Holiday Special

Because clearly I haven't  done enough already...
But Christmas is a DAY AWAY SO WHY NOT JUST ONE MORE ??


Ya'll know at this point how much Yab loves film, so how about some Christmas movies?!
Yay!

Ok here 10 of my favorites, not in any particular order:

1. Love Actually
If you know me... you know how completely obsessed I am with this movie.


2. Christmas Story
Although Love Actually is one of my most raved about Christmas films, A Christmas Story definitely is my favorite. I've spending Christmas with Ralphie for as long as I can remember.

3. Prep and Landing 
So this one's not really a movie, it's better. It's only about half an hour and it's totally punny. It's a cartoon and it's absolutely adorable! Mary is the one that introduced me to this- obviously- and it's tradition we quoted it as much as possible come the holiday season.

AND this year they came out with a second one! Prep and Landing: Naughty Vs. Nice

4. A Wonderful Life

My mother and I are currently watching this film. Mary Beth thinks this is not the best of Christmas films... "Wonderful life? Who likes this movie? THIS IS NOT A WONDERFUL LIFE!" Thanks MB. But now that Clarence, the guardian angel, is on the screen she's smiling and really enjoying it.
It's a total staple and it teaches us a lesson too, like all good holiday films should.
Don't forget to listen for the bells this holiday.


5. Home Alone 2
This ones not only one of my favorite Christmas movies but just one of my favorites! So the fact that it takes place in New York during the holidays is just awesome!

6. The Santa Clause 

Every family has their Christmas movie. For me and my brothers, this is ours. This is the very first Christmas movie I watched this year and every year.

7. Polar Express 
This is my tear jerker for the holidays. Ugh it's just too cute to die for. And who didn't read this book as a kid? Super well done and super cute. Sold.
I still hear the bells.



8. Elf
Will Ferrel as a giant Elf from the North Pole... Who couldn't love that? Throw in some family dramas and finding the meaning of Christmas and BAM that as instant a win as instant Hot Coco.

9. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Classic. Not much else to say but that.


10. Bad Santa
Bad Santa is just Bad. It's the one naughty film were allowed to enjoy! Because it's about christmas! #veryfunny #verynaughty


Honorable Mention: Black Christmas
It's Christmases only [successful] horror film... Not that Christmas ever needed one to begin with...
Never seen it, too scared, but if your into that kinda thing check it out. (the original)
freaky... 

SorrythatI'mnotsorry if I didn't include your favorite. These are some of mine.
