25 days of Christmasy movies FINAL update/Books in December

So this is the last time I will update about our Christmas movie marathon (since our vacation ends today, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa). As you can see, we didn't quite meet our goal but allow me to explain why. First, we started re-watching all the seasons of The Office (and have made it to number 7). Second, Jose has really been bugging me about going to see the second Hobbit movie. Since I had never even seen The Lord of the Rings trilogy, I decided to finally sit down and watch it. As you might know, those films last like an eternity. So in the end we have some Christmas films still on the list for next year.

 The list:
1. Love Actually 
2. Dr. Suess's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas 
3. A Christmas Story 
4. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 
5. Elf 
6. Miracle on 34th Street 
7. Bad Santa 
8. Nightmare Before Christmas
9. Charlie Brown Christmas 
10. It's a Wonderful Life 
11. Home Alone
12. The Muppet Christmas Carol 
13. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 
14. The Polar Express 
15. The Santa Clause 
16. Frosty the Snowman 
17. Frosty Returns 
18. Scrooged 
19. Jingle All the Way
20. The Family Stone 
21. How the Grinch Stole Christmas 
22. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
23. Jack Frost 
24.  White Christmas 
25. Christmas in Connecticut

 Books I read in December

 As you can imagine with so many movies and TV episodes I haven't gotten much reading done (sad I know). Here follows the books I have read in December.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

 This is one of my all time favorite books and I re-read it this month. If you have never read this book, please do yourself a favor and do it.

 We also watched the movie in December (which I had never seen). I would also recommend it (and yet another non-Christmas related film we saw this month)


The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

 In fact, I am also re-reading this book as well. I remember the first time I read it being actually freaked out (not that I thought it was real or had happened) but the suspense and intrigue is that good. This is a vampire novel but NOT a dumb one like the Twilight books. This one actually has good writing and a strong female character.

Simple Spanish recipe: Chipirones a la plancha

Image
Ok so I know this picture is a bit blurry and I apologize but it is the final result of my having cooked chipirones a la plancha for the first time. Let me explain, chipirones are small squid and a la plancha means grilled. They are served in an olive oil, parsley and garlic sauce. At first I wasn't sold on the idea of this recipe but believe me, it is pretty awesome and super healthy. It is a really typical tapa that you can order at almost any bar here in the south of Spain. Chipirones a la plancha is usually served on a bed of lettuce or with a small side salad. Yum! Here's the how: First you need the chipirones (small squid that come with the heads and tentacles attached). I can buy them at my local grocery store in the fresh seafood section. I bought a package of 400 grams though the good thing about this recipe is that you can make as much or as little as you like. Allow me to also explain that here in Spain people tend to eat a lot more fish and seafood than...

La mesa camilla

Image
The mesa camilla is a very Spanish invention (in fact I believe it to be a very southernly Spanish invention). It consists of a table, a heater and a heavy, long tablecloth-like fabric that drapes over the sides. The idea is that you put the heater under the table and when you sit down you put the fabric over you like a blanket. The truth is that it does keep you quite warm. The downside is that once you get up and move, you lose the heat. Since the houses and apartments here in the south of Spain are not created for the cold (no central heating) a mesa camilla can be found almost every where.  We didn't have one last year and survived with blankets, space heaters and flannel pajamas throughout the winter. This year Jose decided we needed to get a mesa camilla. I fought the good fight (since often times they look very similar to the option in the picture above) but we ended up ordering one not too long ago.  Typically the mesa camilla is made of wood and can be stored ...

Spanish names

Image
Maaaaaaaria, I just met a girl named Maria Hopefully you just read that and sang the song from West Side Story in your head. Let's just say that from what I have experienced here in Spain, people really, really like this name. In fact, there are times when it seems like EVERY woman or girl is named Maria (or Maria de/l something) and though they might go by the second part of their name, their given one is still Maria. People definitely opt for traditional names here, unlike the US where names go through trends.  Recently a friend on Facebook posted a link which contained a GIF  (originally from The Atlantic)  showing the different female names that had been popular in the US since 1960. It is interesting to see how a name like Jennifer would be popular in one region and then would sweep the nation. Such a map would not be as cool here in Spain since not a whole lot would change. Maria. Maria del Carmen. Miriam. Marian. Mirian. Variations on a theme. Religious...
