It's official! I've got the holiday bug. I know there are those of you who hate those of us who start with the Christmas carols and movies as soon as Halloween is done but I just can't help it! It may be because last year I was getting ready to have my gall bladder removed and was eating nothing but cereal and smoothies but I am EXCITED for this Thanksgiving/Christmas season! I've been starting to watch a few of my favorite Christmas flicks and loving every minute of it! So I thought I'd post a list of my faves (in no particular order):
- Miracle on 34th Street (old & new but especially new)
- Home Alone (Gordon's personal favorite)
- Home Alone 2 (equally as hilarious as #1)
- Elf
- The Santa Clause: 1, 2 & 3
- It's A Wonderful Life (always reminds me of my parents)
- The Nativity
- A Season for Miracles (makes me cry every time!)
- Snow (a great one for kids! Even Tyler watched it with me!)
- Luke 2
- How The Grinch Stole Christmas (animated version- not a fan of the Jim Carey one.)
- All the clay-mation movies
- The Disney Christmas Collection (Scrooge is awesome!)
- A Christmas Carol (always a classic!)
- I'll Be Home For Christmas ("Oh, no!! I went and killed Santa!") :)
Let's face it! I just LOVE this time of year! Happy (early) Holidays everyone!

We also love Snow Day and Ron's favorite is the one with the Red Rider BB Gun. I forget what it's called. I'm trying to give Thanksgiving its fair shake this year and I'm not even sure how much of my Christmas stuff I'll put up. It feels like a lot of work this year! (I love to get it out, hate to put it away.) But, I'll definitely be playing Christmas songs all month long.
We are already listening to Christmas music at work, and Devin and I are going to set up our Christmas decorations this weekend (we decided what the heck, we're not even going to be here for Thanksgiving). I haven't seen all of those movies on your list but you do have some good ones!
My favorite Christmas movie is still probably Scrooge (the Albert Finnley version). If you dont remember it, then we need to have a play date and watch it. We put Christmas up today and its a little surreal that it is this close already. But Josh loves the decorations and I can tell already that Im going to be getting him out of them for the next month and a half!
I totally know what you mean! Boo on the people who can't stand listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving haha. I love this time of year, and I just may try out a few of the movies on your list that I haven't seen! :)
I'm just excited that you can finally listen to Christmas music 24/7. I'm not sure when the radio started this, but I've been listening to my Christmas CD's since the second week in October. Tiffany
