Favorite Christmas Movies

The month of November is all about giving thanks. It’s easier to focus on what we’re thankful for when others around us are sharing what they’re thankful for. This leads up to the BIG day of Thanksgiving – a day where everyone seems to slow down and reflect on the blessings in their lives.
 
Then, the day after Thanksgiving comes. After a month of giving thanks, a switch seems to flip, and it’s all about getting the best deals and buying more stuff.
 
There’s nothing wrong with shopping (I love the convenience of online shopping), but for me, the idea of standing in lines and spending lots of money is not the way I want to begin the Christmas season.
 
Instead, the day after Thanksgiving usually involves putting up my Christmas tree, listening to Christmas music (this is the first day I will listen to Christmas music), and watching Christmas movies. 

​Here are some of my favorite Christmas movies:

• Elf - "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."
• Home Alone - This was my favorite Christmas movie growing up. I still watch it every year.
• National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - It's impossible to watch this movie without laughing.
• Family Stone - A touching movie - have tissues nearby. 
• Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer - Proof that stop-motion animation is still fun to watch.
• Santa Clause (1&2) - Surprisingly, Tim Allen makes a great Santa. 
• A Christmas Story - "You'll shoot your eye out!"; This movie made leg lamps popular. 
• Frozen - Years later, these songs are still stuck in my head. 
• A Charlie Brown Christmas - A classic; Linus shares the true reason we celebrate Christmas.
• Frosty The Snowman - This movie makes me feel like a kid again.
