TEN TOP TENS FOR 2010: part 4

Christmas Day - the biggest movie box office day of the year! How many blockbusters have been released on Christmas Day? Surely there's a count somewhere, but that's not what this post is about. This post is about great movies about Christmas, involving Christmas, set at Christmastime, etc. Let's spend a little time at the movies, shall we? This is my top ten Christmas movie list (this one was tough because there are so many great Christmas movies, so please add to this list):

10. Home Alone 

9. The Family Stone 

8. Elf

7. Miracle On 34th Street

6. Scrooged (and all the other movies based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens)

5. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

4. A Christmas Story

3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

2. It's A Wonderful Life

1. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Name some other great Christmas movies.

Peace, Love, and Merry Christmas ... at the movies

WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS

This has been one of the best Christmases I've ever had; not because of the presents I got or even because of the presents I gave. It was the best because I got to spend valuable time with my family, and there is only one greater gift that I know of - the gift of Jesus. Without that gift, there would be no point of Christmas. This song says it all:



I hope and pray your Christmas was even better than ours...which is very tough to pull off!

THE JESUS - SANTA CONNECTION

'Tis the season to go crazy trying to remember what "the season" is all about. Maybe this will help.



So, who do you prefer - Santa or Savior?
