Every year around the holidays, I love watching a slew of different Christmas movies to really get me into the spirit of things. It's an old tradition back to when I was a kid, and one that also usually involved making chocolate chip cookies (happily, I'll admit to eating more cookie dough than actual cookies, but, alas, that was just part of the experience).
Some of the movies I love watching are old favorites from our family's tradition, and some are newfound favorites I've come to love over the years. If you're looking for a few good movies to watch either on your own or with your family, here are the list of my favorites:
Old Traditions:
White Christmas
A Charlie Brown's Christmas
Garfield's Christmas
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story
The Santa Clause
All the Claymation Movies
New Favorites:
Elf
The Holiday
Love Actually
A Muppet's Christmas Carol (no, this is not a new movie, but I was only recently introduced to it!)
Other Good Ones, but not necessarily favorites:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (both cartoon and Jim Carrey versions)
Miracle on 34th Street
It's a Wonderful Life
Four Christmases
Polar Express
So, happy watching, and maybe even family time...and may your chocolate chip cookies actually make it into the oven!
