top 10 christmas movies

i'm supposed to be packing to leave at 5am tomorrow... flying to my parent's place for a superquick christmas visit. but, i hate packing. so i made a list instead!

these are the 10 best christmas movies as determined my me. (they are MY favourites. of course they don't include some 'classics'.)

and be forewarned ~ i'm totally gonna cheat.

1. mickey's christmas carol - my very favourite christmas movie EVER. hands down. i can recite the entire thing. oh, and JIMINY!!

2. home alone & home alone 2 (see, cheating.) - classics. but only the first 2. any others are an abomination.


3. miracle on 34th street - both the 1947 and 1994 versions. different movies but equally great. tear up every time.
 

4. elf - this is hubby's tradition. has to watch it every year. it is great though. 

5. the santa clause - i LOVE this movie. it's magical.

6. the grinch - again, with the magic and the feels.

7. the bishop's wife / the preacher's wife - (still cheating.) TOTALLY different movies but both great.


8. a charlie brown christmas - love when they all gather around the paino and "ooh-ooh-ooh" the carols. and the tree! iconic.

9. rudolph the red-nosed reindeer - c'mon.

10. frosty the snowman - ditto. (and karen ftw.)


honourable mention: the night they saved christmas - i watched this as a kid once or twice and never forgot it. i thought it was so magical. then i watched it as an adult....  supercheesy 80's movie, but i still kind of love it. 

now go ahead and tell me about all the ones i left off my list...
