I am a huge film buff, I always have been and I always will be. So when Christmas comes around I am getting out my Christmas DVD's ready for a marathon of festive films.
The Santa Clause (1994) - This is one of my favourite Christmas films ever. I can't even remember the first time I ever watched it, I just remember watching it all the time when I was little with my mum. It's sort of become a tradition now, we'll watch it every year. This film is about a normal man called Scott Calvin who suddenly becomes Santa one Christmas Eve, after the original Santa fell off his roof. He then spends the night being dragged down chimneys delivering presents and he spends the next year convincing himself it was a dream.
Elf (2003) - This is such a feel good film, it's about an Elf named Buddy who is actually a human who crawled into Santa's sack and just grew up in the North Pole. When he's an adult he is so much bigger than the other elves and Santa then tells him the truth about who he is. He tells him to go to New York in search of his father and he finds a whole family. It's such a cute film definitely one to watch around Christmas time!
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) - This is a Muppet twist on Charles Dickens' novella A Christmas Carol. It follows Ebenezer Scrooge who hates Christmas time. He then gets visits from three ghosts, the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. It's a classic film with your favourite muppet characters.
Home Alone (1990) - Home Alone is about a boy named Kevin McCallister who is left at home alone after his family forget to take him on holiday one Christmas. He's then targeted by two house robbers, but Kevin is more than capable of protecting himself after setting a number of traps for the two men. It's such a hilarious family favourite. The second Home Alone is another one to watch, this time he accidentally gets on a plane to New York rather than Florida with the rest of his family.
The Grinch (2000) - The Grinch is about a nasty creature who hates Christmas. He lives in the mountains above Whoville, one year he decides to ruin Christmas for the residents of Whoville by planning to steal Christmas. He then meets a young girl called Cindy-Lou who tries to befriend him.
