There are just some traditions I have to do each year, I'm sure you know that feeling that if you don't repeat that tradition then your holiday doesn't feel quite the same, or it feels incomplete. There are certain movies I have to watch, so for your Sunday viewing pleasure, these are my must-watch Christmas movies! Enjoy and have a Christmas cookie or two while you watch them!
The first is How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon version, I seriously don't like the Jim Carrey version)
The second movie is the Claymation Christmas. This is done entirely in clay and includes the California raisins. This is my dad's particular favorite!
A must-watch is White Christmas. Usually watched Christmas Eve growing up and my dad would say break out into song for the Sisters song and sing it to me and my sister.
Of course Elf!
Another great Christmas movie must-watch is Christmas Vacation!
A newly must-watch movie introduced to me by Sean is Holiday Inn!
What are your must-watch Christmas movies?

I seriously love the Grinch :)
One of my favs though is I'll be home for Christmas!
I love this list! I haven't ever seen the claymation one. I always watch the Grinch (one of my favorites) and A Christmas Story. But I always end up watching all the Christmas movies that come on TV around this time!

Love most of these movies! I really don't like the Jim Carrey Grinch movie one either.
White Christmas and Holiday Inn are two my of my all-time favorites too! Funny that your dad sang the "sisters" song to you, haha!! And i've never seen the Jim Carrey version of The Grinch but i have a feeling i'd agree with you!

Those are all fantastic! I absolutely love Love Actually, the Holiday, and every year on Christmas Eve we watch It's a Wonderful Life. Can't go a Christmas without any of those!
For me it's Charlie Brown Christmas, The Grinch, The Family Man and White Christmas. Occasionally, It's a Wonderful Life.
This list of movies are all so wonderful! I love Christmas movies :-)
I love all of these!
I would add It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street.

I loooove the grinch and elf! They are my favorite holiday movies!
I don't like the movie version of the Grinch either, but love the cartoon!
I love this post so so much! My favorites also include Family Stone and Love Actually. I've watched both of them about ten times so far. I can't make Christmas cookies or wrap gifts without them being on the television! :)
Elf is great! Christmas Vacation is my husband's favorite, but I'm partial to A Christmas Story :)
Great picks! My favorite has to be "A Christmas Story."
I LOVE Elf!!!! obsessed!!!!

I cannot believe that you have Claymatian Christmas on your list!!! I have been watching that since I was REALLY little. And some parts always scared me just because of the creepy animation! Yes, we have it on VHS, but not on DVD.
These movies are great...I can't wait for Christmas day so I can watch Christmas Story all day long.
I love all these movies! I haven't had enough time this year to watch many Christmas movies. Top on my list is A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, and A Chritmas Carol!
Great movies!! I've been slacking on watching Christmas movies at my house this year, crap!! But I love The Bishops Wife and Christmas Vacation!!
couldn't agree more about the cartoon Grinch!

I love love love How the Grinch Stole Christmas!!!!
I usually watch Home Alone this time of year too. A new fav for me is It's a Beautiful Life.
I love Christmas movies, especially Elf! We've already watched it twice in one week.
This is a great list! We LOVE watching Christmas movies!
How could I have forgotten White Christmas and Holiday Inn??? I would watch those every year with my mom on AMC!!!! Such good ones!!!
