Dear Someone,
It's the Christmas season and everyone is gearing up for the morning that you
finally get to rip open all those presents that have been sitting under the tree just taunting you all month.
However, I think the best part of Christmas are the days that are leading up to the big day to be quite honest. Get's you excited :D
Sitting around, drinking hot chocolate, making cookies, eating far too much and telling stories about past Christmas's. All very important. Yet... My favorite thing are the Christmas movies.
My favorite?
I have to say is Elf starring Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel.
I used to not like it (like most people) I can see why, it's just a little weird first time around.
But once you just embrace the Christmas loving man who grew up as a elf his whole life and just wants to find his real family, you love it :)
How could you
not eventually want to watch this movie on repeat????
It's cute, whimsical, and makes you just smile :) Also, there is love. Love is aways needed in a movie if you ask me.
But you know what my favorite part it?
When Buddy takes Jovie (Zooey Deschanel) out on a date and takes her to all the places he thought were cool when he first came to New York.
Yes, some of the places he took her were rather lame but, the fact that he wanted to share that with her is cute, and expresses his feelings for her in a way that most guys wouldn't really think to do.
But, it also takes a special kind of girl to go along with it and have fun out on the date like she did.
Yes, sit down dinners at a fancy place with a piano playing in the back ground with candles lit everywhere is exciting but... There is something that seems more appealing to me about having a little adventure.
One where it's just about going random places and pure fun. No plans, no reservations, just showing up somewhere and making a night of it, driving around and getting lost together and stumbling upon something new.
It's getting to know the other person, if you drive or just walk around. You end up feeling up the night with stories after stories. So really, adventures do two things for ya.
1. You get to know each other really well and also have fun on top of it with out it being supper awkward.
2. You now have a supper cool story to tell you're friends that just might make them jealous from the
seer cuteness of your evening with the fella ;)
I don't know, it seems like the best way to fall in love in stead of some right-off-the-bat incredibly intense romantic relationship. Fun seems more relaxing and easy to manage.
Anyway, back to the movie!
They had an adventure and fell in love. That's what I like about that movie... That and Buddy found his dad and saves Santa on Christmas Eve... That was also good :)
