a christmas story

One of the best things about Christmas, is all of the hilarious movies and TV shows that come on. Check out some of my favorite must see movies to watch during the holidays.

While A Christmas Story is about as bold a holiday choice these years as Die Hard  —  did you know it takes place during Christmas???!  —  I’ll always carry a candle for Bob Clark’s story of a family growing up in 1940s America. My own extended family would gather for the holidays each year and practically have A Christmas Story on a loop; it was a good day, then, when TBS saved us the trouble of rewinding the VHS tapes and started playing the film 24/7 on our behalf. Cliche or not, A Christmas Story still sets the stage for the holidays in my household.

There are many great movies to watch during Christmas break and you may or may not agree with my 5, but they are some of my favorites.

Abilene got a bunch of snow last night. So, while most making snowmen or peeing in the snow, I decided to coax a couple of coworkers outside then put them on the spot to reenact a scene from "A Christmas Story". Yep, the famous "tongue to the frozen pole" scene.

It wouldn’t be Christmas time without Christmas movies, and even though the same half-dozen or so holiday classics tend to be played again and again during December two Christmas films folks are still not sick of are ‘A Christmas Story’ and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’
