Christmas Movie Gift Ideas (and Birthday Day Weekend with my Dad!)
This past weekend, I stayed at my dad’s house for my “2nd Annual Traci’s Birthday Weekend!”
You can read on the picture above from instagram that for my birthday last year, I wanted to spend it with Dad because I didn’t get to see him much because of covid. I wrote a post about it HERE.
We had the best time ever last year, watching Hallmark Christmas movies, eating popcorn, doing puzzles, drinking hot chocolate, and more!
So I couldn’t wait to do it again this year!
Last year, I got Dad a Hallmark Christmas movie popcorn bowl, but this year, I went to our local Hallmark store and got him some slippers…
An ornament, and this cute little mug…
He is always such a good sport with these gifts, and we love spending this precious time together doing simple things. 
For my birthday, I don’t need big presents or fancy parties…I just want TIME. Time with those I love. And I will never forget these weekends that I have spent with Dad for my birthday! I’m praying the Lord allows us to have a 3rd Annual birthday weekend next year!
If you love watching Hallmark Christmas movies with your loved ones as much as I do, you may enjoy giving them some of these gifts for the holidays…

What a way to spend your birthday, making the best memories with your dad.
I absolutely love the fact that you understand you might not have him forever. I took early retirement to help my mom care for my dad. One day he turned to me and said he had given my brothers his guns and boats but he didn’t know what he had that I might want. I teared up and said ”all the time you have”. We spent hours talking about his childhood and military service. We took drives where he showed me where his grandparents had lived & were buried. I treasure those memories. Thank you for stirring up those memories for me.
Your post brought tears to my eyes. I would love that with my dad. Lost him 22 years ago. He fell off a ladder and died instantly. Very tragic…. Only 63. I miss him so much. Hold onto those Bday times with your dad for sure. Love your Hallmark movie gift ideas. My daughter got me a t shirt last year with saying on it about watching Hallmark movies. I still wear it. Fun. Great post. I remember reading your last year Bday post and glad you did it again. For sure do it annually. I’m sure he loves it as much as you. :).
I love this post and love that you wanted time with your Dad for your birthday. I also love watching Hallmark Christmas movies and all my friends know it and tease me as I DVR them and watch them all year long. I love Candace Cameron Bure so my favorite movies usually have her in the leading role, Let It Snow, Christmas Town, and the one where she is a doctor in Alaska. I also love Lacey Chabert and the Christmas Movies she stars in. My favorite one of her’s is A Wish for Christmas. Thanks for sharing such a fun post!
As a daddy’s girl whose daddy graduated to Heaven 9 years ago, I can’t agree more! Time spent with my daddy is time I still cherish as some of the best!! So glad you got to spend another bday weekend with your precious papa!!
