For many, Christmas, is one of the busiest times of year. I on the other hand, have always enjoyed a laid back Christmas, consisting mostly of lazing on the couch: I am not one, who wishes for chaos on Christmas, rather serenity and relaxation.

1. Wake up (usually between 8:00-10:00 - although, I usually wake up early, so feel free to adjust the timeframe)
2. Remain in bed for another half hour (I'll usually read something- usually LOTR related)
3. Finally get up, and trudge to the kitchen
4. Have a yummilicious breakfast (something along the lines of: pancakes, waffles, omelette, something a little special)
5. Walk over to the living room, and put something on the TV (try for something Christmasy) 
6. After watching for a while, begin opening presents :) 
7. If there's any present you can 'do' right now, do that.
8. Watch Deck the Halls
9. Eat snacky food throughout the day 
10. Watch LOTR
11. Eat a scrumptious dinner 
12. Fall to sleep in glee 

Deck the halls with boughs of holly 

Enough of that. I assume you're all familiar with the tune: which gets quite irritating after a few run-throughs. Anywho, I've been watching the movie Deck the Halls for at least three, probably four years. Obviously, at Christmas time.

Now, I feel that Christmas movies deserve a whole other genre. It isn't really possible to compare it to a fantasy epic, or a thriller, or a horror film (incidentally, I detest this genre). Thus, I won't do so. This is bound to be one of my favourite Christmas movies, as there's nothing else quite like it, Buddy Hall's interactions with his neighbour have you laughing and fuming at the same time. Whilst you watch, you can't help being in a Christmasy mood.

If you're looking for a good Christmas movie, may I suggest Deck the Halls.

Welcome, once more, to Serenity in a Tea Cup. As today is Christmas day, I though nothing more fitting, than a post wishing you a magical one.
Something about Christmas brings the kid out in all the joyous folk- something it shares in common with Disney.
Christmas is a time for cozy reads by a fire, relaxing with a good movie, and most of all spending time with family (although, some would argue it's the food).
As it is, after all, Christmas, I will leave thee to your merrymaking.

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!
