Holidays have started & etc....

Our decorations looking pretty nice between Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year's Day.  I have being putting stuff on my hands to keep soft since I wash my hands too much during this terrible time to protect from getting sick.

During the holidays I try no to eat so much food but I love food to eat.    A good holiday drink for soda is Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale by Canada Dry - get the drink at your grocery store.  I love a nice hot cocoa drink (dark chocolate or white chocolate or milk chocolate with or without big/small marshmallows).  I think tea is ok when I am sick with some honey in it.  S'mores are still a option - recipe for a outside dessert for me.

Two of my favorite Christmas movies called "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" & "ELF" are on for the holidays.   What are your favorite holiday movies?  List of some favs. 

Five Big college football match ups this coming Saturday.  NOTRE DAME play's versus Clemson for the A.C.C. title  (ND first time in a conf. for college football) ,  Northwestern versus Ohio State for the B1G title,  Fla. versus Alabama for the S.E.C. title,   Iowa State play's versus Oklahoma for the Big-12 title,  USC (this usc info) versus Washington - (now it's Oregon) for the PAC-12 title & other title games.  Ranks late this week.  Projected Bowl list for this holiday season.
