Happy December!! {And Favorite Christmas Movies}

Oh, December, how I love thee. Although my decorations have been up since November 22nd, I'm ready for the real Christmas festivities to begin. My fridge is already stocked with Christmas cookies (butter shortbread and cinnamon shortbread to be exact), my pantry is filled with fun treats to make and I'm ready to gear up for some amazing Christmas movie marathons...I love, love, love Christmas movies. Be it cheeseball or serious, romantic or comedy, I'm all for it! I wanted to list a few of my favorite movies and see what some of yours were. Perhaps you can introduce me to a new titles to check out!

When it comes to Charlie Brown Christmas, I'm all about it. Half my ornaments are from the Peanuts gang, my side table is decked out in the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, Nativity Set and books. I usually watch it at least twice a year. This year, I'm set to show it to a friend of mine...she's never seen it! The best part of the entire movie, is when Linus shares the true meaning of Christmas. The fact that it still gets airtime and reminds me of what Christmas is all about still makes me teary eyed every time.

We both love Elf. And quote it all the time. And watch it all throughout the year. You either love it or hate it. ;-) Plus, I love Zooey in this movie. Her voice is just gorgeous when she sings and she's adorable.
We watched this while decorating the Christmas Tree this year. I hadn't seen it since I was a kid. Bing Crosby is always a hit in our house: he's charming, witty and such an amazing singer. This was a sweet movie with romance and a little comedy wrapped all in one.



Okay, Confession time: I think Tim Allen is hilarious. And Jamie Lee Curtis is funny in her own way. They make a perfect comedy duo in my humble opinion. I watch this movie at least two or three times a year. Oh, and last year I finally made the white chocolate pistachio candy. 10 points to whoever knows what part I'm referencing in the movie!

Classic, right? I love Jimmy Stewart. I love Bedford Falls. I love the angel with wings. I love everything about the movie. Sweet, romantic, funny and beautiful all rolled into one!

I watched this for the first time when we were married. I love the first one, but I have to admit, the second one was even better in my opinion. The scenes in New York City and Central park are just breathtaking! And I love the whole hotel episodes where he scares the hotel staff out of there wits. :D




I also have a special place in my heart for the cheesy, sentimental movies. The Christmas Shoes, Mrs. Miracle and pretty much any "made for tv" or "Hallmark" movie is fun in my book. I'm ready to hunt down some non traditional movies too!

Okay, I could go on and on for another hour about my favorite Christmas movies. But, I want to hear your favorite Christmas movies traditional or not so traditional. Share away! :)
