Christmas Movies!

We've been watching a favorite Christmas Movie every few nights. Such fun! We light a fire and have hot cocoa. Sometimes we even put our laptops down and snuggle!
Anyway, here's what we've been watching, or will watch soon:

We love this one any time of year actually. A big sloppy kiss of a movie dusted with a thick layer of sugary romance. And great soundtrack to boot!

I like the first and second one. I love all the Christmas-in-New Yorkyness (I am allowed to make up words) of the sequel. Just cute and funny! We've taught the kids to strike the Kevin pose and scream.

This premiered on TV a couple of years ago. A musical version with Kelsey Grammer and Jason Alexander. I loved it so much that Shane bought if for me.
I remember seeing this in theaters when I was little! Probably too little to really be seeing it actually?? It's SO funny!

I don't think the kids would sit for this whole movie yet but I know they'd like it on in the background. They love trains, snow, and have a love-hate relationship with Santa Claus.

I've never seen the original version of this the whole way through but I really love this one. Mara Wilson is so cute. Where is she now anyway?




Sort of "It's a Wonderful Life" type movie. Romantic and funny. Incidentally, "It's a Wonderful Life" is another one I've never seen the whole way through. GASP!

Son of a nutcracker! This movie cracks us up!

I recently learned that Shane has never seen this one so I've asked for it for Christmas. Hopefully we'll catch it on TV before the season is over.
This is a classic for me. And tons of other people too! My family watched it every year at Christmastime.

It wouldn't be a complete list for "us" if I didn't include these last two for Shane. He and his dad are adament that these are the best Christmas movies! What better captures the feel good holiday spirit than a charming story about an absentee father who flies to L.A. for the holidays and reunites with his family? And his wife is named Holly after all. That's Christmassy.
We saw this one on a date the other night. If you like your Christmas movies wrapped in dysfunction, you'll love it. It's hilarious and will make you feel good about your own crazy fam!
