Christmas Vacation is funny, but I feel the same way. I don’t get the obsession either. This year was the first year we didn’t watch Miracle on 34th Street (the old version with Natalie Wood). It’s a good movie, but I think I’m just tired of it.
So far this year, we’ve watched Meet Me in St. Louis, Elf (the one Christmas movie that we all like in our family), The Holiday, and Love Actually. H likes Bad Santa which I hate. It’s such a crude movie. I don’t like those gross-out movies.
I think It’s a Wonderful Life is ok, but not my favorite. And it is rather depressing. My parents always liked that movie along with White Christmas. But, they remember those movies from when they were younger.
I’d be fine if I never see a version of the Christmas Carol again. I’m so tired of that story.
The Preacher’s Wife is a favorite in our family. It’s a remake of “The Bishop’s Wife.” It’s really worth a watch:
