If you don’t contribute to the 25 days of Christmas movies, then what are you doing with your life?

The movies I’m about to list, you won’t want to miss this holiday season.

Home Alone & Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: All about a boy  named Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) whose family forgets about him on their vacations during their Christmas vacations. In the movie, these two men attempt to kidnap Kevin, but he outsmarts them. It’s a funny, suspenseful and a good family movie to watch for Christmas.

Elf is a Christmas comedy about a baby named Buddy, put up for adoption, and adopted by elves. Buddy soon realizes he’s adopted and has the urge to find his real dad in the real world. Traveling to New York and going through struggles, Buddy finds his dad and joins his new family, showing everyone what it means to have Christmas Spirit.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of those movies you watched in school right before Christmas break, it’s a classic. Jack Skellington, pumpkin king and the main character, is tired of the same old Halloween that is always happening in Halloween Town. While wandering through the woods, he finds a tree that is decorated with lights and ornaments. Jack went inside the tree and on the other side found a Christmas Town, and fell in love with it.

The Polar Express is about a boy who is doubting the existence of Santa Claus. During Christmas Eve night, a train, The Polar Express, picks him up and takes him on a journey throughout the night that makes him believe things he didn’t think he could believe. It has good screenplay and also has a great meaning behind believing and finding yourself.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is a seriously funny Christmas movie. On this unlucky family’s road trip for Christmas, they run through a series of obstacles they have to overcome. Throughout the movie, they realize what it means to be a family and know that they are all lucky to have each other for Christmas.
