Before the turkey has even been removed from the oven, bells have been ringing those familiar tunes. Some retailers have been merry and bright since the Tuesday after Labor Day. However, for those of us who live outside of the retailer calendar, we typically keep our credit cards in check until weâve had our pumpkin pie. With stories like âdecapitation by way of *enter toy here* procurementâ, your spirit may be feeling a little Charlie Brown-like. Rest assured though, nothing tops off your chestnuts roasting on an open fire quite like a Christmas movie marathon.Â
Christmas in Connecticut
A yuletide rom-com that has stood the test of time. Barbara Stanwyck hosts a soldier for the holidays at her bucolic, Vermont home. Glistening snowscapes, horse-drawn carriages and a tinseled tree set the scene. However, this faux-homemaker has trouble keeping up appearancesâŚeven with a little help from her friends. The Colonial Woman Dress will help you re-enact the tree-trimming sing-song between the two would-be lovebirds. Nix the ringlet wig for something a little more pin-curled (the Burlesque Beauty Wig is perfect!) and bring this vintage vixen to life!

National Lampoonâs Christmas Vacation
Oh, Clark W. Griswold. He puts Ward Cleaver to shame. From the Griswold Family Christmas tree, moose mugs for eggnog, 25,000 imported Italian twinkle-lights and the most entertaining family in cinematic history, no movie has taken us on a more amusing holiday road. As a reward, I present it with a one year membership to the Jelly of the Month Club. Grab one of our great Santa Suits and make it the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby danced with Danny Kaye.
Elf
Get down off your throne of lies, spritz on a little fruit spray to cover your beef and cheese smell and dress for mail-room success! Even angry little elves would have to agree that this syrup-obsessed, North Pole native easily makes smiling your new favorite! Donât be a Cotton-Headed Ninnymuggins! The Buddy Elf costume will get to you in time to spread Christmas cheer (itâs up to you to sing loud enough for all to hear).
Donât get mauled at the mall â put your DVD player to work and give your jingle bells a rest for the evening. When you need to chuckle at the hustle and bustle of the season, sit down to watch one of these tried and true holiday gut-busters.
