INSIGHT Magazine December 2015 | Page 33

november Contest Results! Last month we wondered what kind of movies we should be watching to get amped up for Christmas this year, and we asked you, the readers, what your favorite holiday flicks were to use as a loose guide to our holiday entertainment. We were pretty surprised at some of your responses! Sure, there were plenty of classics on the list. “It’s a Wonderful Life” was a strong contender, “A Christmas Story” got some mentions, and “Christmas Vacation” received a little love, too. But a few readers had some less common mentions we had to share: Amy Steen-Hurst - “‘Scrooged’, the Bill Murray movie, is one of my faves!” Lori Brooks Lear - “Since Halloween weekend Hallmark has returned with their Christmas themed movies and I've enjoyed them all. Looking forward to the new ones added this INSIGHT year too!!” Caren Hayes - “My favorite Christmas movie is ELF. I love this movie because I enjoy seeing my children laugh as they watch it. I's a funny movie, but has a great lesson about family and believing in the magic of Christmas :)” Patricia Free - “Oddly enough one of my favorite Christmas movies is Friday after next, starring Ice Cube. The skinny Santa robbing every one, sometimes twice.” This month’s winning response, however, is a definite classic, with reader Karen Smith suggesting that her “favorite movie is ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’” Keep an eye on your inbox for instructions on claiming your prize, Karen! Thanks for your responses, everyone. We’ll see you next month! ✻ December 2015 33
