A Holiday Tradition + A Giveaway {CLOSED}

January 6, 2015
Two years ago when Johnny and I first started dating, he introduced me to Love, Actually (both the movie and the real thing…Too cheesy?). Yes, I had never seen the movie until a couple years ago. Johnny couldn’t believe it, so for our third date, Johnny came over for dinner and a movie. He cooked me some tasty tomato soup and grilled cheese and we watched the movie. We had an incredible time and now it has become a tradition for us to watch Love, Actually every year during the holidays.
In the digital age, DVDs and Blurays are basically useless. My mom visited for Thanksgiving and brought a DVD, but we had no way to watch it because I mean, who has a DVD player? That’s why I am so glad I have Xfinity On Demand. Not only can you watch almost any show you want, but they have tons of holiday movies, including Love, Actually. Classic holiday movies like A Christmas Story, Home Alone and more can be found OnDemand at the touch of a button – super convenient!
And I’ve teamed up with Xfinity to bring you a great giveaway. Use the $100 card for holiday gifts or to treat yourself. Good luck!
What is your favorite holiday movie?
