christmas movies

A Christmas is right around the corner (one week, ahhh!) and that means a few things, I need to get shopping and I need cozy up by the fire and watch some holiday movies.  So many people I have been talking to have seen few or little parts of some of the best Christmas movies. I can't believe that because I just love watching Christmas movies. I gathered up some of my all time favorites and put them together.  Only two of them are on Netflix, but the others are always showing on Freeform's (originally ABC Family) 25 days of Christmas, except for A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Elf  If you haven't seen it I strongly advise watching it- and from the beginning!  It just brings a little bit of the holiday spirit you had as a kid back with so many just plain funny moments.

Home Alone Hilarious. Point blank.

Home Alone 2 (Lost in New York) 
If you've seen the first movie you can imagine how good the second one would be.  I know a lot of people disagree, but I have to say the second one is my favorite, I mean come on Marv.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

I just rewatched this last night, I think that it's the funniest of the Christmas movies.  It's just one of those laugh out loud movies that the whole family would enjoy watching, I know I do.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

I love Charlie Brown movies in general, I just think they are funny and cute, but the Christmas edition is the best.  If you have seen it, the tree is my favorite, and I thinks it's the reason I love the scrawny Christmas trees in all the lots.  The movie really has the true message of Christmas in it.

Miracle on 34th Street (the original or 1994 version)

A classic. Nothing more can explain it, you just have to watch it, but you have to watch the original. The black and white just adds to it, but the 94' version is also good, but the newest one is not! (On Netflix now)

White Christmas

It's an oldie, but goodie, again another classic but a statement to the finishing up my favorites.  (On Netflix now)
