t's the most wonderful time of the year! Okay, maybe not so much. The weather in the Fargo/Moorhead area is so not Christmas-y this year. Yet, we will always make the best of it! What kind of Minnesota-nice people would we be if we didn't look on the bright side? Anyway, with finals week coming to a close, we have some free time to enjoy the holidays! Here is a list of my favorite holiday movies for you to watch when you find yourself inside on a cold night, snuggled up in blankets with hot chocolate! Enjoy!
