    You’re making me blush again Vinnie!😊 I wish I was. I’ve always felt a kind of kinship with Phoebe!

    I’d love to be related to the sisters. Phoebe is so likeable and full of wit, I’ve always liked her. Though I do like Paige’s independent spirit.

    It took me awhile to warm up to Paige, but in the end I wound up appreciating her. And now that I think of it I can kind of relate to Piper too because she’s such a homebody.

    I find all of the sisters relatable in their own ways. I’d love to be like Leo and pose as a heavenly handyman to meet them. Though I’m not sure I have the good looks for it, but I have a peachy bum.

    If I remember correctly, you described it as a bodacious bum.

  Well, the movie is gorgeous, but the eyes of the characters are rather creepy. The book however is BRILLIANT! If you haven’t read it Mary I highly recommend it! 🙂

  You should check out the book Jeanne. We used to have a Holiday Open House at the library where I worked and I’d read that book every year.🎅🏻

Love this! We are huge fans of the book and the movie in our household! We even went on the Polar Express last year and the boys thought it was the most magical thing ever! 💜🎄💜

  Thanks Jen! Despite being an ardent fan of both book and movie, I’ve never been on the actual Polar Express. I’ve heard incredible things about it though.So glad your munchkins got to experience it!

    It’s a truly mesmerizing experience. If you ever have the chance in the future, I highly recommend it. You even get hot chocolate and cookies while they sing and dance, so cool! We read the book and watch the movie all throughout the year over here lol.
