With the long holiday approaching, it is time to sit back and have a grand family time. Schools are closed, universities are on break, offices are in holiday mode, and to top it off, it is Christmas! Why not spend this time by watching (or re-watching) some all-time favourite Christmas themed movies.
Here is a list of five must watch all-time favourite Christmas movies to watch these holidays:
1. Home Alone is a traditional movie that has been watched hundreds of times by everyone. The trilogy is a good option to have continuous laughs for three consecutive days, if you are willing to watch them on separate days, or all at once if you’re brave. The first two parts are the best and the most loved, starring Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCullister, while the third part has a different protagonist named Alex D. Linz as Alex Pruitt. All three parts tell the story of the naughty boy left behind by family during the Christmas holiday, and how this boy overcomes two burglars and saves their house.
2. A Christmas Carol is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ famous novel by the same name. There have been multiple adaptations over the last century, but this movie from 2009 has been made as a 3D animation starring Jim Carrey. The story is about about a miserly man who thinks everyone and everything is a humbug. One day, he is taken out on a journey to his past, present, and future life by three ghosts, that may change his bitter attitude towards life.
3. A Christmas Story talks about a young boy with glasses (and hopes) trying to get rid of a bully boy, and wanting a “Red Rider Air Rifle” as his ultimate Christmas gift. This hilarious movie was set back in 1983, and it shows how this boy survives his Christmas holiday!
4. In this 2011 film, Arthur Christmas, Santa’s youngest son, is out there to save the day. How? Santa, using a very high-tech system to deliver gifts to every child on Earth, forgets about one child. It is up to Arthur now to make that child happy before it is Christmas dawn!
5. Elf is a hilarious mix-up about a young child who was accidentally transported to the North Pole, and raised among Santa’s elves. Since he could not fit into their world, he travelled to New York, an adult in Elf’s clothes, and searched for his true identity.
Now that you have your list of Christmas movies, hopefully, some of your time will be spend having good laughs with your family at home, without boringly killing time!
