With the holiday season in full swing, one of the best ways to get into the spirit is by watching a classic Christmas movie. It's a great way to share a special bonding experience with family members as we all gather around and enjoy some festive fun. Watching a memorable Christmas film can provide laughter and inspiration, as well as create lasting memories for everyone involved.
Christmas time is one of our favorite times of the year, and it's not just because of the festive decorations and delicious treats; it's also because we get to watch our favorite Christmas movie with our family! Dee says, “Every year, without fail, we all gather around the tv for a fun and cozy Holiday movie watching session. It's a special feeling knowing that we have this tradition that we can look forward to each holiday season. Watching the movies is always a good time with our sons that is filled with laughter, joy, and nostalgia.”
Dee’s favorite Christmastime movie is Elf. It stars Will Ferrell as Buddy, an elf who travels to New York City to find his true identity. As a result of his journey, he brings joy and laughter to his newfound family and friends throughout the city. The character of Buddy is so lovable and hilarious that Bre says she can’t help but smile whenever she watches it.
“His wild antics make me laugh until tears are streaming down my face, like when he’s excited about Santa’s arrival at the department store but finds out it’s not the Santa he knows! His enthusiasm for life and love for everyone around him makes me want to do something special for others during the holiday season too."
For Shane, he loves to settle down in front of the TV with a warm cup of hot chocolate. “For me, this is one of my most treasured holiday activities. Every year when I watch my favorite Christmas movie, it immediately brings back memories from childhood and all the wonderful moments I’ve shared with my family over the years.”
The Santa Clause is one of Shane’s favorite movies of all time. “When I watch this movie with my two sons, it brings me so much joy and laughter.” The story follows Scott Calvin, an average father who one day wakes up in the morning to realize that he has taken on the responsibility of being Santa Clause. This was after he had accidentally caused old Saint Nick’s demise while trying to fix his roof one Christmas Eve. It's such a funny concept that never gets old! The way Scott tries to adjust himself into this strange new role is comical and inspiring at the same time. It teaches us valuable lessons about believing in yourself and trusting your instincts despite all the obstacles you might come across in life. All these lessons make The Santa Clause even more enjoyable for me each time I watch it!
The interns, Moose and Lulu also have their favorite Christmas movie. Can you guess what it is? If you said, “Santa Buddies” then you got it right! The movie follows five golden retriever pups who discover that they have special abilities granted by Santa himself. These pups must work together to stop an evil toy factory owner from ruining the holiday season. The message of friendship, courage and loyalty really stands out in this movie.
What better way to spend quality time with family this holiday season than watching classic Christmas movies together? Movies seem to have the ability to bring us closer and create a sense of warmth and comfort that can only be found at the holidays. For many families, gathering around the tv to watch a beloved Christmas movie is an important part of their holiday celebration. Whether it’s a lighthearted comedy or an emotional drama, there’s something special about watching your favorite Christmas movie as a family.
