Abby Does Life: The Christmas Countdown and Christmas Movies

It is officially less than 10 days till Christmas! When I'm writing this, there's 9 days, but you won't see this till 8 days till Christmas. I've decided to do Christmas Countdown Blogging until Christmas, which means a post a day about Christmas-y items. How many times have I said Christmas in the 5 sentences of this post?

Anyways, on with the post.

Christmas movies are something I think every single person in the world that celebrates Christmas has discussed so much, this is probably going to be something that you don't want to hear about at all. Never the less, I'm still going to talk about it, so exit if you so wish.

My all time favorite Christmas movie will always be A Christmas Story. I've grown up watching it and it's a family favorite because of the setting. My family lived in Ohio for a long time, and my dad was born there. Every year, it's on a TV channel for the entirety of Christmas day. And that is not an exaggeration, it plays from 12 AM, December 25, to 11:59 PM. I don't know if there's been a year where my family and I haven't sat down and watched it after Christmas dinner. "You'll shoot your eye out!"

Another great movie is Elf, of course everyone loves that movie. Will Ferrell is absolutely hilarious, and you're not going to find a funnier, more Christmas-y, comedy Christmas film out there.

One movie that my mom and I love to watch is the Santa Clause trilogy with Tim Allen. Tim Allen is one of my absolute favorite actors. He did a fantastic job in those three movies. If you're looking for a warm fuzzy Christmas movie with plenty of comedy in it, The Santa Clause trilogy is the way to go. My mom found the entire set at Walmart for about $10 I believe. Christmas movies are pretty cheap around this time of year, and even cheaper right after Christmas, although a little tougher to find.

And of course, there's the classics: Rudolph, the Grinch, Love Actually, It's A Wonderful Life. They're all fantastic. Let me know what your favorites are and what you're watching this season!
