5 Special Christmas Movies for Your Holiday Season

Top 5 xmas movies to watch

One of the greatest joys of the holiday season for my family is watching the Christmas Movies together.  When the weather begins to turn cold, we dig out the Christmas decorations, the folder with all of the Christmas recipes, and the big, green popcorn bowl and special Christmas hot cocoa mugs!

Each of us has their own favorite movies and each year new ones are introduced.  When a movie is scheduled, we all settle down in the family room, with a fire going in the fireplace, and enjoy the movie and our time together.

Here is a list of some of the movies we have enjoyed in recent years:

1.  MIRACLE ON 34th STREET - the original version (1947) with Maureen O’Hara, Natalie Wood and Edmund Gwenn.  Santa Claus is hired by Macy’s to be their in-store Santa and no one believes him when he tells them he is the real Santa Claus.  So, he goes to Court to prove his identity.

5.  THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS – This movie is an interesting story about Santa Claus’ early life.  The immortal citizens who live in the forest of Burzee have gathered to decide the fate of Santa Claus – whether he is to remain mortal or be given eternal life.  A wizard named Ak found him abandoned in the forest when he was a baby and he was brought up by the people of the forest in an environment of peace.  Ak shows him the mortal world full of misery and unhappiness, and Santa decides to make all the little children happy by giving them toys each year.
