Ho! Ho! Ho!
Today its TBR's turn on the 25 days of Jubilation. A Christmas celebration hosted by some groovy gals. So in honor of the season and the giving spirit Im sharing my top five Christmas movies with you all and giving away a special treat at the end of the post.
Tinas Favorite Christmas Movies
A Christmas Story
This is my number one favorite! We watch this every year on that 24 hour marathon on TBS or TNT..(whatever one...). Its on usually at least for 6 hours while I wrap presents and bake Christmas cookies. Its kind of like its not Christmas unless I see it at least once. I can quote the entire movie, its pretty hilarious.......
"I said the mother of all swears...The F- dash dash dash!!!!
Elf
How can you not like this movie? Will Ferrell is so funny, it doesn't matter that I've seen this 5000 times, it just gets funnier everytime I watch it. At some point I want to work up the courage to answer my phone and ask people what their favorite color is.
Comfort and Joy
So this is probably the cheesiest most corny movie ever....but I absolutely adore it. Its the classic what if story but I really loved the acting and entire feel of the movie. I even bought this movie so I could watch it every year...even though its on Lifetime 20 times throughout the season.
Die Hard
My favorite 80's action movie and it takes place on Christmas. What more could you ask for? A young hot Bruce Willis celebrating the season with a psycho killer. Classic!!!
Its A Wonderful Life
Ill admit while this is one of my favorite movies ever, I rarely watch it. Its kind of almost to sad. I only have a handful of black and whites that I enjoy and this one is by far done very well. Who can watch this and not get swept away by Stewart's performance?

I consider Die Hard a Christmas Movie too :) Also Love Actually and The Holiday---these are staples of my Holiday :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, love this list. I was wondering why The Cleveland Show did a parody of Die Hard for their Christmas special! Haha duh.

You make me feel like dancing!!!
ReplyDeleteDie Hard is the BEST X-mas movie EVAH!!!
I love ELF! I always bust out singing at the end, I just can't help it. Also, can't help but gag at the gum part. LOL! I also love WHITE CHRISTMAS and MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, the new one. I love me some musicals. :D Oh, and THE SANTA CLAUSE starting Tim Allen. YAY for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove that you threw in Die Hard! I love watching Christmas Vacation. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas movies. :) Elf is one of my favourites, as well as Home Alone, and Christmas Vacation. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe that I have never seen A Christmas Story??? Maybe this will be the year! PS.. I love cheesy Lifetime movies!!!

I've never seen Die Hard, so while I'm not sure it'll get me in the Christmas Spirit it's the one I entered to win! lol. But I will totally be watching A Christmas Story as well...that pink bunny costume...kills me every time!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I need to rewatch Elf!
ReplyDeleteHey, stranger? How have you been? Sorry I haven't been around. I've got your blog popping up in my e-mail now. Don't know why I didn't do that to begin with. *slaps head*
ReplyDeleteI think we have all of those films already, but thanks. One question: where's the Muppet Christmas Carol? I gotta' have that every year!
Some horror writer, huh? ;)

The only one I haven't seen is Comfort and Joy. All of the others I love! A Christmas Story just makes me laugh every stinkin time I watch it! So many scenes have me in stitches: Fra Gee Lee! Oh my goodness! And the big F dash dash dash! "You'll shoot your eye out!" and then Ralph stroking the plastic leg lamp! Has me in tears every time! And can't forget the lopping off of the duck head in the Chinese restaurant! A great movie!
ReplyDeleteHAHA Julie...oh my gosh I love all those quotes!! I hated that leg lamp and that ugly Santa in the movie with all his Ho-ho-ho's....!!!
ReplyDelete"Dont touch that turkey!!...You'll get Worms!!"
Elf is my favorite! I quote that movie all year long!
