December officially begins today, but the holiday spirit has been going strong in the Amaro house for a few weeks. Our tree has been up since Veteran's Day, we have burned through more than one of those glass-jar-holiday-scented candles, and the (extensive) Christmas movie library has been moved from it's dormant place on the bedroom bookshelf to a messy pile next to the TV.
Violet took no time at all developing a favorite movie: White Christmas. This makes me a very proud mama, too. It's my #2 favorite of all time (right behind Hello Dolly!). We have watched it at least a dozen times this season already, mostly at the request of Violet. She finds the case and brings it over to us, bats those big brown eyes and says, "May we watch White Christmas AGAIN?!!"
The rest of us can play/work/cook/clean while the movie is on (we do know it by heart, after all) but Violet still sits stock still in front of the couch and just watches in awe. The dancing scenes are her favorite (specifically "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing", and she often wants to dance with one of us after the movie is over (ballroom/broadway style).
I just know it's gonna be a great Christmas when December starts out this amazingly. Great minds think alike, my girl!
