Favorite Christmas Movie Poll Results! And the Winner Is...

By -

Holiday movies have become an integral part of celebrating the season. Nothing beats curling up at night with a cup of hot cocoa, and by the light of the tree, watching a movie that makes us smile. So, I took to Facebook and Twitter to see what movies people love. I asked, what are your top three favorite holiday movies.

 For some people, that is a claymation favorite enjoyed since childhood. Some enjoy heartwarming stories (but, make it the original, remakes do not score well, apparently). Ebenezer Scrooge, in any form, is loved. Two forms of a Christmas Carol, Scrooge, and the spin-off comedy Scrooged all the made the list. Most of all, people want a laugh. Elf scored well above the others and ran away with the number one vote. Christmas Vacation scored very high, and Christmas Story was the only other movie to receive double digits (though it did have one vote taken away due to the response of "Anything but Christmas Story"). A comedy can also be dark (Bad Santa). Marathons don't hurt, as Christmas Story, and the tongue in cheek Jaws both made the cut. So, you voted, you waited, and here it is, the complete list in order of votes. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Mental Realness Vol. 1: Who I Am is Who I Am

Welcome to my new column, Mental Realness. Here I will be sharing my experiences of living with mental illness. I do this in hoping to reach someone so they know they are not alone or might gain some insight. I also hope to help break the stigma among those who aren't personally suffering. Together we can all get through this! So who am I? Basically, I am a 30-something mother of 3, with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Masters in School Counseling. I love, hockey, baseball, nature, painting, writing, and most people agree that I straddle the hipster and basic life. I like to re-purpose objects for art or simply for use. Halloween is my happy place and I consider tacos a personality trait. I have a pet turtle and hope to adopt a cat very soon. Me! I also have schizophrenia.  After 18 years of not feeling "right" I finally was diagnosed. I will expand on this more along the way. I'm still coming to terms with grasping all this diagnosis entails and t
