THE CLASSICS
When I'm in the mood for nostalgia I go for one of these favorite classic movies...
Christmas In Connecticut
White Christmas
Miracle On 34th Street
It's A Wonderful Life
Little Women
The Modern Era
When I'm in the mood for a modern take and some good Christmas eyecandy I watch one of these...
A Christmas Story
The Santa Clause 1&2
Home Alone 1&2
Mrs. Clause
Love Actually
Polar Express
Smokey Mountain Christmas
This Christmas
The Funnies
When a Christmas giggle is in order I go for one of these...
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Christmas With The Kranks
Deck The Halls
Elf
The Bad Bad Christmas Indulgance...
Bad Santa
Okay. I admit it. I occasionally watch this grubby, but somehow pathetically funny piece of Christmas cheer. Billy Bob is just too good at playing this drunken loser Santa. I don't know why, maybe I should be ashamed of myself.
Honorable Mention
Four Christmases
Now I am generally a cheerful person, but rarely does anything make me laugh out loud (other than the Man Cub), especially not movies. However Four Christmases has a scene where a baby spits up all over Reece Whitherspoon, it's what you would call projectile spit up. If you're not expecting it, and even when you are, it is TOO TOO funny. Vince Vaughn's reaction is just as hilarious and cracks me up every time.
It's priceless in my opinion. The rest of the movie has some other funny moments but some sad
ones too, mirroring the modern day split family/separate Christmases.

Now do you see what I mean about just choosing one? How could I possibly. It might have something to do with being a Gemini and having split personalities. If I absolutely HAD to choose one and only one movie to watch it would probably be A Christmas Story. I just can't resist Ralphie.
And he's in PINK.
Happy Pink Saturday and thank you Beverly for hosting! You can find all the pink participants at
How Sweet The Sound. Join us for the pink party and Happy Holidays!

Great post...I con't think I have a fav...except when I was young...The Wizzard of OZ was a Holiday Stable!!!
Clap, clap, clap...I feel like I've been to the movies with you!
My dear Sares, you've been with me through my whole history of blogging and above all, I appreciate your kindness and your cheerleader spirit. I needed that pick me up! Did you see the comment an anonymous person left me today? It was well spoken of a orge and what I thought was ugly, turned out kind.
Shaking off the snow...it felt a bit like an avalanche.
Onward we go...Dancer, Prancer and Vixin!
Hey Sareski!

Sares thanks for your Christmas Movie library. I'm sure it will come in handy. You made me think of many I had not. I love National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation! Merry Christmas Terri

Yep! You picked all the good ones!! Some of my faves are on the Hallmark channel too....The Christmas Card, Christmas in Cannan, etc...
Merry Pink Christmas!!
Those are all great movies. I love the classics the most. But the new ones too. When I was a little girl... a million years ago. I stuck my tongue on a frozen swing set. I was able to breath it unthawed. Ha!

Ralphie is pink and the perfect choice for Pink Saturday. It is my favorite holiday movie and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary
Hi Sares,
Thank you for sharing all your favourite Christmas movies.
Always so neat to sit down and watch a movie that gives you a warm and happy feeling.
You can't beat National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, for a laugh.

Great choices! And I love that you included a photo of poor Ralphie in his "pink nightmare" outfit! LOL Hope you enjoyed your Pink Saturday! Theresa
Cute post, cousin! I love all your movie favorites. Just watched It's A Wonderful Life last night, and then going to start Love Actually right now. Do you have A Smoky Mountain Christmas, if so can I borrow it? I don't think I've seen that one.
