Here are my top five favorite Christmas movies that I just love and they always get me in the spirit! Do any of my top five match your top five?

My ultimate favorite all time giggle fest that makes me laugh every single time is....

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION

I particularly love the scene when Aunt Bethany arrives.

Next for giggling (which is my favorite thing to do) is...

ELF

Then (still staying with the giggling aspect of Christmas) is...

A CHRISTMAS STORY

I first saw this movie with my family and we laughed and laughed and laughed...

Then for the true spirit of the season (yea...I can be a softy) is the classic....

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

And not to get all Debbie Downer on you...this is the first Christmas without my parents. I do miss them. I miss their terrible gifts (they gave me a poncho one year. You know, like a Mexican poncho!) and I just plain miss them. When I'm feeling sentimental, this is the one show that will bring me back to growing up in Idaho and just loving everything about Christmas....
