the best Christmas movies

I wanted to do a post on what I think are some of the greatest movies to watch around Christmas time.  I can't think of a whole bunch, but here's a few I could think of.  They aren't in any particular order; just in the order I thought of them.

You may notice that, contrary to what most people would choose, "It's a Wonderful Life" isn't on my list.  I can't stand that movie.

1. While You Were Sleeping.  This is a good, clean movie, which is kind of rare these days.  I really like it.

2. Little Women.  My sisters and I love this movie, although I think I like it more than they do.  We owned one of the "Little Women" movies from a few decades ago, but this more modern version is so much better.  I love how it's not a hugely dramatic movie, and how it follows really closely with the book, which I also love.

3. Frosty the Snowman.  My family watches this all together every year.

4. Charlie Brown's Christmas.  This another one we always watch together.  I love how there is a presentation of Christ.  It's kind of a miracle.

5. The Polar Express.  This is one of my most favorite movies ever.  It's so exciting!

6. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.  This is another one of those classic Christmas movies.  That big white monster guy still kind of freaks me out. :)

31 Days of Song, Day #7

"Baby, It's Cold Outside" is a classic Christmas song.  It's one of those ones that everyone knows and loves.  It was written by Frank Loesser in 1936.  It was premiered by Frank and his wife, Lynn Garland, at a house party they had that Christmas.  I wanted to do it today because today is the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.  Who knows, maybe this song was being played at Pearl Harbor that day?

This version is sung by Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer.

Today I'm thankful for those who have fought for our country over the years so that we may have our freedom.  Thank you!
