Christmas is in just two weeks and my family will be watching a whole bunch of our favorite Christmas movies in the days ahead. We own a lot of these on DVD, but we plan to stream those we don't own. Sometimes, we give 100% focused attention to just relaxing and enjoying. Other times, and especially for those movies we've seen many times over, it's easy to watch and do something productive. Here are some holiday tasks I'll be doing while watching Christmas movies this season:

1. Baking Christmas cookies

2. Planning our family's Christmas Eve menu

3. Planning our family's Christmas Day menu

4. Online ordering groceries/household essentials for Christmas

5. Buying some last-minute gifts/stocking stuffers online

6. Making/creating homemade/handmade gifts for family and friends

7. Getting my 2021 calendar prepped, jotting in dates/appointments

8. Writing thank you notes for gifts I've already received

9. Wrapping gifts

10. Writing up some goals for 2021

Just for fun, here are my top 10 favorite Christmas movies, in no particular order, and my favorite line from each:

It's a Wonderful Life

Clarence (the angel): 'Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?'

A Christmas Story

Ralphie Parker: 'In the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obscenity that, as far as we know, is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.'

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Clark Griswold: 'Worse? How can things get any worse? Take a look around you, Ellen! We're at the threshold of hell!'

The Polar Express

Hero Boy Narrator: 'At one time most of my friends could hear the bell. But as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found, one Christmas, that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me...as it does for all who truly believe.'

Love Actually

Daniel: 'Tell her that you love her. You've got nothing to lose and you'll always regret it if you don't.'

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Linus: 'I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all really. Maybe it just needs a little love.'

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Bird Lady : 'I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken.'

Kevin McCallister : 'I understand. I had a nice pair of roller blades. I was afraid to wreck them, so I kept them in a box. Do you know what happened? I outgrew them. I never wore them outside. Only in my room a few times.'

Bird Lady : 'A person's heart and feelings are very different than skates.'

Kevin McCallister: 'They're kind of the same thing. If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose.'

Joyeux Noel

Palmer: 'Tonight, these men were drawn to that altar like it was a fire in the middle of winter. Even those who aren't devout came to warm themselves.'

Serendipity:

Dean: 'Life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences, but rather, it's a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan.'

While You Were Sleeping

Lucy: 'You give up your seat every day in the train.'

Peter: 'Well... But that's not heroic.'

Lucy: 'It is to the person who sits in it.'

To fast forward to making your dog's problem behaviors disappear, visit:

No matter what your dog's problem behavior is, be it jumping, peeing in the house, aggression, pulling on the leash...or whatever, there is ONE SOLUTION that can help STOP this problem now.

The sad fact is, most dog trainers miss this solution entirely. They give you cookie cutting training programs. They use outdated, mean, and unkind dominance techniques. Or worse yet, they have no qualifications to be offering advice. So what's the answer to stopping your dog's behavioral problems? In 5 simple words...

Discovering your dog's hidden intelligence.

Let me explain. More intelligent dogs are better behaved. A more intelligent dog takes commands easier and understands what you need. The good news is, no matter how clever you think your dog is, you can unlock your pet's hidden intelligence quickly and easily.

Don't waste a second longer coping with problem behaviors you don't need to be dealing with. Visit this link to learn more about Brain Training for Dogs:
