Recently, I have had mixed feelings about the over exaggerated hype of the Christmas season. I feel the true meaning of Christmas is lost in today’s commercialized and self-involved world. Not to mention, for the past 4 years I have spent the month of December cramming for college finals. This resulted in a lack of participation in Christmas festivities and some carelessness. Even when I attempted to enjoy the season I was always distracted. For example, last year my roommates and I visited the Yankee Candle Factory where we spent over two hours exploring the store. For the entire two hours I not only left my keys in my car in the parking lot but, I left my car running. If that’s not winning I don’t know what is.
This year is the first time in that I have been home for the month of December. Being home allows me time to bake cookies, decorate the house and watch some of my favorite holiday movies. Without fail, certain holiday movies continue to inject me with the holiday spirit. The movies I watch at Christmas time make me thankful, grateful and joyful for my friends and family.
Below I have a list of my favorite holiday movies:
1. The Santa Clause
2. Elf
3. A Christmas Story
4. Love Actually
5. White Christmas
6. A Charlie Brown’s Christmas
7. Santa Claus is Coming to Town
8. Scrooged
9. Santa and the Three Bears
10. It’s a Wonderful Life
