What is it about a Christmas tree that makes us smile?
It’s that time of year! We put our tree up and have our music Christmas playing!
As you take some time off next week, you may be looking for a good family movie to watch.
Here are our top Holiday Movies. You can check them out from your library, find some of them on Netflix, or Amazon Prime – or click on the titles below to purchase them. They’d make a nice Christmas gift for your kids or spouse – or as a special surprise from your “Elf on the Shelf!“
Here are our favorites, in no particular order:
