You can deny it all you want, but the festive period is officially upon us! Well to help you through the festive evenings here are my top 4 Christmas films!
Home Alone
Is there anything more festive than home alone! A kid gets left at home over the festive period, he is the “misfit” of the family and struggles to find his place! Swears he wouldn’t miss them if they disappeared….Spoiler, he does! Mayhem ensues and he realises he misses his family and wonders what Christmas would be with without them! Sorry another spoiler, but realistically you’re doing Christmas wrong if you haven’t seen this! The family return and they have the Christmas he dreamed off! Also the soundtrack is what Christmas is made off!
It’s a wonderful life
What is Christmas eve without It’s a wonderful life?! A classic Christmas tale which begins with one character near the brink of despair however in an ever fitting festive plot the film moves forward and shows how the absence of one person can change everything for those around them! It’s also black and white which just adds to the festive spirit!
Elf
Well, If you haven’t seen Elf you really haven’t lived! “Bye buddy, I hope you find your dad” – If you said that is any other voice than the whale then we can’t be friends! Buddy goes off in search off his dad in New York. Only to find someone who was defiantly placed high on the “Naughty” list! Antics ensue – there is defiantly a theme to my favourite festive films! The best bit has to be the carols in central park…WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE! SO MUCH FESTIVE FEELINGS! As per most festive films, there is indeed a happy ending!
The Santa Clause
Disclaimer, the new ones… not so much the old ones! This and Home Alone are two films I remember being glued to the big screen when I was a child – I’m a 90’s kid, so when I say big screen, I mean big screen. A massive black box in the corner of the room. Like HUGE! This film holds everything you want from Christmas! The “T’was the night before Christmas” poem is by far one of the most festive memories I hold and it was all down to Tim Allan and Santa falling from the roof!
