It’s Christmas season ladies and gentlemen! That means it’s time to watch your favorite holiday movies! Here are some of my favorite movies so get everyone feeling the holiday!

The Polar Express

The Polar Express is about a child who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus or anything about the holiday. He gets woken up in the middle of the night because he hears a train going by his house. He gets on the train and is taken to the North Pole where he meets Santa Claus. Halfway there, the train tracks are under the ice so they have to drift back and forth to get on the tracks that are on the other side. Eventually, they get to the North Pole and the boy can’t see Santa until he says he believes. Santa comes up to him and gives him the first gift of Christmas, and he finally believes in Santa Claus.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Everyone knows How the Grinch Stole Christmas, of course. It’s about the Grinch and why he doesn’t like Christmas or the Who’s that live down in Whoville. At the beginning of the movie, Cindy Lou Who and her Dad are shopping for Christmas presents for everyone in their family. Cindy meets the Grinch and isn’t scared of him. She’s more intrigued by him and wants to know more about him and why he hates Christmas so much. She figures it out and invites him to the 1000th Whoville Whobilation where he wins a prize. But it was all a joke, so he stole all the presents of the children. When everyone finds their presents gone they mourn about it, but Cindy Lou and her family are glad that the presents are gone. Cindy Lou goes to the Grinch and he saves her from falling off the cliff. After all that, the Grinch’s heart grows three sizes bigger and he starts to like Christmas again.
