Merry Christmas!!

 Welcome back, everyone, and Merry Christmas!!!!

Today's topic is one that is really close to my heart. MOVIES! Specifically, Christmas movies!

Now, before I get started, I want to make a disclaimer about my opinions on Christmas movies. Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. I don't care what anyone says... it's not a Christmas movie, and that is a hill I will die on.

Please also note that any of the Harry Potter movies are also NOT Christmas movies. 

Another little side note, I love most Christmas movies, but the ones on this list are my favorites that I watch each year. There are plenty of other movies I watch, as well, but these are my favorites.

I absolutely love The Holiday. It is such a fun and heartwarming movie. It isn't strictly Christmas, but I do tend to watch it around Christmas time, so that's why it's on this list. I just always have that warm feeling in my heart when I watch this movie.

Plus, the cast is amazing! I highly recommend! It's charming and funny and sweet. 

I know, I know.. a horror movie for Christmas? But I gotta say, it's such a fun movie! The female power is awesome, and I just have a fun time with this movie. It doesn't necessarily put me in the Christmas spirit, but I still enjoy watching it.

If you like horror movies, this one is a fun ride!

I mean, come on! How can Home Alone not be on this list???? It's a classic. What do I really need to say about it? It's just great!

And again, how could it not be on this list? I a lot of times prefer the second one. Not only does it have the same cast, it also has Tim Curry... and Tim Curry is the best.

This one makes me laugh even harder. I have to suspend my disbelief a bit on this one, but that's okay. It is just such a fun ride.

It's funny to me how much I love Elf. My parents absolutely hate it, but I just really love it. So much. I can't even explain why I love it, but I do. I highly recommend it!

Ignore the bits at the top of the photo.. I screenshotted this from Google and couldn't get them edited out with ruining the title.

White Christmas is one of the movies that I grew up with. Every Christmas Eve (for the most part), we would get curled up in the living room and watch White Chrismtas and one other movie on this list.

I adore Bing Crosby, but this movie is such a classic. There are some things that aren't exactly PC, but it was a different time, and I try to get past that. 

It's a musical and it's funny and sweet and romantic. I just love it!

It's a bit cheesy, but I love Daddy's Home 2. The first one is even better, but the first one isn't a Christmas movie. It's a fun movie. Ridiculous but fun!

Holiday Inn is the other movie along with White Christmas that we would watch as a family on Christmas Eve. This one is even less PC, but again, it was a different time. It doesn't make it okay, but I still love this movie. 

The music is wonderful, and I just really love Bing Crosby. This movie has my favorite version of the song White Christmas of all time.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. The Santa Clause is so fun! If you haven't seen it, you definitely should. 

And of course I had to have another one on this list. I skipped the second one because I personally think the third one is much better than the second one, just saying. You add Martin Short to anything and it just makes it wonderful.

Okay, so those are just a few of my favorite Christmas movies. I typically watch these at least once each year during the holiday season. So if you haven't seen any of these, you should look into them!

What are some of your favorite Christmas movies? And no, Die Hard especially is not a correct answer.

Okay, that's it for this one! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays!

Bye, everyone!
