Hey everyone, I am currently out Black Friday shopping right now, that's the great thing about scheduling a post that you wrote a week prior to today. I know I said I was taking a blog break for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and I am, because I wrote this on 11/21 - booyah!
Now that Christmas time is truly here...here's a list for you to enjoy:
Christmas Movie Countdown
Now that Christmas time is truly here...here's a list for you to enjoy:
Christmas Movie Countdown
Annually I make lists that revolve around Christmas, more specifically, things to do each night counting down the days until Christmas. I've always enjoyed ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas, however this year I have decided to make my own because there are so many great Christmas movies out there that ABC does not show.
Here is a countdown for me and my family broken down in different categories that I love:
Romantic Christmas Movies
1 - The Holiday
I was in love with this movie from the first time that I ever saw it. I'm not going to lie, after watching, I seriously did research on swapping homes overseas just like they did in the movie. Obviously that never happened, but I still think it would be an amazing experience!
2 - Three Days

Three Days is a made for TV movie that (in my personal opinion) could have been a movie in theaters. I look forward to watching this movie every Christmas season. Without giving out too many spoilers, it's about a couple who are on the verge of a divorce when fate intervenes during the Christmas Holiday. This usually comes on Hallmark - so keep a lookout for it and set your DVRs!
3 - The Family Stone
I will tell you, this movie is not for everyone. One of my sisters loved it, the other one hated it. The hubs cannot stand this movie. I on the other hand love it because it portrays a real life scenario, not everything in this movie is picture perfect, and Dermot Mulroney is easy on the eyes too!
Christmas in New York
If you've followed me for a while now, then you probably know my love for New York. Any film, whether Christmas or not, that is based out of New York I love, however Christmas in New York, those are some great movies!
4 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Granted this movie isn't really a Christmas movie, the timing they met and fell in love is Christmas, plus it's in New York. It's on my Christmas movie list!
Vince Vaughn Christmas Movies
Vince Vaughn is both mine and my husband's favorite actor. He is downright hilarious and all our favorite movies have him in it.
6 - Four Christmases
I will say that I anticipated this movie so much that when I first saw it, it was a bit of a let down. I think that Reese Witherspoon is a great actress, and as stated above I love VV movies. The more that I watch this though, the more I do enjoy this movie and it's definitely got some funny parts worth watching for. If you're a country fan, it has Tim McGraw in it as well - holla!
7 - Fred Clause
8 - Beauty & the Beast: An Enchanted Christmas
It's no secret that Cadence's favorite princess is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She's liked her ever since she was aware of what a princess was and couldn't wait to meet her on our trip to Disney World. I personally thought she'd love Sleeping Beauty due to her long pink ball gown, but nope, Belle it was! She must get it naturally though because I remember Belle being my personal favorite when I was growing up.
This usually airs on the Disney channel closer to Christmas - check your local listings, especially if you have a little Princess of your own. She'll love it!
Family Movies
Family movies are the best because it doesn't matter the age, each member of the family will enjoy watching it!
I just watched this movie for the first time last year and oh my tears. So emotional, in a good way. It lifts your spirits and truly shows you the real meaning behind Christmas.
10 / 11 / 12 - Santa Clause 1 / 2 / 3

I enjoy each and every one of these movies. Obviously the original is the best, but the sequels are just as enjoyable to watch.
13 - A Muppets Christmas Carol

I have never seen this movie until I started dating the hubs. It's been an annual tradition ever since. This year it's actually going to be played at the famous Lucas Theater in downtown Savannah, so we're definitely going to schedule that into our Christmas calendar!
Rarely do the hubs and I like similar movies. We can watch and enjoy the same TV shows all day long, but movies are a completely different story, however we both enjoy this movie. It's got such a great message in it. Family is Everything!
15 - Jingle All the Way
 |

I love this Christmas movie because it's unlike any other out there. It's basically two men who have sons, and their sons want this toy that is sold out everywhere. This pretty much pays tribute to Black Friday lovers everywhere!
Christmas Comedies
16 - National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
One of my personal favorites...if you haven't seen this yet, what are you waiting for?!
17 - Deck the Halls
18 - Christmas with the Kranks

One of my all time favorites. There are so many parts in this movie that I could focus on and make myself laugh out loud, but I'll let you watch it for yourself. Again, if you haven't seen this...get to a TV now!
Christmas Classics
These are the original movies that started out when our parents were growing up. The ones that if you don't watch, then you don't really feel like it's Christmas!
20 - How the Grinch Stole Christmas

My favorite classic. I will put this on my DVR and we will watch it at least 3x during December. By the end of the Christmas I can recite most of the lines...sad but true.
Adding to My List
Between Hallmark, ABC, CBS, and every other station, there are several new Christmas movies each year. Granted this movie isn't new, it's new to me because I have never seen it, but have heard from several people that it's great, plus it has Hugh Grant in it! This is on my list of movies to watch this season...have you seen it?
25 - Love Actually
