I just purchased a soon to be holiday classic yesterday. Now some of you out there will disagree (JasonT) but I firmly believe that “Elf” will some day reach the status some of the other Holiday comedies have achieved.

Let’s not beat around the bush, I love this movie. I saw it, I think, three times in the theater. It is funny, touching, and gets me totally in the mood for Christmas. It is weird, but I am like a little old lady when it comes to Christmas. I love everything about it. I love the music, the shopping, the family…I just get an overwhelming sense of love out of the holiday. It doesn’t matter how down I am, this season really seems to perk me up.

I hope to go down and see the Holidazzle parade followed by the Dayton’s eighth floor. I refuse to call it by it’s new name because it doesn’t sound well followed by “eighth floor”. This year it is Snow White and has been put together by a bunch of local artists. I am proud to say I know one of them. Her name is Kelly…something. Ok, so I am not her best friend, but I met her through a great friend of mine and she IS really cool. For those of you that don’t know, the eighth floor is a cool place to bring your kids of all ages. It tells a famous story every year by building small rooms that have moving puppets and scenery. Sometimes it is pretty corny and bad, but many years they get it right. So, go support local art by seeing a holiday tradition. I’m sure I will go more than once. It happens that way every year. See ya downtown…
