I have a fondness for old movies especially the traditional or classic Christmas movies. Some of them I just love for no reason in particular, others remind me of a simpler time of life, and then there are some that are childhood favorites that I love being able to share with my kids.

Even now my kids are starting to like the old movies that I like. Musicals are a top genre in our house… unless you ask the husband and he’ll tell you a different story all together.

Here are some of my favorites.

• White Christmas
• Holiday Inn
• A Christmas Story
• Miracle on 34th Street
• A Charlie Brown Christmas
• A Nightmare Before Christmas
• Rudolph
• Frosty the Snowman
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas

I’m watching White Christmas as I write this post. It’s actually one of my favorites that I watch year round with my kids and it’s one of those movies that remind me of the simpler times, when life was a little slower for everyone.

Do you have favorite movies that you like to watch during the holiday season with your family and what are they?
