Hello, World.

As the holidays approach, I wanted to take a moment to share my favorite holiday movies. there are so many great holiday movie picks, and this is definitely not a comprehensive list, but I wanted to share the movies I return to year after year. For those of you studying for finals, take a break every now and then and watch one of these films to remind you there is light at the end of the finals tunnel: CHRISTMAS!

The Holiday | starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law, this pick is a sure win. It’s corny in places, but the overall story is so good, and it’s one I can watch over and over.

Eloise at the Christmastime | If you want to return to your childhood, I recommend this winner. It’s so cute! And it makes you wish you lived in the Plaza Hotel!

The Santa Clause | Tim Allen is too good in this! I love this movie, and I especially love the sequel.

The Family Man | This is a family favorite in my house! It’s one of the few holiday movies my dad will watch. The message of this film is so good, and reminds us to be thankful!

Either of the first two Harry Potter films | Before things get too dark in the Harry Potter world, I think the first two have so much magic, and do have Christmas sequences!

What’s your holiday favorite?

Truly,

Callie Leigh
