teen years. 4) I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas by Gayla Peevey Hippoptamuseseses? That's not a word ! My ears are bleeding. 3) Christmas Shoes by Newsong.   Cue the tears. Christmas is not sad. 2) Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer by Dr. Elmo Good. 1) Dominic the Donkey by Lou Monte. Hee haw hee haw. Why?! Get out of my head!!!

Robots take over the world.

Amazon's founder/CEO Jeff Bezos was on 60 minutes Sunday night and revealed what could be his biggest brainchild; a product delivery service by robot. It's a flying drone that can carry up to 5 lbs and depending on where you are, can get there in 30 minutes. Bezos said that approximately 85% of products ordered on amazon.com would be eligible for that weight. A lot seems up in the air about it, and the earliest we would see it would be 2015, as they are waiting on FAA "rules." I love this and hate this at the same time. What do you think?

cyber monday folks

While I am a huge discount shopper, I am not a fan of black friday; probably due to the mob-like zombie horde of people that go to stores at midnight.  However, today is the start of a glorious thing called cyber monday . Where I can sit on my butt and order hugely discounted items online. Best of all, most sites have FREE shipping . Hallelujah! Here are a few of my favorite membership sites. ideeli New sales everyday at 12 Noon for women, home, kids, even a mens shop. rue la la New boutiques open at 11am but only stay open for 48 hours. beyond the rack 80% off retail prices of designer fashion for men and women. hautelook I found this site has the most sales.
