Christmas movies I know and love

Mmmmm....Christmas movies.  I love them.  For your viewing pleasure, check these out:





White Christmas.  My official present wrapping movie.  Every year I pull out all the presents I've bought and have one giant wrapping session.  Always with a mug of hot chocolate and always with this movie on.  I have my Aunt Pat to thank for introducing me to the film when I was a kid.  The dancing makes me happy, the SNOW harmony song makes me happy, and the closing scene still gives me goosebumps.  



Classic Seuss!  This small, animated film is Christmas perfection. 






A new favorite.  This movie came out a few years ago and I think it's kind of delightful.  Love Jude Law, love that some of the characters are in the movie biz, think it's sweet and fun. 

I think this movie has something for everyone.  Christmas and magic and kids and romance and a trial and parades and animals.  The classic Miracle on 34th Street is good.  I prefer this one.  When they made the new one they did it in a very classic style, they really wanted this movie to become a new classic.  You'll notice all the characters in very tailored, timeless clothing.  It's a new classic in my mind.  

This movie follows the Smith family through a year of their life leading up to the 1904 World's Fair.  The Christmas scene is the most amazing though.  It's where Judy Garland premiere the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, which happens to be my favorite Christmas song.

  1. Holiday Inn and Christmas Vacation are by far my top two.
    I will have to say that I tear up every time I see George Bailey running through the streets shouting "Merry Christmas!"
    Good choices though, I like the new blog look. I feel like mine is ancient now.

  2. I should rent Holiday Inn. I've never seen it and know I would love it.
