You know you’re all talking about it anyway, so I thought I’d just go ahead and post my collection of the top 3 Christmas movies of all time.
One of our favorite things to do at Christmas is watch the movies that only seem to come out around the holidays, so here are my 3 favorites:
1. White Christmas
So I know I just said these are typically movies we only watch one time a year, but this is one that we watch ALL year round. My kids used to refer to this as “Mandy” in reference to our favorite dance scene featuring Vera Ellen (and those legs!) in the middle of the film, but really, who can argue with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye & Rosemary Clooney?
2. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
Being from Chicago, I love the various hometown references, and of course the fabulous theme song, but the classic Chevy Chase humor trumps all. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve referenced lines from this movie over they years!
3. The Original Christmas Classics
Really, it’s not Christmas until we get to watch Rudolph & the whole gang. If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be a tie between “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” with the Burgermeister Meisterburger and “Year Without a Santa Claus” with the infamous Heat & Cold Misers.
I know you all have your own favorites (please don’t be bitter that I didn’t include them!), so please feel free to share them in a comment below!
