Hey Bubbleheads,
Its that time of year again when we get to watch the old time classics of all our favourite Christmas Movies. The run up to Christmas means that every Saturday night a Christmas movie is played on the old t.v set and so far some of my favourites have been played already and I feel like a little kid again lol. It also gives us the chance to put the feet up and snuggle into the sofa,switch the lights off and have a big old blazing fire going while we sipping on a big mug of hot chocolate. The one thing I can say is we never get tired of them. So this gave me the opportunity to let you know my Top 5 all time favourite Christmas movies :)).
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: My sister and I just love this film,it has great one-liners in it. This holiday season Clarke Griswold vows his clan will enjoy "the most fun-filled family Christmas ever." This film is just so funny with the house decked out in Christmas lights,an exploding turkey on the dining room table. A swat team taking siege outside and a squirrel running around in the tree,its to me and my sister the funniest Christmas film ever.
Stars: Chevy Chase,Beverly D'Angelo,Randy Quaid,Juliette Lewis.

Santa Claus: This is a fantasy family comedy film. When Scott Calvin an ordinary man who accidentally causes Santa Claus to fall to his death from his roof on Christmas Eve. When he and his young son Charlie finish Santa trip and deliveries,they go to the North Pole where Scott learns he must become the new Santa and convince those he loves that he indeed is Father Christmas. There is two more sequels to the Santa Claus franchise but personally they are not as great as the original but then again its more for the little kids,so they will enjoy them more.
Stars: Tim Allen

Scrooged: This is a 1988 American modernisation comedy film,its a take on Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. Scrooge is a cynical selfish TV executive. He found great success and wealth but only by becoming cold-hearted and cruel. With that he gets haunted by three spirits,Past,Present and of course Future bearing lessons for him on Christmas Eve. Funnily enough this film gets played on the t.v. box on Christmas Eve night. Did you know that Bill Murray brothers also appear in this film.
Stars: Bill Murray,Karen Allen.
