I love this movie. It is the story of Emmet and his mother. They are poor otters that are just trying to make it day by day. Mother washes clothes and Emmet works odd jobs. During the holiday season this year the town has a Christmas pageant with a prize of $50.00. Emmet and his mother enter without the other one knowing it. They both hope to win and give the other a present for the holiday. Emmet puts a hole in his mother's wash tub to do it and his mother hacks Emmet's tools to make a dress for the pageant. The story tells about how family needs one another and that even when you think you lost, you have actually one.
My brother and I used to watch this movie every Christmas. I own it on VHS and DVD. I make sure to watch it every year and remember my brother and I together. :-D

This is my favorite Muppet movie. It is the retelling of Charles Dickson's Christmas Carol. I just love this movie. I think Michael Caine does an amazing job as Mr. Scrooge. If you watch this movie make sure you get the extended movie with the song sung by Scrooge's true love. It is an amazing song and to many times they leave it off of the TV when it is aired.
I do have to say the best part of this movie is...
He just makes me happy to watch the movie. :-D

I am a huge Danny Kaye fan and this is one of my favorites with him. The story is:
After leaving the Army after W.W.II, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis team up to become a top song-and-dance act. Davis plays matchmaker and introduces Wallace to a pair of beautiful sisters (Betty and Judy) who also have a song-and-dance act. When Betty and Judy travel to a Vermont lodge to perform a Christmas show, Wallace and Davis follow, only to find their former commander, General Waverly, is the lodge owner. A series of romantic mix-ups ensue as the performers try to help the General.
My mom got me into this movie one year and I have watched it ever since. I just love the music and every thing about it. Its a classic so if you get a chance check it out.

I really shouldn't have to explain this one. If you haven't seen it then you should smack yourself and go watch it now. This is an amazing Dr. Seuss book and movie. This movie is another I watched with my brother. I made sure it was passed on to my children. The live action is really good, but this classic is still the best.

Another blast from the past, but is still timeless. I love the story behind this movie. Charlie Brown cartoons are great and I just love this one. The movie is about the Peanuts putting on a Christmas pageant and Charlie Brown getting a tree that no one likes. I think it is wonderful to watch.

I only just started watching this one. My mom doesn't like it, but I think it is great. It really does teach you that there is a reason you are here. I think it is really a nice classic movie to watch. No matter what my mom says. LOL. The movie is about George Bailey and his life. It starts out with him saving his brother and goes from there. It is a timeless tale and shows that when you are down and out you really aren't. If you are a good person that others are good to you.

A Christmas classic for all times. All Raphy wants is a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas. The whole movie is his adventures up till Christmas day. I love this movie. The main character Ralphy is such a sweetheart. I love this timeless tale. Luckily I get to watch it every year because TNT plays it all day Christmas.

This is one version of who Santa Clause is how he came to be. I think it is a cute little way of telling kids who Santa was and gives one version of the legend for Kris Kringle. I love the older Christmas children movies like this. This one and this one...
#9.
are my all time favorites. This one is about how Santa thinks the children have lost the meaning of Christmas and doesn't care anymore. So he decides to take the time off and the children now have to make Santa understand that they do believe in something more than themselves. Rudolph is good, but I really like these two the best.

This is the story of a boy that doesn't believe in Santa anymore. One night he takes a magical train ride and find out the true spirit of Christmas. Not sure if I will be watching this one this year without crying. I watched this movie because of my sister/soulmate Nicolette. Her boys and her used to watch it every year. With this being the 1 year mark of her untimely death I don't think I can watch it without thinking of her and her boys.

I love Mr. Magoo and this is one of my favorites. The music is wonderful to listen to and once again the story is one to think about.
#12.
Another version of a classic tale, but still one to watch again and again. I just love Scrooge McDuck in this movie. Plus Goofy as Marley cracks me up. LOL.

Doesn't have to be Christmas for me to watch this movie, but we do watch it during the season. :-D The movie is about Jack the Pumpkin King and how he feels like something is missing. That is until he discovers Christmas Town and wants it for his own. The whole family loves this movie. It has helped all 3 of my boys fall asleep at night when they have been having trouble sleeping. I love the story and how much Sally loves Jack. I wish they would make another one of this one. :-D

This is a cute little cartoon and I watch it every time it comes on. The story is about a little mouse that writes a letter to Santa telling him that his town didn't believe in Santa anymore. So Santa returns all the letters the children wrote. The rest of the story is the town trying to show Santa that they do believe in him. It is a wonderful movie.

This is my newest movie. I have watched it at least 4 times since we got it. Jim Carrey did an awesome job in this movie and really captured the true Charles Dickson's story. At times the movie is creepy and def not for kids, but over all it is wonderfully done and has now become a movie we will watch over and over again at our house.
So that is my movie list. :-D
