If You Can't Beat Them...

If officially feels like the creep up of Christmas and with it brings the end of 2011.


So to get us in the festive spirit I thought I would give you my top 5 Christmas lists:


Movies

1. The Holiday - A fantastic cast and a character I can relate to in Iris
2. Elf - It doesn't matter how many times I see this, it still makes me giggle
3. Miracle on 34th Street - A heart warming feel-good Christmas movie
4. Home Alone 2 - My favourite of the franchise purely because of the bird lady
5. The Muppet Christmas Carol - Who doesn't love the muppets

Songs

1. Do They know Its Christmas - Band Aid/Band Aid 20
2. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues
3. All I want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey
4. In the bleak midwinter - Unknown
5. Sleigh Ride - Unknown

Things to see/do

1. Play old school boardgames with friends/family
2. Wrap presents
3. Build a snowman / have a snowball fight
4. Watch the city as it becomes adorned in fairy lights
5. Soak up the Christmas spirit when everyone becomes that little bit nicer
