Classic Christmas

Happy Blogmas Day 6

I like spending my weekends curled up binge-watching or catching up on shows I’ve been missing. I also never say no to a good movie marathon. So, I may or may not have spent my Sunday watching some Christmas classics. 

Am I posting two lists back to back? I am. Was that my original intention? No, but I can’t help it. Some things are just too good not to share. I also take back any pride I had for waiting almost a week to post a list. 

1. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: There is only one movie that is more traditional. 
2. Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town: This is 51 minutes of tradition. 
3. The Santa Clause: 26 years later and this movie still holds up! Tim Allen just might be the best Santa. 
4. Frosty the Snowman: Is there a more iconic character? Sure, we have Santa as well as Rudolph, but Frosty is right up there with them. 
5. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit toys: This movie has always hit close to home. Feeling like a misfit never seemed like a bad thing after an hour with Rudolph and his friends. 
6. Elf: Two words: Will Ferrell 
7. The Polar Express: One of the greatest movie soundtracks to date. Does anyone else sing Hot Chocolate while they’re making some? You also can never go wrong with Tom Hanks at the forefront. 
8. Christmas with the Kranks: You can never get enough of Tim Allen during the holidays. The Kranks don’t understand the iconic status of Frosty. 
9. The Grinch: All three films are good in their own right, but nothing beats the original 1966 version. 
10. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation: If Christmas traditions were a movie they’d be this movie.

There are so many classic Christmas movies. How many will you watch this year?
