I'm Dreaming...

Of a White Christmas. I admit it. I'm thinking about Christmas. It started with having to commencing planning for holiday events for work at the beginning of October. It's hard to search for snowflake clipart and come up with catchy little names for my flyers related to the holidays and NOT start singing the tunes. So today K, a few of her family members and I settled down to watch White Christmas. Best. Christmas. Movie. Ever. You may argue that Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life is the best movie ever, but I am here to tell you, you're wrong. White Christmas has it all. Snappy songs. Tear jerker moments with the General. Bing Crosby (in my opinion, Bing Crosby is a requisite for The Best Christmas Movie). In chatting with a friend, I discovered that there is a title I could hold that I have neglected earning, which his mother wears as a proud badge. Better than Cat Lady, even. The Christmas Movie Lady. No, you can't have it, I saw it first.

Here's what I've come up with so far:
1. White Christmas (which I own)

2. It's a Wonderful Life (which I own)

3. It's a Very Muppet Christmas Movie

4. A Muppet Christmas Carol (which I own)

5. Holiday Inn

6. Miracle on 34th Street

7. A Charlie Brown Christmas (which I own)

8. All those old-school cartoons they show every year. That screwball Rudolph!

9. The Grinch and The Grinch. OF COURSE. Sillies. Best Christmas cartoon ever.

10. Elf. Which I think wins the best new Christmas that I do believe qualifies as a classic.

I reject Santa Clause and Home Alone as valid Christmas movies because I cannot look beyond the horror which is their sequels in order to take them seriously. So don't even try to tell me they are. But seriously, this is only ten. I can't be the Christmas Movie Lady with only ten! What other movies do I need to add to my list?

And yes, we are talking about this in October. These things take prepartion. Embrace it.
