This week is always confusing to me… I still feel festive, but Christmas is over and I don’t know if holiday music is still appropriate… Also, the Type-A planner in my brain wants me to take down the tree & decorations, but New Years still feels Christmas-y and festive so I’d actually like to leave it up. I don’t know- it’s just a really confusing week for me each year…
Additionally, I am at work this week but K gave his boys the week off… which I know is the norm for some businesses. Our house is a mixture of vacation and normalcy (and I’m stuck on the wrong side, ha).
Maybe you have some downtime this week? If so, here are some winter movies that aren’t actually Christmas movies to keep you entertained!
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
Trading Places (1983)
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
The Mighty Ducks (1992)
Balto (1995)
I came up with this topic a few days ago but didn’t jot down the movies I was thinking of at that moment. Oops. I’m sure there are a million more I’m missing… What are some winter non-Christmas movies that you enjoy watching?
On Friday I’m announcing some 2017 resolutions and goals, plus a pretty big life change for us next year (nope, not pregnant ). So come back on Friday!

Ahhhhh The Mighty Ducks!!! Love that one! I also really like Jack Frost.

I totally forgot how foul-mouth The Mighty Ducks is… haha! My cousins spent the night a few months ago and I put it on for the 8th grader and I was like, “Ooooooh crap! Hahaha!”

I love Edward Scissorhands! I got The Holiday for Christmas, and it’s kind of a Christmas movie but also works as a New Years movie so we’re going to watch it tomorrow! 🙂

I haven’t seen The Holiday but it seems like so many people love it! I don’t think it’s on Netflix b/c I went to watch it one night and ended up watching Under the Tuscan Sun. Hahahaha. Far cry…

Mighty Ducks is a classic! I always feel weird this time of year too, I’m still listening to Christmas music but the tree is down and I’m planning Andrew’s birthday which is in a few days, so I’m feeling SO weird right now.

The first time I watched it was on an airplane, hahaha. I’m pretty sure I cried, too, so I looked like a total loon.

Great choices! One of my favorite NYE movies is When Harry Met Sally (it also doubles for Fall feelings and Christmas). I’ve already watched it once this season, but now it’ll be a bittersweet viewing since Carrie Fisher’s passing. I might cry… more than I normally do!

Thanks! I’ve never seen that movie. (or Sleepless in Seattle or You’ve Got Mail…. I just loop those three together all the time. Ha.) But I will watch it someday!!
