Probably the most classic children’s Christmas movie ever. A story about finding your place in the world and the cruelty that can befall you and how friends can help lift you higher than you’ve ever gone before. When I was a kid, before Tivo, DVD’s and VCRs I would have to wait all year to see Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. And when you were a kid that movie felt like it was epic and that it took forever. I look back and imagine that movie being about 4 hours long but it was probably because I was 7 and it was on close to or past my bedtime and I just was tired. I just love the parts with Yukon Cornelius. The movie is wonderful and should be a part of your collection.

Christmas Vacation
Another movie that is a must see each Christmas. I just love the subtle humor in scenes from within the movie. My absolute favorite is when Clark and Eddie are in the supermarket. Eddie keeps putting dog food into the cart and there is a point where Clark puts a package of light bulbs into the cart second before Eddie slams a bag of dog food directly on top of the light bulbs. Neither man reacts to that happening. They just keep going along. It is probably one of the must subtle and funny scenes of the whole move. This movie is also infinitely quotable. There is just so much in the movie and it endures through the years. Behind the original vacation movie this is the best one ever. Chevy Chase is certainly at the top of his game in this movie. See for yourself.
