Okay, so we just want to talk about, like, acute Christmas traditions that we have, like, been following. like throughout these years or maybe the new traditions we want to start so I think the most like what do you call it like the most the most basic thing like that we want to talk about is like our Christmas movie list yeah definitely and Avantika is like generally gonna have like a never Speaker 2 (1:25) -ending Speaker 1 (1:25) one Speaker 2 (1:26) I do usually have a never-ending Christmas movie list. I think I start around the first week of December, like the last week of November. And I just go on and on and on. Every single night, I have a Christmas movie to watch. But especially during this week, in the Christmas week, my dad and I go through. We start. There's a Princess Diaries movie. It's got three parts. Me and my dad start. We watch all three of them.

Speaker 1 (2:37) When Speaker 2 (2:37) you start watching them, you kind of keep getting Speaker 1 (2:39) into the Christmas feeling. Yeah, definitely. Like for me, like two of the movies that stand out for me, like apart from Princess Switch. So this one is the baking one. I guess I never remembered the name. But it's something about the baking. A baking, like, the girl bakes for, like, a charitable, like, institution and she falls in love with, like, the son of the owner or something. I don't remember. I've seen this. And I don't think it's Speaker 2 (3:05) a Speaker 1 (3:05) charitable institution, though. I think it's the... Wait. My last Christmas bake... The Christmas bake-away, I think. Something like that. I was just watching that movie. And the second one is, I don't think it's like a general Christmas movie, but it has Chad Michael Murray in that. Christmas something. I don't remember. See, I'm very bad with names. Yeah, Speaker 2 (3:30) yeah. But I do know what I'm talking about. Speaker 1 (3:32) It's the Chad Michael Murray Christmas movie and it's like a delight to watch every time. Speaker 2 (3:38) I think it's like very cute. There are so many Christmas movies. recent the most recent christmas movie i've seen that is not princess witch or uh the other one is a brush with christmas so it's basically like this one uh so there's like a small town thing a guy from like new york comes into the city and the girl is a chef but she's also a paint dog so like her dad's like the master chef kind of a person and then like he kind of passes away so she takes over the restaurant and then like she starts painting and then the guy who's come from new york is also like a huge painter and everything so like it just works out between that was so cute and like i feel like that is like one of my big time movies the night before christmas by vanessa hudgens is also a really cute movie uh Speaker 1 (4:22) wait i think we just let me go on and on i'm definitely sure this but we love to know the name wait it's catering christmas Oh, yes.
