December Madness: What Is The Best Christmas Movie?
Enduring All Things

Not only is the joy of binge-watching Christmas movies back, but I, too, am determined to see which holiday classic is the best of the best. After picking from an assortment of the most popular movies, the final line up came down to 14 holiday films. Throughout the week, I will be running Twitter polls to let my followers vote and decide which movies will come out on top. Be sure to follow me at @mar_ryz to tune in and vote for all of your favorites! Check out the first round of the tournament!

1. The Polar Express v. Disney's A Christmas Carol

Who will win the battle of holiday classics later brought to the big screen: the boy who needed a little push to believe, or the man who spent the night with ghosts while watching his Christmas' past, present, and future?

2. Christmas Vacation v. A Christmas Story

Whose crazy family Christmas goes down as the best: Clark Griswold or Ralphie?

3. Home Alone v. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

We all loved Kevin being stuck at home, but what about when he takes on the big city?

4. The Ultimate Christmas Present v. Jack Frost

Who had more power with the weather in these two Disney classics: when Allie stole Santa's weather machine or when Jack Frost came back to life as a snowman?

5. The Santa Claus v. The Santa Claus 2

We all love Tim Allen as Santa, but was he better when he first put on the coat or when he searched for a Mrs. Claus?

6. Elf v. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

The battle of everyone's favorite comedians as some of their best characters: Will Ferrell as "Buddy the Elf" or Jim Carrey as "the Grinch?"

7. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer v. Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas

These two cartoon classics always have a special place in everyone's heart, but who ended up saving Christmas more: Rudolph or the Grinch?

8. White Christmas v. It's A Wonderful Life!

Finally, the old time classics and probably the hardest decision: Bing Crosby retiring from the army and going into show business, or James Stewart receiving a life changing reality check from his guardian angel?

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
