Best Of: Christmas Films

Christmas films are very important to me. Both the good and the bad (in fact, sometimes the bad are the most fun). One of my favourite things about Christmas is the ritual of watching new additions that inevitably appear on streaming services like Netflix but, mostly, re-visiting the old classics.

Christmas Traditions

As someone who dislikes change, when I find something that works, I stick with it. I think that’s partly why I’m so big on Christmas traditions.

Christmas: You Either Love it or You Hate It

In my experience, Christmas (if you celebrate it) is one of those things that you either love or you hate. Personally, I love it. I’m deeply passionate about all things Christmas: the food, the movies, the decorations (consumerism wins again), and the time spent with friends and family.

December as a Christmas Grinch

The change of month from November to December is a dramatic transition. I ache for the days when I could be unencumbered by Christmas carols ringing in my ear every time I browse a shop.
