Alright folks, it’s the most wonderful time of the year- and that includes Pop Culture! Instead of my monthly favorites, I figured let’s go with a fun theme, so here they are, some of my favorite Holiday Pop Culture things, please share yours in the comments!
Reading
There’s too many options here- but a couple of my all time favorites include:
The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore. He’s one of my favorite authors, and his Christmas story is pretty great. If you like it, make sure to check out my favorite book, Lamb.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. You may not have read this book since you were 12, but it holds up. Still hysterical and fantastic. Pick it up for the 10 year old in your life!
Red Ranger Came Calling. This is a family favorite book, such a fun story AND it takes place on Vashon Island. I finally went to the tree a year and a half ago, it was awesome.
Watching
A Muppet Christmas Carol. Yup, this is my favorite Christmas movie. I watch it every year!
White Christmas. I have a musical watching family, and every year I have to watch this movie!
Elf. Yeah, this is the new favorite of course, SANTA! I KNOW HIM!!!
Christmas Vacation. No Thanksgiving is complete at the Case household without watching this movie. I didn’t grow up with it, I married into this movie, but I love it as if it’s my own.
Simon Birch. Not a Christmas movie per-se but easily the best Christmas pageant scene EVER.
Listening
I tend to his shuffle on my iTunes playlist for the holidays. My go to work music is A Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s the perfect holiday work music. Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr., Jackson 5, and Stevie Wonder round out my favorite Christmas albums.
And no Christmas is complete with out Bob & Doug MacKenzie’s 12 Days of Christmas or David Sedaris’ Santaland Diaries (I prefer the audio to the book because he’s so perfectly snarky!)
However you survive or celebrate the holiday’s pop culture is an obvious necessity to make it through! What’s your favorite pop culture at the holiday’s?
