There are a lot of good Christmas movies and this is one of the things I like best about the holiday season. Some movies are new and some are considered classics and been around for years. As a kid I would always watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman every year. As I got a little older I started to like the movie A Christmas Story. I think this is my all time favorite Christmas movie and I love how TNT or TBS will usually show this movie all day long on Christmas Day. I will watch it more than once usually and this movie never gets old. If you have never seen A Christmas Story this is one Christmas movie you should really sit down and watch this year.

There are a lot more Christmas movies that I like to watch each year. It’s a Wonderful Life is one of the classics and this movie has been around for a long time. It seems it and the Miracle on 34th Street have been around for ages and most of our grandparents were watching these movies when they were younger.

It’s almost like a tradition for some families to see a certain Christmas movie each year. Every family has their own favorite movie to watch each year. Since there are so many good Christmas movies, many families have different ones that they will refer to as their traditional Christmas movie.

There are some new movies that people have started to make new traditions with. I know Home Alone is a good Christmas movie and it has 3 or 4 series you can watch. I’m a big Chevy Chase fan and I love all of the Vacation movies. The one Chevy Chase did that is called Christmas Vacation is really one of the better Christmas movies that is out there today. This movie reminds me a lot of my family and how they use to gather for these big family dinners on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. We don’t do it that much anymore and I missed those days of where our extended families got together and would share the Christmas spirit. Christmas Vacation was made in 1989, so this is the 20th anniversary to this great Christmas movie. It’s not been around as long as some Christmas movies, but I think it will hold up over the years and be a traditional Christmas movie for some families. I still consider Christmas Vacation one of the newer movies that is out there.

What are some of the Christmas movies you like to watch with your family each year? Is there a specific program that comes on during the holidays that you like to see? I know the Statler Brothers Christmas Special was always a fun thing to watch. I did see the Statler Brothers last year on RFDTV or Rural TV. I’m not sure if it’s coming on this year or not, but if you have Rural TV; then you can check their program listings. Be sure to let me know your favorite Christmas movies and which ones you liked best as a child.
