I was very excited when I saw this on Reading Adventures! I love anything to do with Christmas!! One of my favorite things to do to get me in the holiday mood is to watch Christmas movies, so for my Blog Advent Day I thought I would share with you some of my favorite Christmas movies.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (I prefer the classic, but the other one deserves a nod too) A Charlie Brown Christmas Scrooged National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

What are yours?
I always watch Trading Places for Christmas and feel it weird to watch it any other time around the year ;-) I also watch an old Danish tv-series from the late 1970'es which has nothing to do with Christmas, but that it the time of year I watch it, so it always remind me of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I kicked off the Christmas movie/special season last night by putting 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' in the DVD player. For me, Christmas is not Christmas until I see 'The Nutcracker' - preferrably live, which I'll be doing this Friday - 'Backadder's Christmas' (I cry with laughter over this one!), 'A Christmas Carol' (with George C. Scott), original 'Grinch', 'Charlie Brown Christmas', 'The Snowman' and 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'.
ReplyDeleteWoops - I meant 'Blackadder's Christmas'...
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI love A Charlie Brown Christmas!! I try to watch it every year when it's on. Thanks for sharing.

Muppet Christmas Carol. Actually, Christmas Carol in any form. Holiday Inn. It's a Wonderful Life. I go in for sappy at Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteBut I do like Scrooged. I may have to find that and watch it again this Christmas.
Bogsider - Trading Places is a great movie, one of my hubby's favorites!
ReplyDeleteJulia - as a little girl my mom would take me to see The Nutcracker and it was always so beautiful.
Melissa - oh yeah, how could I forget the Muppet Christmas Carol - fabulous! I love the muppets!
Yup, all of my favorites are listed. Have to see national lampoon, charlie brown, muppets chirstmas carol, and the grinch, and a chirstmas story, or it just dosen't feel like christmas.
ReplyDeleteI am very fond of Muppets Christmas Carol and Mickey's Christmas Carol. I have been watching both of them for years, so they sort of set the season for me. There are others that I will watch, but those are the two that are a staple for this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in!
I love It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street.
ReplyDeleteGreat movies. Love Actually is my new favorite Christmas movie, along with Elf, but the ones you have listed are ones I like too, except for Christmas Vacation. I've never 'got' that movie at all.
ReplyDeleteCome by my Advent post tomorrow, it's movie related as well.
Merry Christmas!
I love Christmas Vacation. It's so funny!
ReplyDeleteNat'l Lampoon is one of my favorites as well. Great post!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm here and you know how I feel about A Christmas Story.
ReplyDeleteFragile....Italian. ;)
I don't think I have ever seen any other version of the Grinch other than the Jim Carey one.
ReplyDeleteI really need to expand my Christmas movie collection...and my Christmas book collection as well!
Great list of Christmas movies!! Thanks for sharing them -- my favorite is Muppets Christmas Carol.
ReplyDeleteI'm very fond of the George C. Scott version of "A Christmas Carol." They did a great job with that - it is very true to the book. I also like "It's a Wonderful Life."
ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas movies?..now you're talking! I love Christmas movies and all the one that you listed are my favorite too. Every year I watch Charlie Brown Christmas and Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It a must watch for me.
ReplyDeleteMy others favorite, are The Christmas Carol, The Santa Clause (Tim Allen), Jingle All the Way, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34 Streets..etc. Mostly it's the movies that are made-for TV that had the special meaning for me. The traditional and classic movies are plus :)
Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays to you!
I love Christmas movies. My favorite is "A Christmas Story" The Grinch who stole Christmas warms my heart. I love all the Scrooge variations. Even the cheesy ones by Lifetime.
ReplyDeleteGood post.
It's tradition to watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty and Frosty Returns and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Also A Christmas Story, A Christmal Carol, Muppet Christmas Carol and Miracle on 34th Street. We used to watch It's a Wonderful Life every Christmas too but not so much anymore.
ReplyDeleteI also have two other cartoons that are becoming tradition, Bluetoes the Elf (very cute) and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
We have a Griswold Family Christmas over at our house this year: my husband decorated EVERY! SINGLE! TREE! in our front yard! Actually, it looks rather pretty, and nothing can be as funny as Chevy Chase in that classic film! I agree with you, they are great movies!
ReplyDeleteI saw a new one yesterday while at my in-laws...starred Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick. I don't know the title...Devito covers his house with lights and Broderick can't stand it, tries to sabotage it. Funny!
ReplyDeleteOh definately A Charlie Brown Christmas! And I adore the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. My husband said the other night that he'd like to watch Home Alone this year. :)
