John and I are known for being huge movie fans but during the Christmas season, our love of movies becomes even more intense. As I mentioned earlier, watching a month’s worth of holiday themed films is on my holiday bucket list. The following movies are my (current) top 20 all time favorite Christmas movies. They range from sappy (Love Actually) to hilarious (Elf) to action packed (Die Hard). Most of them have some sort of cheesy elements or dialogue but what’s a Christmas movie without a little cheese (with wine and cookies)?

- Home Alone
- Home Alone 2
- Love Actually
- A Christmas Story
- A Christmas Carol
- National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
- Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

- Scrooged
- Die Hard
