Getting in the Spirit of things

We put our Christmas tree up last night and before you ask, it’s a particularly splendid Norway Spruce from HomeBase (only £9.99). So with the smell of Christmas and all the bright lights it got me thinking about the Christmas films. So I quickly put together a list of my top five Christmas films.

At Number 5 I have chosen Home Alone. Eight year old Kevin, Macaulay Culkin, is accidently left at home over Christmas whilst his family go on Holiday. If that wasn’t enough Kevin then has to defend his house against a couple of bungling crooks. He’s just a kid…

Making Number 4 in my list is Die Hard. On Christmas eve a group of terrorist highjack a Los Angeles office building and hold the partying workers hostage. However they didn’t count on off duty New York cop John McClane, Bruce Willis. Yippee Ki Yay…

Scrooged rocks in a Number 3. A nasty selfish TV executive, Bill Murray, will do anything to promote his live version of A Christmas Carol. But he is warned by the ghost of his former boss to change his ways and that he will be visited by three ghosts. Quick, what time is it?

My Number 2 Christmas film is The National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Clark Griswold, Chevy Chase, loves Christmas and will do whatever it takes to have the best family Christmas ever. What could possibly go wrong?

At Number 1 there can be no other, It is The Muppet Christmas Carol. I’m quite sure that Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol knowing that one day the Muppets and Michael Caine would get together to give us the best Christmas film ever. Humbug!
