Every year, no matter what I always look forward watching 5 Christmas Classics, that never changes and neither does this blog post!
5 Christmas Classics
# 1 – It’s a Wonderful Life
The story of George Bailey played by Jimmy Stewart wishing he had never been born is truly a timeless classic. However, when George meets Clarence the bumbling Angel trying to win his wings shows him what life would be like without him, there are some truly eye opening scenes.
And who can’t help but recite, “Every time a bell rings an Angel gets it’s wings.”
#2 – Scrooge – the 1951 version
This version of the Charles Dickens’ timeless classic is my all time favorite one. Alastair Sim’s performance in this black and white version is Scrooge at it’s best.
#3 – Christmas Story
This is definitely a “will not miss” movie classic especially since it’s on for 24 hours on TBS and this year it actually started on Thanksgiving evening!
I love Ralphie sexual attraction to that leg lamp which is now a best seller on Amazon and at most major stores.
FRA’GILE
Oh, and I can only imagine how many kids put their tongue on a frozen pole to see if it actually stuck!
#4 – Miracle on 34th Street – 1947
Christmas and of course Santa is on trial but the holiday spirit wins everyone over. I love when the mail is delivered to the courthouse addressed to Santa. However, my favorite scene is the cane that sits in the middle of the empty room of Suzie’s new home, reminding us that the spirit of Christmas will always be a part of our lives.
“I BELIEVE I BELIEVE!’
#5 – The Perfect Holiday
Morris Chestnut plays an aspiring musician working as a mall Santa. A young girl turns to this department store Santa in the hopes that he will help find a new husband for her divorced mother played by Gabrielle Union. A definite tear-jerker.
Honorable mention:
Charlie Brown Christmas
It wouldn’t be Christmas without this timeless classic and the song around the tree gets me every time!

Lisa chose Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake from Kiku Corner. “My son’s home from college on break and he loves coffee cake. This looks like a great Christmas morning treat.”
Michelle chose Joy in Hard Places… from our very own co-host Tracy at View From the Beach Chair. “I am in awe of the author’s fortitude and grace in extremely difficult circumstances.”
Laurie chose Include Yourself in Your Schedule from our very own co-host Evelyn at Eclectic Evelyn. “I find that we tend to all be so busy that we don’t take care of ourselves. We need to remember to put on our own oxygen mask first so that we can have what we need to take care of others. Taking care of yourself is important not selfish.”
Sonni chose Jalapeño Popper Chaffle from The Hungry Mountaineer. “Okay – the title got me. I had to find out what a chaffle was. I am going to make some for my dad. He loves jalapeño peppers.”
Tracy chose Christmas M & M Cookies in a Jar from our very own co-host Lisa at Lisa K Creative Life. “I love these mason jar gifts. As a teacher, I am all about getting consumables. As a mom, I am all about getting things I don’t have to dust. As a woman, I love anything chocolate…need I say more! Great gift idea!”
Kimberly chose Gift Wrapping Ideas from The Little Treasures. “I am the worst when it comes to gift wrapping presents. This post gives some ideas for sprucing mine up.”
