ThE MoSt WoNdErFuL TiMe Of ThE YeAr

So one of my most favorite things are movies! I really love old movies that I would watch when I was a kid and I love funny movies, dramas, cartoons, some action and I prefer thrillers over horror. But my favorite kind of movies are Christmas! I think I look forward to Christmas because of all of the great movies! Now I love watching Lifetime, Hallmark and ABC Family at this time of the year but some things just never change and there are certain movies that I HAVE to watch at Christmas time! Here is my attempt at my favorite Christmas movies list!

I am going to start with ABC Family's Original Christmas Movies. These are just the ones I personally like and try to catch every year.
6. Santa Baby
5. Snow 2
4. Snow
3. Snow Globe
2. Christmas Cupid (I just love Ashley Benson!)
and my favorite abc family original Christmas movie
1. Holiday in Handcuffs! It's such a cute movie and Mario Lopez is such a hottie!

Rankin and Bass Christmas shows are some of my most favorite! So I am putting them in their own category because there are too many that I just love!
11. Cricket on the Hearth- this is based on Charles Dicken's book, and I really like the show it is just a sad story.
10. The Little Drummer Boy- I like this one now that I am older but for some reason when I was little it was really scary to me.
9. The Stingiest Man in Town- I don't know that I have ever seen this entirely but I like the cute little cartoon people.
8. The Year With Out A Santa Claus- I love Heat and Snow Miser!!
7. Rudolph's Shiny New Year
6. Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July
5. Jack Frost
4. Santa Claus is Coming to Town
3. Rudolph
2. Frosty the Snowman
1. T'was the Night Before Christmas- this is the one where a little mouse writes a letter to the newspaper that santa is fake, and so the town builds a clock to get santa to forgive them for the letter. When I was little we had this taped on a vhs and I watched that movie so many times it finally gave out. But luckily I found it on DVD last year!!
Even though Rankin and Bass didn't make them I also want to mention that I love Frosty Returns and Frosty's Winter Wonderland.
