When I sent an email out to our staff requesting their favorite holiday movies, I thought I'd get lists of DVDs.  And I did.  But I also got all these little bundles of Christmas memories too.  I feel so honored that my coworkers were willing to share their family traditions with me.  Those stories are what made this blog post one of my very favorite ones to put together.  Whether you need warm fuzzies, holiday hijinks, or Bruce Willis this Christmas, you'll find what you're looking for here.
