There are a handful of Christmas films that I look forward to watching every year. There are some movies that I wanted to add to this list like Soul Food and Bridgette Jones' Diary and The Wiz and Why Did I Get Married and Serendipity, but they only had snow in them or scenes that occurred during Christmas, so they really aren't Christmas movies per se, and thus did not make the official list.
Here's the quick and dirty in no particular order...
1. This Christmas (2007)
The first time I saw this one, it became an instant favorite. And NOT just because it stars all back people cast in a severely normal an non-stereotypical roles (although that almost does it for me every time). Two words: Loretta Divine. And the boys in this film are the perfect bag of chocolatey caramel eye-candy!
2. Perfect Holiday (2007)
See above, except replace "Loretta Divine" with Gabrielle Union. Plus-->QUEEN LATIFAH! Can we get her in more films please?
3. Love Actually (2003)
If this list was in order of my favorites, this one would be number one. For the following reasons: Hugh Grant. Singing. Dancing. English accents. Tears. Laughter. LOVE!
4. The Family Stone (2005)
Hello? Totally normal dysfunctional people, totally normal dysfunctional relationships, Diane Keaton, realistically complicated and unconditional family love, and Carey!...I mean Sarah Jessica Parker!
5. A Christmas Story (1983)
This one is on the list because, isn't it supposed to be on every list? Because I hear it's really good. I was too young to see it when it came out, and had lost interest in it by the time I was old enough. I have seen bits of it...like the dog eating the turkey, and the tongue stuck to the frozen lamp pole, an the fishnets lamp, but...meh. Still, I look forward to seeing the whole thing every year. Maybe this year I'll watch it. if not this year, then the next.
Hey Chica I had the pleasure of interviewing the actors in The Perfect Holiday. Queen Latifah was awesome and Gabriel Union,Faizon,and Morris Chestnut was a delight.I really liked the movie alot,wish it did better at box office.

Thank you for sharing Christmas movie list !! Christmas based movies are my favorite one. We people celebrate Christmas festival on bug scale and then watched the Christmas based movie specially on Christmas day.

Lighting a fire is only half the battle. The way you build a fire - that is, how you arrange the wood - can affect how long the fire will last and the amount of heat it'll give off during that time. This article will provide an overview of "fire architecture" so you can build the perfect fire for your circumstances.

I'd be interested in hearing. The TOS seems rather clear that it is not unless expressly approved by Amazon. I guess if the library got it in writing then they would be ok.
