As a jew, Christmas movies can be incredibly annoying. The lack of Hanukkah films don't help. However, there are several movies that, despite the Chritmas connection, never fail to make me enjoy the season a little better.
4. The Holiday
A great romantic comedy that only briefly delves into the Christmas connection, this movie is undoubtedly a holiday hater's dream. However, the emphasis on the Christmas values of love, family and generosity make this a fabulous holiday movie for everyone.
3. Elf
An unapologetic comedy that follows one of Santa's elves who becomes lost in the big city. This movie is so funny even scrooges like myself can't help loving it. The elf is determined to bring Christmas spirit back to the people of New York. A hilarious story that just might bring holiday lovers and haters together.
2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
A movie about someone who hates Christmas more than we do? Bring it on! Plus, it is based on a classic holiday tale written by Dr. Seuss. This story has a happy ending that will warm the hearts of all. Both lovers and haters of Christmas.
1. Nightmare Before Christmas
While Jack had good intentions, he destroyed Christmas and the good cheer that goes along with it. The best part is the kidnapping of Santa!
Happy holidays!
