best [christmas] movies

I'm very excited to go see It's a Wonderful Life tonight for an ArcLight Presentation with my mom, sister, aunt, and two cousins. Not only is the ArcLight super enjoyable (assigned seating in cozy seats, better concessions, a cocktail and coffee bar, etc. etc.) but to see a classic holiday movie on the big screen...yay!

With Christmas 6 days away you must have lots of wrapping left to do so here is a list of movies that you can put on, grab a glass of hot cider, and sit amongst the glow of your tree while you relish in this amazing season.

When I was younger I loved watching...

Home Alone

The Santa Clause

A Christmas Story

Frosty the Snowman

It's A Wonderful Life

Miracle on 34th Street

A Charlie Brown Christmas

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Since they came out, I've loved watching...

Elf

the Holiday
(watched it last night with a brownie straight from the oven with seasonal peppermint ice cream on top!) 

Love Actually

the Family Stone

Enjoy!

best [love] movie

"The best love is the kind that weakens the soul and makes us reach for more. That plants a fire in our heats and brings peace to our minds." 

[from one of Noah's letters to Allie]

The Notebook is no new movie but it never gets old. Every time I watch it I cry, laugh, and fall in love with love all over again. It blows me away how good Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are in this movie. They are so good that it is easy to forget that they are acting. And, it doesn't hurt that they are hot together. 

Proof: 

All this to say that if you haven't seen it in a while, well, you definitely should. Especially during this month of love!
