Yes, I know that is not a single holiday, rather two holidays and the 25-plus days in between. Well, what can I say? It's a blast!
One of the things that I really enjoy about Christmas is all of the fantastic family movies. You know how most of the year contains non-family friendly movies? Well, Christmas has lots of them. Good, healthy movies where the good trumps the bad. Where sometimes they even talk about the real meaning of Christmas - Jesus Christ. Where love wins and families unite.
So here are some of my favorite movies - the twelve best movies of Christmas.
- Holiday Inn - It's true that White Christmas got a lot more traction, but the very similar Holiday Inn is so much better!
- The Shop Around the Corner
- It Happened on Fifth Avenue - This movie is a total gem! I wasn't expecting anything when I saw it for the first time, and it immediately turned into one of my favorites.
- Holiday Affair - So my husband was really put off by the title, but think of an affair in the 1940s as more of an occurrence, than the affair we think of today. Love triumphs. A war widow is engaged to the safe, boring guy, until a former soldier walks into her life.
- Christmas in Connecticut
- Meet Me in St. Louis
- Christmas Card - A beautiful setting. The way that you wish Christmas and love could be.
- Balto - This winter cartoon has been a favorite since the year it came out when I was kid. What a wonderful story!
- Polar Express - This is our Christmas Eve tradition! I don't have kids and I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I love this instant classic. It will be a tradition in my family every year for as long as we are able to keep the tradition going.
- Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas
- Jingle All the Way - My husband's all-time-favorite Christmas movie.
- Home Alone 2
There you have it… The best movies of Christmas. Some for you, some for the kids, and some for the guys.
