Though it may be November and we still have Thanksgiving to get through, some of us are ready for Christmas! While some elements of Christmas may be too early to enjoy, there is one aspect that it is never too early for–Christmas movies! Almost all Christmas movies are classics and this is your go-to guide of which ones are the very best to watch non-stop till the festive holiday arrives.

Here is my list of the best Christmas Movies:

• Home Alone
• Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
• Elf
• A Christmas Story
• The Santa Claus
• The Polar Express
• Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas
• Frosty the Snowman
• Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas
• Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas
• National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
• Santa Claus is Coming to Town
• Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
• Rudolph’s Shiny New Year
• The Year without a Santa Claus

This may seem like a long list but there are countless movies that everyone loves and everyone has a different story behind why they love a certain movie. Watching a movie may be a Christmas tradition, but there are also tons of other Christmas traditions that are special and unique in their own way. Here are some students and teachers that have a Christmas tradition and movie they’d like to share:
