The Christmas Movies That Make Christmas
A Christmas Story: Some love this classic, and others are extremely annoyed by it, but it’s still one of those good old Christmas movies. This classic brought uniqueness (leg lamp; pink bunny pajamas; official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, etc.) to Christmas.
Charlie Brown Christmas: Charlie Brown movies, especially Charlie Brown Christmas, bring back such great memories of childhood and how much we relate to poor Charlie Brown.
Elf: “You sit on a throne of lies” if you say you don’t like this movie. The hilarity that ensues with each of Buddy’s quotes and missteps makes the Christmas season a million times better. It almost makes you want to try his version of spaghetti.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Whether the Jim Carrey version or the classic cartoon, you can’t go through the Christmas season without watching at least one version of this story. It is always a good reminder of what matters at Christmas!
It’s a Wonderful Life: No matter how many times you watch this movie, it can still make you tear up. It is a fantastic reminder life is wonderful and that you make a difference.
Miracle on 34th Street: If you haven’t seen this movie, you need to take a couple hours and just do it. It will make you believe in Santa again as little Susan does.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: This movie brings back such great memories of Christmas when we were kids (and when our parents were kids).
The Polar Express: One of those every-year Christmas movies that you can’t possibly live without. The music is wonderful and brings in the Christmas magic.
White Christmas: This wonderful classic simply makes you nostalgic for snow and has wonderful music and fun dancing. It’s such a great hot chocolate movie that just makes you smile.
