Christmas Traditions: part 1

So I said that I would be posting some of our family traditions over the next few days, so here is the first one.

Movies:
My family has several movies that are clearly marked for Christmas ONLY, and we watch them in the few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas day. I thought I would share the list with you, and while we have watched these, I want to say that we have a TV Guardian (it takes out any bad or dirty language that might be in the movie, I HIGHLY recommend it for every family). And I rarely ever "recommend" a movie to anyone, because every family has their own standards and preferences for movies and I wouldn't want to offend anyone with these. But overall these are family friendly movies and probably you all have seen most of them :)

Favorites that we have been watching for as long as I can remember...

• It's a Wonderful Life
• Miracle on 34th Street
• Charlie Brown Christmas (I think this is my favorite!)

Others that have become favorites over the last few years...

• Elf
• Polar Express
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas
• Home Alone 1,2, and 3
• A Christmas Carol

And a new favorite that we added just this year that I will recommend... :)

• The Nativity Story... This one was so good and I think it will quickly become my favorite. It was very well made and followed the biblical account almost perfectly. I have never seen such a moving portrayal of the birth of our Lord, if you haven't seen it then I will recommend this one and say "Watch it!".

Do y'all have any other movies that you love to watch this time of the year? Let me know!

Merry Christmas!
