Countdown to Christmas

I think I may have old taste because my favorite movies for Christmas are black and white. But we'll start with some of the other must see during the holidays:

#10

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

The Cartoon. Although, I do love the Jim Carrey one, I am an original fan.

#9

Home Alone

I have never seen the others. This one is perfect for Christmas because of the ending. I wish all families could be together at Christmas time. 

#8

The Family Stone

An amazing cast and story centered around Christmas and a liberal mother. It makes me laugh and cry and feel embarrassed. Oh. how I love that! And Luke Wilson.

#7

Met Me In St. Louis

This one's pretty obvious. I have to watch this one with my sister Margie though. She makes me miss her if I watch this so I won't without her by my side!

#6

The Santa Claus

Great film about family that makes me envy families.

#5

Borrowed Hearts

I have watched this every year, growing up, with my mom and I still watch it every year. It's a little cheesy, but I love it. And it's a love story. Hard to beat that.

#4

Gift of Love

This is an older movie with Marie Osmund when she was like 18. I love it so much. It's one movie that makes it feel like Christmas and reminds me of my brother. I miss him so much. He was in the stage version of this and did amazing!

#3

Lemon Drop Kid

If you haven't heard of this movie, don't feel bad it's a Bob Hope movie. It does have one of the best Christmas songs of all times in it though called "Silver Bells".

#2 

Miracle on 34th Street 

I know there are other versions but really there is only one true one. You could remake this movie with some great actors and young child stars but no one could imitate the perfection of Natalie Woods as a young girl too smart for Santa, to a girl who loved trusted and believed in others.

#1 

It's a Wonderful Life

I will fight anyone who doesn't have this on their list. And if they haven't seen it, educate them. Now it may be black and white and slightly dated but the lesson and morale of this movie will outlive us all. And I love the ending so much it gets me every year.

Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward men.

Merry Christmas
