School is out and Netflix is calling your name. Make a Christmas movie list and include every movie possible. Some must haves on my list this Christmas: Home Alone, Elf, and Christmas with the Kranks. Watching your favorite holiday movie with a cup of hot chocolate and some warm PJ’s will definitely get you in the Christmas spirit.
