Hello everyone, I hope all is well with you. I’m back today after a week of work and some writing, not as much as I’d like, but that happens around the holidays. So, I give myself a little grace during this time. But enough about that. Today, I want to talk about some of my favorite Christmas movies. We put our tree up this week. We usually do it the day after Thanksgiving, but with the boys and their work schedule we had to put it off. Once we put up the tree and decorated it, I started watching Christmas movies.
Here’s a list of my favorites:
- Love Actually
This is my favorite movie of all time. I love how this movie tells the story of love during the holidays. It’s fun and tender, all at the same time.
- The Holdovers
This movie was so good. Again, another underdog movie. About a young man stuck at school during the holidays. I loved the fact the teacher stood up for this young teen. Especially when his own family had abandoned him. This is a must see.
- The Polar Express
This is my third favorite. It reminds me of when the kids were little and we’d watch this movie together. There’s a lot of nostalgia with this one, and it brings back some fun memories.
- Die Hard
This one is a great action movie, and the family likes to get together and watch this one, too. The boys like this one now that they’re older. I like this one because I love underdog movies, and Bruce Willis’s character is the underdog.
- Christmas Vacation
This movie was so funny. It poked fun at family traditions and at dysfunctional families. If you need a good laugh. This one’s for you.
- Scrooged
This one stars Bill Murray, and it’s a modern-day version of a Christmas Carol. It’s a funny movie with a serious message. It was entertaining.
- A Christmas Carol
I loved watching this one even as a child. I loved the fact that the grumpy miser gets what’s coming to him, and it turns him into a better human being. This one has a great message.
- A Christmas Story
This is a heartwarming story of Christmas from a child’s perspective. It has some funny and tender moments. A good one to watch before the holidays.
- It’s a Wonderful Life
This is a classic. It tells the story about George Bailey who’s down on his luck. It’s like Scrooge but with a twist. George has a heavenly journey that shows how bad life would have been if he had not been born. It’s the story of second chances and redemption.
So, there you have it, nine of my favorite Christmas movies. Do you need to get into the Christmas Spirit? Watch one of these! I’m sure they’ll help. How about you? What are your favorite Christmas movies? Leave a comment! I’d love to hear from you!
