Me, Myself, and I - link up party #1 (for me)

Holiday questions make me happy.

1. What are your top 5 favorite movies to watch during the Holidays?
I really only have two movies I watch almost every holiday season -- A Christmas Story. A classic. Thanks TBS! I watch this in bits and pieces, every Christmas Day when home with the family. "You'll shoot your eye out!" And Love Actually. For several years now, a friend and I usher in the holiday season by watching this movie "together". She lives in California, I live in Texas. We pop it into the DVD player at the same time, queue it up, and just enjoy the fluffy holiday good times. I usually add in hot chocolate to my viewing.

2. It’s the month of giving thanks, what are you most thankful for?
Family, family, family! I have the most amazing family. We're very close and get along. My sister is one of my best friends.
My parents. I know, yes they're part of my family, but they have their own spot. I owe so much to them, I really cannot express in words how much I am thankful for the parents I was blessed with. They raised me right. They offered me opportunities a lot of people aren't lucky enough to have... They put up with me when I was a bratty teenager. They've never let me give up on myself.

3. If there was a quote or verse to describe your life, what would it be?
"The best part of life is not just surviving, but thriving with passion and compassion and humor and style and generosity and kindness."
 -Maya Angelou

4. Who in your family are you most alike?
Probably my sister. 

5. What is your favorite drink order at Starbucks?
I honestly don't go to Starbucks much when whenever I do, if I have a gift card or whatever, there are really only two things I order, depending on the season:
Hot Vanilla (when it's cold) - think hot chocolate, but vanilla. Steamed milk and vanilla and sugar. And that's it. Yum.
Passion Fruit Lemonade Tea, sweetened (for the other 350 days in the year when it's not cold here in Houston, TX) - I discovered this drink when I worked at Target years ago, and we have a Starbucks in the store. The grocery ETL brought venti's of this for everyone. Yum!
