Drop That Cupcake! (And Join Us At The Grownup Table)

I'm told by people who apparently keep track of such things that I'm ahead of the curve on the next big trend in sweet eats. Apparently the "Great Cupcake Frenzy" of the past few years is drawing to an end and people have rediscovered a "Great Universal Truth": Pie makes everything better.

About a month ago, I told Eric I was in the mood to bake a pie and asked him what kind he'd like. Without missing a beat, he answered, "Cherry-lime." Eric's standard answer when I ask him what he wants for any meal is "Food" - because for some reason he finds that hysterical. So I figured I'd take advantage of his sudden decisiveness and make him a Cherry-Lime Pie.

Welcome To My Brain

So I've been struggling to figure out just how to kick this thing off. And suddenly I found myself with a great post that started as a comment to a friend's FB question: What are your Top Five Christmas movies?

This is REALLY hard to narrow down so I did ten (and a bonus). My list includes some movies that people will NOT consider Christmas movies, but I think they are. (I provided some insight into my choices too.)
