12 Days of Christmas Day 8: Movies

"I double-dog dare ya!"

Watching Christmas movies with my family is probably one of the most nostalgic aspects of the season. Every year on Christmas day, a certain TV station plays the movie "A Christmas Story" nonstop, for 24 hours straight. I love it. Some people in my family hate it. I don't let the TV be tuned to any other station. I own the movie on DVD. Also, the movie "Elf", with Will Farrell, has become another Christmas-time must in my household. I find it to be absolutely HI-larious. There are so many great one-liners. Plus, it's still very innocent and good for all ages. Then, of course, there's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". Can't forget that!

Buddy the elf!

Besides the big, well-known classics, there are also plenty of made-for-TV holiday movies. The acting and plot lines aren't always the best, but they still put me into the holiday spirit! If I'm ever in need of to something to watch or to play in the background this time of year, I'll always look for one of those to put on. Anything Christmas- or holiday-related is fine by me!

Rudolph!

In my time spent abroad, I didn't notice that there were any must-watch movies this time of year. Then again, I didn't watch too many movies or TV while over there. If any of my German readers would care to cue me in on what seasonal movies you watch, I'd be happy to know about them! Bitte, schreibt in den Kommentaren, wenn ihr irgendwelche Weihnachtsfilmen kennt, die jeder Deutsche mal gesehen hat! Da würde ich mich freuen!




Bis morgen!
