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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
