Christmas

It's a major award! Looks like the Library of Congress is in a very Christmas-y mood, as Bob Clark's classic 'A Christmas Story' is one of 25 new films selected for preservation into the National Film Registry. Oh fudge, indeed! Jump after the break to find out the other 24 titles!

This time of year, you get to watch a bunch of movies you don’t really see the rest of the year.  There are a few on the “don’t miss” list and a mix of older classics and new.  What are your favorite holiday movies that you look forward to year after year?

Grandma has been having a great time sharing her recipes. Today, we find one of her own original takes on a comfort food that tastes great on a cold winter day.

Just in case you haven't figured it out yet I love Christmas! When I was little my parents pulled out all the stops so my brothers, sisters and I would have great memories. So now that I have a daughter of my own I try to do the same. Something we do every Christmas Eve while baking cookies is Track Santa thanks to NORAD.

Ever wonder what your kids "Elf on the Shelf" is up to? Thanks to this interview from "Saturday Night Live: Weekend Update" we can finally see what that sneaky little guy is up to.

Some people treat themselves to a big present at Christmas, and a lot of times it is in the form of a new car. Safety first, I always say.

On Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012 Michael's Banquet House in Latham will host a festive country dance party with the 'Patch It Up' Band and a Christmas Show with Elvis!

So with Christmas coming, I'm sure your house may get a new board game or two. I just saw an interesting study that showed that Moms are far more likely to let their kids beat them at games than Dads. I guess it goes with the whole boosting self esteem, nobody's a loser , everyone gets a trophy thing.

Kenny Rogers will come to the rescue of kids affected by Hurricane Sandy next week at his concert date in Englewood, NJ. Along with toymakers Fisher-Price and Mattel, the big-hearted singer has teamed with the Bergen Performing Arts Center and the Englewood Fire Department for a toy drive to collect Christmas toys for children in Bergen County, which was hit hard by the storm.

We love playing Christmas music mixed in with your favorite Country hits on GNA. Although many versions of these songs have been re-recorded through the years, there is just something special about the 'original' recordings.

Christmas is all about the kids. I so love kids when they are at the age write letters to Santa and ask for what they want this year. A Lot of them are the standard fare, a quick greeting, a declaration of "goodness",  an itemized list and "Love" or "Yours Truly" and they are done. But some, just make you laugh out loud and you just cant help but feel good about Chris
