Christmas Favorites: Our Top 10 Movies

Happy Holidays Everyone!!! First of all let us apologize for disappearing for awhile. Life has been challenging with a few changes. We are hoping to keep the Blog going, so at this time we may be doing a monthly posting. But hey, if we can of course we will do more! Thanks to everyone for taking an interest in our Blog and sticking with us :) it is much appreciated by Dylan and I.

So lets get to the REAL reason why we are here TODAY. Yes it is that time of year for HOLIDAY MOVIES!!!!! Come on you know it is a tradition in your home too. We all wait for this time of year to watch our beloved favorites that we normally do not think about through out the year. Dylan and I would like to share our TOP 10, it is not Christmas if we do not partake in these movies, with you. And you might notice a few of these tend to be a little on the darkside. Cause lets face it, being as little twisted is much more entertaining than the cutesy fluffy, Christmas is about love stuff. The list is in no particular order, but I feel I should say hands down A Christmas Story is my absolute favorite. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is up there too!

Have a VERY MERRY GEEKY CHRISTMAS, from the Geek Circus family to yours! 
10. Santa Claus is Coming to Town

OcTOYberFest!! Featuring Happy Worker Toys

This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of heading on down to Vaughan (Ontario, Canada) for it's annual "Octoyberfest", that's right, Oc-toy-ber...see what they did there. Despite it's small size it felt good! No big ass lines, giant crowds, it all seemed...right. A con with virtually no downside. THEY EVEN HAD A MARIO KART TOURNAMENT! (which I placed second in...stupid Rainbow Road) AND LOTS OF PRIZE RAFFLE BENEFITING KERRY'S PLACE AUTISM SERVICES, because that's a good thing for everyone to participate in!

There was lots of good stuff, ranging from Barbie to Xenomorphs...literally your entire childhood under one roof (plus the most amazing toys from the 60s, 70s and 80s) and lots of vendors there to showcase their own personal toy creations, such as Happy Worker Toys, which is based in Toronto
