I belong to a really great group EtsyBloggers, and once a month, we get to write about a special topic.

Since I love to write, and I love movies, this month’s topic was an easy one to choose. The holiday season will soon be here – what’s your favorite holiday movie or special? Why?

I’m a sucker for tear jerkers! If I find a movie on tv, that I have seen before, and it’s a tear jerker – I always cry at the end, even if I am only watching the last 20 minutes of the movie!

And holiday movies really make the tears flow. It’s a good thing that I watch them every year – so I know what’s going on when the tears come on.

My favorite all time holiday movie is It’s a Wonderful Life. Why? Because it warms your heart to see someone who feels he is so far down that there is nothing left in life – realize that his life is his family, the love shared by that family will see him through all kinds of hardships.

Of course, when watching a movie you have seen before, you know how it ends, but you are so wrapped up in the watching that you feel you are part of it. And the actor’s struggles are your own. And of course, the happy ending is yours as well.

Now if you had asked me what holiday movie is my DH’s favorite – it would have to be A Christmas Story. He could watch it all day long. Me, I can only take that one once…

In case you are interested, I found a site that shows the top 25 Christmas Movies and believe it or not A Christmas Story is number 1! But I still stand by It’s a Wonderful Life – and that’s rated number 2.

Whatever your favorite – enjoy it this year and have a wonderful holiday!
