My kids and I have been watching ‘Christmas with the Kranks’ over and over again on Netflix this holiday season.
I’m binge watching Blacklist but I better sloe down before I end up in a show hole. :/
I love snuggling down to good movies when it is cold outside. Netflix always has some fun ones.
I have some Christmas movies taped for a night my Hubs and I aren’t busy. I loved the movie Grease! Maybe we should add that to our list.
I’ve never seen Election but the other two are classics for sure. I spy a movie in my future.
I wish Canadian netflix had Grease on. I’d love to watch it again, I haven’t seen it in years!
