Well, I can't believe the Christmas Season is here! I can't believe December is here! Where did 2011 go? In honor of the Christmas Season, I thought I'd let you know about the Christmas movies that are a must for me! And I can't put these in any kind of order because I have a weird obsession with all of them so I feel bad to compare them.. I am a freak.

The Family Stone
I honestly think this movie does not get enough credit! It wins the award in my book for the most viewed each December.. and only in December. :) I watch it over and over and over and can't get enough. It makes me want a huge family even though they are all pretty dysfunctional.. I love the chaos. I also love when the little girl comes downstairs Christmas morning and not everyone is awake yet and Susannah tells her, 'Just stockings', because it makes me think of my childhood!
She has got this throat-clearing tick... it's like she's digging for clams! 

The Holiday
I remember when this movie came out and shortly after it did my best friend Megan came to visit me in CA. I believe it was Spring Break but we watched this movie start to finish back to back about a million times! Such a great storyline and such a great cast! My mom always talks about how much she likes the story of the old man and Kate Winslet.. I however like Cameron Diaz and Jude Law. (I also fast forward through the old people parts in The Notebook.. go ahead, call me shallow!)
You look like my barbie!
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (The one with Jim Carrey)
I loooooove this movie. I think it's awesome in it's own way but still closely follows the original.
The the the THE GRINCH!

Elf
Of course! I remember seeing it in theaters and falling in LOVEEEEE with Zooey Dechanel's voice and the song Baby It's Cold Outside.. and forever quoting pretty much every single Will Farrell line. 

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

The Santa Clause
One of my childhood favorites! (Yes, I am a 90's kid.) Shortly after seeing this movie my brothers decided that it explained everything about Santa and that's how it all really worked. Tim Allen cracks me up!! And don't even get me started on the sequels.. so dumb!
Po-po she showww
Home Alone
CLASSIC!! Oh this one holds such a sweet spot in my heart. My brothers and I used to try and set boobie traps for bad guys (or each other) after watching this. 
When I grow up and get married, I'm living ALONE!!
Christmas Vacation
This is another one I grew up on. We used to watch it every Christmas Eve as a family.. and I have to say I didn't completely understand it then.. probably the only reason my parents let me watch it. It's another one that is constantly quoted in my family and can still make us all laugh!!
You surprised to see us, Clark?
Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am
now.



 Well that's all for now. What movies do you like to watch at Christmas time?!

  1. I LOVE the Family Stone! It's such a staple Christmas movie... I agree with you about the large fam yet dysfunctional but so great at the same time. If you don't watch it already you should watch Parenthood on nbc. totally the same feeling for all year round.
    Enjoy the next few weeks leading up to Christmas. =]
