The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.
1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."
"Santa Claus Is Comin To Town" (1970)
"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."
"The Polar Express" (2004)
"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."
"Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" (1992)
"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."
"The Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992)
"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."
"Love Actually" (2003)
"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989)
"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"
"How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (1966)
