One of my favorite childhood Christmas memories has to be collecting VHS tapes in a designated bag and watching them every year with my brothers. The main event made out of it seems pretty funny/adorable to me looking back but it was truly serious when we were younger. We've since then graduated to enjoying DVDs and TV specials on our own due to you know growing up, losing time, and other such unfortunate events...
However, once a moment presents itself nothing beats gathering around to watch a movie together. It's still among my most cherished traditions. I'd say Christmas films have played a major role in shaping my love for the season today and maybe after typing this I'll try popping one in.
So this is no List of 10 or even 20, I've got an arsenal of just my favorites... however many there are.
