My favorite thing about the holidays besides all the lights and Christmas decorations is definitely the movies. There's nothing I love more than sitting on my couch over winter break and watching endless Christmas movies. Here are five of my favorite holiday movies I'm looking forward to watching this season:
1. A Charlie Brown Christmas
All the Charlie Brown holiday specials are my favorite, but the Christmas special will always be the best one out of them all. This one is so cute and is all about Charlie Brown and how he is depressed during this holiday season. He doesn't understand what Christmas is all about and thought the movie Linus and his friends try to explain what the meaning of Christmas.
2. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
This one is a classic, definitely one of my favorites. It's a hilarious family movie, The Griswold's are just trying to have a "good old-fashioned family Christmas". This movie follows the Griswold's and all their crazy family members in their pursuit to a good Christmas, through the bickering at the dinner table, Clark not getting his Christmas bonus, in the end they realize that they had a good Christmas after all.
3. The Polar Express
This movie is also a family friendly Christmas movie, it follows a boy, Billy who gets on this magical train called the "Polar Express" that takes them to the North Pole to see Santa Clause. On this journey, Billy meets a bunch of kids and some of them leave the train and try to make it back in time to meet Santa Clause.
4. Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer
This is one of my favorites as well, I really like old Christmas movies, and this is one of the originals. A snowman narrates the story of Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer. Rudolph's father is ashamed of his son's nose so they cover it up so that Rudolph can participate in the reindeer games. Rudolph runs in the woods and meets up with Hermey and they both find out that they're unique. The story follows the, now grown up Rudolph in saving his parents and Clarice from the Abominable Snowman.
5. Elf
Elf is always a favorite for everyone, Will Ferrell, who plays Buddy the Elf, lives at the North Pole, but is on a mission to find his dad. When Buddy finds his dad, his dad is not convinced that this "man" is his child. Buddy spends a lot of time in the "real world" and finds out a lot of things about it, he also falls for a girl that he "works" with. Buddy also tries to convince everyone that Santa Clause is in fact real and tries to convince everyone that his slay won't move unless people believe.
