Christmas Countdown: Movie Edition!!

So I've been enjoying my end of the semester at home with my family and have neglected my blog, don't judge, you would too. I'm now catching up on my Christmas Countdown! As you may know, we are just 12 short days from Christmas Eve. This week I'm counting down my favorite Christmas movies! Also, the honorable mention category this week is actually Christmas movies I've heard are great, but have never seen. So here we go...

Honorable Mention

• Miracle on 34th Street
• White Christmas (which I plan to catch on TV this weekend)
• Holiday Inn
• Meet Me in St. Louis
• Scrooged

Top 20 Christmas Movies

• 20. Ernest Saves Christmas (yes, I'm a dork but I thought this was hilarious when I was little!)
• 19. I'll Be Home for Christmas (Jonathan Taylor Thomas in the 90's? Yes, please! ha ha)
• 18. 4 Christmases
• 17. Jack Frost
• 16. Borrowed Hearts (this is a made-for-TV movie and it's so cheesy, but very cute!)
• 15. Serendipity (who doesn't love movies about fate?)
• 14. Babes in Toyland (yes, it's a kid movie, but that's what Christmas is about, the magic of childhood!)
• 13. Elf (now I don't know anyone who doesn't like this movie)
• 12. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (so cute and so funny!)
• 11. The Muppets' A Christmas Carol (there are a lot of versions of this story, but the Muppets' has always been my favorite)

• 9. The Family Stone (this movie always makes me cry, it's just so good!)
• 8. A Charlie Brown Christmas (clearly a classic)
• 7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (makes anybody's family look better. ha ha)

• 5. The Polar Express (this movie is the epitome of the wonder childhood and Christmas)
• 3 & 4. Home Alone 1 & 2 (I couldn't pick which one of these is better if I tried because they are both so awesome!!)
• 2. A Christmas Story (yes, I watch the marathon every year and it only gets better with time!)
