A Charlie Brown Christmas

I think my favorite Christmas movie is of course the timeless A Charlie Brown Christmas. The whole story is special in every way. Here is a a character, Charlie Brown, who is scorned by friends and family alike. He is a perpetual loser but he keeps trying. Despite being called a blockhead and being taunted he continues undaunted in his task to find the best Christmas Tree ever. Linus’ speech on the true meaning of Christmas is the most special part of the show. I also love the music throughout the show and always think of that as the Peanuts music. We even used that in our wedding. The scenes where everyone is goofing off and dancing are also fantastic. I just love the dances and snoopy strumming the base. What better Christmas movie is there?

The Grinch

Sometimes you want to feel like The Grinch and sometimes you want to sing with the Whos down in Whoville. Who doesn’t love Max the dog? The original animated movie is far superior to the Jim Carey live action one. It is such a fantastic Christmas classic. The ride down the mountain with the gifts all loaded up is one of my favorite parts. I just love all the fun things that are found down in Whoville. Such a wonderful movie to watch during Christmas.
