Part 2
Okay, good suggestions: Christmas Vacation is one I forgot which falls under my odd category. Also forgot to mention A Christmas Story and Elf which is a fairly recent one. I cannot yet see Krampus since it is horror and despite my oddity, I'm still a wimp. LOL
How about classics?
Thanks to Rummanah for a reminder.
It's A Wonderful Life
My mom's fave version of A Christmas Carol:
Can't forget:
Miracle on 34th Street
And although this one is still fairly new, I consider it a classic.
Jack and Sally!
The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Oh yea, so many classics.
Music?
How about:
Best song of the season...
ROFL!
Classic Rock?
I haven't found any new ones that I really like. Maybe it is because I'm still not quite there in the spirit of things...
Anyway...
A bit more traditional...
Trans-Siberian Orchestra:
Manheim Steamroller:
💝
And for those that don't celebrate, just mention what you like to listen or watch at this time of the year. Usually we have our own traditions. I have family who is Christian, who don't celebrate at all, and who are different religions. I know several religious holidays are observed at this time. Not excluding anyone, but just making a typical US list of what usually goes on during this time of the year (many of my non-Christian family enjoys some of those classic holiday films and I have gotten suggestions from them as well). Again, please share if you want of your own traditions both religious and secular! I love to either be reminded of things I may have forgotten or learn something new!

I'm still trying to get into the spirit and you can help... Tell me what kindness you have done and enter for a fun prize. I know it isn't much, but something I thought would be fun to get. I think we all need to see a good dose of kindness right now.
that's a fun post there!
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
DeleteThese are all great ones and some of my favorites as well.
ReplyDeleteOh good! :) You have great taste. LOL ;)
DeleteI was dutifully watching and reviewing all my Christmas movies then my hubby went on vacation and nothing! lol
ReplyDeleteWe're doing a lot of house renovations too so I'm too tired to do anything when we're done.
Karen @For What It's Worth
Sounds like you are pretty busy. I think you need an unusual one to get you back in the mood again... LOL
DeleteI cannot believe that I have never seen It's a Wonderful Life. Definitely this year!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I think I see it every year on tv. Hope you enjoy!
DeleteI love holiday movies from the classic to Hallmark..lol I spy Queen. Freddy can sing!
ReplyDeleteI give my mom grief for watching so much Hallmark... but the is at any time of the year. LOL
DeleteFreddy! :D
Heat Misner! He's the top of the list of songs. lol. And Trans-Siberian Orchestra, just wow. I love Susie Snow flake too! lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Misers are the best, right? :D TSO is such a good one this time of the year.
DeleteSeveral I haven't seen!
ReplyDeleteOh really? Hope you enjoy!
DeleteFun post! I really need to start watching some of my favorite Christmas films, which would TOTALLY include Nightmare Before Christmas. I also love War is Over by Lennon, song-wise.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe I missed Jack and Sally on my last post. :) I think a lot of those songs from the 60s are going to make a comeback. :)
DeleteSuch a wonderful festive post. One of my recent favourites is Bad Santa. A bit crude in places its true but what an ending.
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't seen that one. I didn't think it was for me, but I may have to check it out.
DeleteFavorite Christmas themed song: Last Christmas by Wham! I also dig Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You.
ReplyDeleteOh those are good ones. I haven't heard a Wham! song in such a long time.
DeleteI celebrate xmas because it's xmas, not because of someone supposedly born then, neither does my family. It's a holiday for spending time with family, eating good fod and enjoy a few days off
ReplyDeleteMy non-Christian family celebrates it exactly that way. It is a time for family and food! :)
DeleteHaha We watch A Nightmare Before Christmas too, Melissa! :) I love these posts. You're getting me in the spirit! <3
ReplyDeleteJack, Sally and Zero FTW! :D
DeleteHome Alone, and The Grinch (the non-animated version) are my top favorite Christmas moves. I don't think I can go without these movies during this time! Ahh Christmas, I love ya! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Forgot about Home Alone!
DeleteI just watched the Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time this week! It was fun! I've watched a number of these but plan on re-watches this week. Looking forward to them :D
ReplyDeleteFirst time? YaY! So glad you enjoyed! What's this? ;)
DeleteGreat post! Awesome classic movies!
