Each year I add different Christmas movies to our collection, just like I add Christmas books to our collection too. I love to watch all the old favourites over the Christmas season to get in the mood for festive fun. Thought I’d share some of our favourites.

Yesterday as I said Grace’s advent calendar said to choose a Christmas movie, some treats and spend some family time relaxing and enjoying a movie together.  Together we chose “The Santa Clause”, I added this and “The Santa Clause 2 and 3” to our movie collection this year.

   

Another movie with Tim Allen in it that is on our must see list is “Christmas with the Kranks”. I think we all have moments where we think it would be great to ditch Christmas and go spend it on a tropical island but something always keeps us going through the traditions and in the end we love it!  I’ve just watched this tonight while finishing off some crafty Christmas gifts, I’ll share them soon.

Another movie added to our collection this year is this “Mickey – Twice upon a Christmas” dvd, it’s a range of mini Disney stories with Mickey and the gang. Grace has enjoyed it a few times so far, a good classic with morals and goodwill in most of the stories in true Disney style.

Ever since I was a kid each and every Christmas I’ve always watched “Home Alone” and “Home Alone – Lost in New York”, I guess I was just the right age when these movies came out to leave a memory imprinted.

    

Then lately Grace has been very taken with “The Grinch who stole Christmas”. She started watching in back in November and i thought she’d get a bit scared but she thinks it’s great and I’ve just found the book for our collection too.

I enjoyed watching “Four Holidays” last night, complete crazy family antics but funny

One from my childhood that I loved and really made me believe in Santa was “The night they saved Christmas” about a family that get taken to the north pole to meet Santa so they can convince their father to stop drilling for oil very close by Santa’s home.

It wouldn’t be Christmas day without each of these movies being on TV. “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” and on Christmas morning you have to watch the old classic “Rudolph the red nosed reindeer”.

This year we’ve added these to the list of must sees, I’ve never seen either but I’ve heard great things about “The Polar Express” and with out little house guest Dumpty I sure the “Elf” movie will go down well with Grace.

   

I’m sure there are many more that I’ve missed. What are your favourite Christmas movies?
