Christmas Movie Magic

It happens right around Thanksgiving every year. Before the last of the turkey has been put away, Christmas movies start popping up everywhere from television to theaters. Themes range from thought provoking to hysterical and from the birth of the Christ child to a laughable Christmas vacation.

Christmas movies bring us joy to warm our hearts and restore our faith in humanity. They give us hope and a new perspective of life and living. Some make us cry, some make us laugh and some tell a story of people just like you or how you would like to be. Movies this time of year fill our need to feel better and encourage us to help others in order to enrich our own lives.

Vicariously, actors make mistakes for us in the Christmas movies but we know they’ll correct them and make things right in the end with peace and happiness for all. They show us the joy of being alive and sharing with others helping us to explore the real reason for the season. Few people say “Bah, humbug,” after watching a meaningful Christmas movie.

We watch many of the same movies at Christmas again and again. And, each time it gives us that same magical feeling. Below are some of my favorite Christmas movies of all time!
