Feeling Lucky?

While too much green is never a good thing, I love loving all of these, maybe just not all together.

A Few of my Favroites

There are plenty of great things about the hoildays but being such a TV junkie one of my favroite things is all of the Chritmas movies and specials that I get to watch. Here a few of my all time favroites, along with the rest of our teams.

Scrooged is probably the first Christmas movie I started to watch every year. Such a classic story with such a strange twist to it. My favroite was the crazy fariy who just crazy and sparkly.

Die Hard while not the classic Christmas Movie is a great tale about using the Christmas Spirit to save lives and take down the bad guys. It has now become a household tradation for some of us to watch it this time of year.

Love Actually is such a feel good movie, its great to just cuddle up on the sofa and watch with your one and only or just all of your friends.


An all time favroite for every age, Just last year I introduced this to my newphews and they loved it! It can really be enjoyed by everyone. Not to mention my favorite parts of this movie, the soundtrack and the great one liners.

No Christams would be complete with out turning on A Christmas Story for a least one of the at least 8 showings that happen on Christmas Eve and Day alone. With such an honest story it is a job to not laugh.

An all around favroite. The season would just not be complete without It's A Wonderful Life


While not orginally a traditional Christmas movie, A Nightmare Before Christmas has quickly gained cult following is now on many great Christmas movie lists. At one point in my childhood I could recite almost every song. I love the snow and Christmas land and the werid-sweet love story.

Last but not at all least is the orginal How the Grinch Stole Christmas. A pure classic. I was pretty sad when they remade this actually, but there is no fighting with the charm and happiness that this movie brings.


From all of us at the Virginia Gail Collection we wish you Happy Holidays and hope that you all find some time to relax and watch one of these great movies!

Nothing says the holidays are here like ...

Cheese Straws.

Didn't expect me to throw that out there did you? I'm sure you thought I'd say the beautifully decorated trees adorning the mall, or the glistening ornaments glaming up the showroom. Or even the promise that the U-Mall Santa is on his way...

Nope, cheese straws.

I have fond memories of being a little girl and baking cheese straws with my mom to package up and give to family friends as holiday party hostess gifts. Those tasty snacks and fond memories are now available in a pre-packaged version in the showroom without the work & time to make your own! Best part, they are just a good as the ones you make at home, in fact, I'll venture to say the cheese rings are better than homemade.

Ginny O, a Raleigh producer of cheese rings, bakes up delicious batches of these tasty rings daily from their over 150 year old family recipe. Listed as one of Oprah's favorite things, featured on the Food Network, served on Air Force One, & in the NC Governor's mansion, these cheese straws are sure to become a holiday favorite!

Why don't you stop by for a sample, and pick up a package or two to take as a pre-feast munchie next week?
