Quotable Holiday Films
So it’s nearly the end of November…which means it’s nearly the start of December…which means it’s NEARLY CHRISTMAS!! And totes OK to start watching back to back holiday movies and gorging on inappropriate quantities of small chocolates in shiny wrappers. To get in the mood for our winter season of rooftop holiday flicks, we’re gathering our eggnog, our blankets, and our favorite quotes from our favorite festive films. So grab a pumpkin pie and let the warm glow of Christmas nostalgia wash over you with this week’s blog.
