On the 10th of December .. Christmas movies and books

At the beginning of each December, when the Christmas boxes come down from the attic, one of the boxes I most look forward to opening is the one that contains the Christmas films and books.

Until Christmas Eve I like to leave them under the Christmas tree, until they are replaced by the presents! The thought of lots of wrapped presents under the tree might just be too tempting so I keep them elsewhere until Christmas Eve.

Some of my favourite movies include

Miracle on 34th Street (both versions)

The Santa Clause (all 3 of them)

Scrooged

It’s A Wonderful Life

The Snowman (Raymond Briggs)

Shrek the Halls

And my favourite Christmas Books

ANY nativity story! – but especially this one, The Story of Christmas – A Nativity Tale for Children, which has photos of the traditional school nativity, tea towels and all!

The Tale of Three Trees

Twas The Night Before Christmas

What about you – which movies and books would you choose or add to the list?

The snow has gone! I am sure it will return, but for now I am NOT missing it at all (sorry to gloat to those who are still snowed in and shovelling their way out)
