Welcome or welcome back to our 12 Days
0:03
of Christmas vlog. Today is going to be
0:05
a fun one. I'm going to be sharing with
0:07
you guys and hopefully you too are going
0:08
to share with me down below in the
0:10
comments box your top 10 Christmas
0:14
movies that you're going to be watching
0:15
with your family this year. Let's go
0:18
ahead and get straight into it. We're
0:19
not going to waste any time. Number one
0:21
on my list of family Christmas movie
0:24
night picks is definitely going to be
0:26
Home Alone. And we're just going to put
0:27
all of them except for the third one in
0:30
the same category. And we always start
0:32
our Christmas movies off with Home
0:34
Alone. We love one and two and I think
0:38
five. We actually have not seen four
0:40
yet. And we're not really a big fan of
0:41
Home Alone 3. So I'm probably going to
0:44
leave Home Alone 3 off of my Christmas
0:47
movie list this year. But one and two a
0:50
must. It is a classic. I love it. My
0:53
six-year-old loves to watch it. And for
0:55
some reason, even my one-year-old stayed
0:57
quiet when we watched both one and two,
0:59
and we watched five. We haven't seen
1:01
four yet, so we're going to watch four
1:03
next, but Home Alone is definitely at
1:04
the top of my list. It's fun for the
1:06
entire family. When you're hosting and
1:08
you're having family over, it's the
1:09
perfect family movie to just have
1:11
playing in the background. When you're
1:12
cooking, it's fun to have in the
1:13
background. Really put you in that
1:15
Christmas mood. We love it. Absolutely
1:17
love it. Again, number three wasn't our
1:20
favorite, so it's not on my pick. I
1:22
don't know. Did you like it? I just
1:23
didn't think it was great for the kids.
1:25
Maybe for the adults, but number five
1:27
was super adorable. Home Alone. Number
1:30
one on my list every single time. But
1:34
number two, also a classic is the
1:36
Grinch. And I'm going to just say all of
1:37
them as well. Definitely the classic
1:40
like the the classic older original one,
1:42
but also the newest one that they came
1:44
out with a couple years ago, the
1:45
animated version. The animated one is
1:47
also really cute. So they have like an
1:49
older animated one and then they have
1:50
like a newer animated one. Then they
1:52
have like the old classic one as well.
1:54
Like they're they're cute. So all three
1:57
of those definitely I love them all.
1:59
That's going to be number two on my list
2:03
of So number three on my list is going
2:06
to be all the Santa Clauses. We love the
2:08
Santa Clauses as well. Um so we're going
2:12
to group them together. Like if we went
2:13
and put these individually then we would
2:15
already be past 10, right? But all the
2:18
Santa Claus movies are really cute. If
2:20
you're watching with your kiddos this
2:22
video, I just want to give a quick
2:24
little disclaimer. We're going to be
2:26
talking about a special guy. So, if you
2:29
want to, there's a little disclaimer to
2:32
maybe turn the volume down, put on some
2:35
headphones, and really quickly step into
2:37
a different room because we're going to
2:38
be talking about that. So, for all of
2:39
the Santa Claus movies, my my
2:41
six-year-old once we started watching
2:44
that movie for the first time when he
2:46
was five last year, he started asking
2:48
questions about Santa Claus, which was
2:50
new for our family because um he never
2:53
really showed interest in it. We never
2:54
really brought him up. I made a vow to
2:58
myself and to my husband that I would
3:00
never be dishonest with my children. I
3:03
would always tell them the truth because
3:05
there are so many non-truths out in the
3:08
world today that if we want our children
3:11
to believe us and this is just how I
3:13
feel when it comes to them believing us
3:15
about what is true and knowing that
3:18
under no circumstances are we going to
3:21
be dishonest to each other even if we
3:23
think it's for a good reason. I think
3:25
it's important that we be honest with
3:26
one another. And so I want to teach that
3:28
to my children. So when they ask me
3:29
questions I just want to be honest with
3:32
them. I don't want them to ask me 10
3:34
years down the line why did I not tell
3:37
them this and be disappointed when they
3:39
find out the truth if you know what I'm
3:41
saying. So I just I'm not hurting them
3:44
by telling them the truth. I'm just not.
3:47
But yeah, that's just how we see it. So
3:49
he definitely started asking and so just
3:52
like Mickey Mouse that is equivalent to
3:55
Santa Claus. So that is how we go about
3:57
it. Santa Claus is definitely a um fun
4:01
fictional character movie that we love
4:03
to watch. So that's number three on my
4:05
list. All the Santa Clauses. Number
4:07
four, you have to have to know the
4:10
classics. You just got to you have to
4:12
watch Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer.
4:14
It's the cutest little thing. Seriously,
4:17
Rudolph, you have to watch Rudolph and
4:19
you have to start remembering. I still
4:21
don't know them, but it's fun every year
4:24
to try and do that with my son to try
4:25
and remember the different names of all
4:27
the cute little reindeers and
4:28
everything. So, um I definitely have
4:32
Rudolph. It's a classic. It's on my
4:34
list. So, that is number four, which
4:35
brings me to number five, which is
4:37
Frosty the Snowman. My son loved
4:39
watching Frosty the Snowman with me. So,
4:42
Rudolph Frosty gets number four and five
4:45
on my list of Christmas classics. rank
4:47
them and put them wherever you want
4:49
obviously based on your family and um
4:52
how you like the movie and the ages of
4:53
your kiddos. But that is going to be my
4:55
top five. That's my top five. I'm not
4:58
budging on them anytime soon. Number six
5:01
on my list is going to be Mickey's Once
5:04
Upon a Christmas. Um because Mickey's
5:07
Once or Twice Upon a Christmas. know
5:09
there's a once upon and a twice upon a
5:10
Christmas because we are a Disney loving
5:12
family and we often go to the Christmas
5:15
party at Disney World. Then getting into
5:18
the Disney Christmas spirit is also
5:20
something fun that our family loves to
5:22
do. So we watch Mickey's Once Upon a
5:24
Christmas. And when my son was 2 years
5:25
old, he loved that movie. I mean, he
5:28
used to just laugh so much watching that
5:32
movie that it was joyful for all of us
5:34
because it's so cute and it's so silly,
5:36
but also it teaches some good family
5:38
values. So, I love that one as well with
5:42
our littles, too, because we like Disney
5:44
and we like Mickey and Friends. We watch
5:48
that one every year as well. I think we
5:50
were watching that one when we were
5:51
decorating for the holidays. If you guys
5:53
saw our Christmas Decorate with Me
5:55
video, that was the thing that my kids
5:57
were watching in the background. And
5:59
then the other one is Mickey's Twice
6:00
Upon a Christmas. So, they're really
6:02
cute. They're like little short films
6:04
put together. They're they're cute. So,
6:06
that's number six on my list. If you've
6:08
never watched it and you enjoy Disney,
6:10
you know, movies and things like that, I
6:12
definitely recommend you just, you know,
6:14
try it out. Give it a try. get on the
6:15
couch, eat some popcorn with a little we
6:17
always pull out like our little Disney
6:19
World popcorn buckets and just sit down
6:20
and watch it together as a family. It's
6:22
really really cute. So number seven on
6:24
my list and um it's al they also have a
6:28
classic for this one and I think a newer
6:30
one and I think they're actually making
6:32
another one. I have to see when that
6:34
movie comes out. It is Scrooge. Disney
6:38
has a Scrooge version as well. The
6:39
classic, even the cute, fun ones are
6:43
definitely a good one as well. I mean,
6:45
come on. We got some Granches and we
6:47
definitely got some Scrooges around the
6:49
holiday season as well. So, Scrooge is
6:51
number seven on my list of Christmas
6:53
family movie night pics. I always
6:55
thought Scrooge was super cute. Um, it
6:58
teaches him how to be grateful for
6:59
things. He was a little Grinch and then
7:01
he turned around and was all in the
7:03
spirit as well. So, if your little ones
7:05
are more sensitive to like obviously
7:08
like ghosts of the past and things like
7:10
that and they're sensitive to that or
7:12
that's something that you are not a fan
7:14
of either, then Scrooge is not going to
7:15
be it for you. But I think it's a cute
7:18
little um little classic little tail and
7:21
everything. So, one that is a little bit
7:23
more face in this one. A lot of people
7:26
joke and say like they look a little
7:28
weird in the movie. Number eight on my
7:30
list is The Polar Express. It's cute. It
7:33
is a faithfilled storyline. It's about
7:35
believing in what you can't see and it's
7:38
it's cute. I like Polar Express and that
7:41
is definitely on our list. We haven't
7:42
watched it this year yet. We are, like I
7:45
said, we still have one more Home Alone
7:47
to watch. We watched the Mickey Once
7:49
Upon Twice Upon Christmas. I think we
7:51
saw the Grinch already. Um, so Polar
7:53
Express is also on our list to watch
7:56
this year as well as Frosty the Snowman
7:58
and Rudolph. We haven't seen that one
8:00
yet. But number eight on my list is
8:01
Polar the Express. I think it's really
8:03
really cute once you get past how funny
8:06
the animations
8:08
look. Big-headed little kids, they do
8:10
look a little little bit weird, but I
8:12
think that it's really cute and it's
8:13
number eight on my list. Let me know
8:15
what's your number eight. If you're
8:17
going about this with me, leave your
8:18
favorites down below in the comments.
8:19
Number nine on my list is going to be a
8:21
Charlie Brown Christmas because it is
8:23
also a classic. I just think like around
8:25
the holiday season watching like the
8:27
Thanksgiving Charlie Brown, the
8:28
Halloween one, and then the Charlie
8:30
Brown Christmas. They're just classics
8:32
that, you know, most families watch all
8:34
the time. And they're they're always
8:36
going to be cute little classics. So,
8:37
Charlie Brown Christmas is one of those
8:39
that we might put on and watch when we
8:40
we're not like trying to be like fully
8:43
invested, but just in the background,
8:46
Charlie Brown Christmas is just a cute
8:48
one that we watch we could watch
8:49
together. For number 10 on my list,
8:53
obviously the nativity. So the version
8:55
that we watch it is not animated and it
8:58
might not be super kid feeling but um my
9:02
son he he is normally interested in
9:05
those type of things. So the nativity
9:08
story I'll try to link down below the
9:09
one that we watch nativity movie but
9:11
there are so many ones. So there's like
9:12
a veggie tells one for little kids. Um
9:15
there is one I think with like animals
9:17
telling the nativity story. Let me see
9:19
what which what's the name of that one?
9:21
The Star. The Star is one that I think
9:25
the kiddos are. It's more like
9:27
kid-friendly. Any nativity movie, I
9:30
think it's important to add in there and
9:32
really teach your little ones about what
9:34
Christmas is truly all about. And so,
9:36
you know, keep it age appropriate
9:38
obviously and have, you know, make it
9:41
fun and something for the whole family
9:43
to enjoy, but also those important
9:45
lessons are equally important. So, a few
9:47
good ones as well, like outside of our
9:49
10 honorable mentionables. Um, a lot of
9:53
people like The Christmas Chronicles. I
9:55
thought it was okay. Wasn't a huge fan
9:57
of it. Jingle Jingle. I think that one
9:58
is really really cute. We always like
10:00
Jingle Jingle, The Little Drummer Boy,
10:01
The Little Shepherd. Last year, we
10:03
watched the Rise of the Guardians
10:05
Christmas movie, which was super, super
10:07
cute. So, they have like Galaxy of the
10:08
Guardians, but then they have Rise of
10:10
the Guardians, Santa Claus. Santa Claus
10:12
is cute as well. A lot of kids like that
10:14
one. There are a ton of them. And so I
10:16
just wanted to share with you guys my
10:18
top 10 picks. And I would love to know
10:20
what is your top 10 or even your top
10:24
five picks. Let's see if ours, you know,
10:27
we have some that intertwine and that we
