Christmas is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Christmas time is my favorite time of the year! Nothing gets me in the spirit better than movie night -- a DVD holiday movie, hot chocolate, popcorn, and curling up on the sofa with my hubby and our two cats. Come share the Christmas spirit with these holiday favorites!

While you're visiting Squidoo, why not visit the Best Ever Christmas Movie voting lens?

White Christmas

The quintessential holiday story

The classic story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy wins girl back - all in a holiday setting with plenty of musical fun. Starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen, this 1954 favorite tells the story of two Army buddies who reach the pinnacle show biz success but lack only one thing - a dame! Every cast member is at their best: Bing and Rosemary croon, Danny and Vera-Ellen dance their hearts out, and Mary Wickes manages to throw the entire crew into a spin. Here are several versions for your home viewing enjoyment:

It's a Wonderful Life

Can a wayward angel save George?

Back when I was a teenager, I remember waiting all year for the chance to see "It's a Wonderful Life." Our local TV station played it every Christmas eve. How delightful that now we can watch it every day, thanks to the wonders of DVDs!

Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a man with a wonderful face but plagued by the frustrations of small town life. Donna Reed is his patient, loving wife, and Lionel Barrymore is the town bully who makes George's life intolerable. One Christmas eve, George is overwhelmed by dispair and Clarence the angel is sent to convince him that life is worth living.

A Christmas Carol

One story - A Thousand Readings

Charles Dickens first published "A Christmas Carol" on December 19, 1843, to quickly raise money to pay off a debt. It was an instant success and it credited with reviving Christmas traditions in its time. That success has been repeated again and again throughout the decades. Here are my favorite video versions.

The Best Christmas Movie

I'm still searching for a DVD movie that tells (or includes) the story of the nativity. Somewhere, deep inside my memories, I have recollections of such movies but I can't recall the names or any details. Do you know a movie (not animated) that includes some element of the Christmas story? Please share, and I'll add it to the list. Merry Christmas!
