National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation And 9 Other Christmas Movies To Kick Off The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

In This Article:

The most wonderful time of year is (almost) here! That means right after finals the Christmas movies can kick off your long Christmas vacation. But with so many out there how are you suppose to know what the best is? No worries, I have you covered. On a side note, however, most of these will be light-hearted comedies because, in my opinion, those are the best!

1. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964)

This claymation film is sweet and fun! You can't help but fall in love with Rudolph and all of the other reindeer all over again after watching this movie!

2. Christmas with the Kranks

Ohhhh yes. This comedy will have you rolling. A good one to get you in the Christmas spirit early in December!

3. Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

Yes I know we all think of Mickey as being a child's movie star. But you have to give this movie credit where credit is due. I always appreciate a movie from my old childhood favorites. So fun to watch!

4. The Santa Claus

This movie will have you thinking "... wait, what if my dad is Santa... NAH" But still, this movie is so fun!

5. The Santa Claus 3

The Escape Claus. This movie will give you an appreciation for Christmas as well as having a fun plot twist, dysfunctional family and yet still so full of love! Tim Allen sure does have a knack for Christmas movies!!

6. Home Alone

This movie is literally timeless. I am convinced I will be showing my kids this movie one day to kick-start their love for Christmas.

7. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Jim Carey's Grinch. That Grinch. Hands down. Do not argue.

8. The Polar Express

I can remember watching this movie at my parent's house with hot chocolate all cozy in a blanket. Something about this movie just brings out your inner child, which, in my opinion, is the best when it comes to Christmas. Having your inner child explode is the best way to get you in the Christmas spirit.

9. Elf

Anything Will Ferrell is in, I want to see. This Classic is the trademark of Christmas meme's, countdowns, jokes, anything else you can think of. It was a close contender for first... however the next one has it beat.

10. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This is the ULTIMATE Christmas comedy. This will get you right in the spirit throughout the process of family coming and going and the painful questions about life that are no doubt going to put a damper on your spirit. This movie will fix all the above.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
