The Ten: Best Christmas Movies – Relay race

TheTenChristmasMovies

December has started, which means a lot of people are already decorating the house and getting a christmas tree. Time to make the house feel cosy and warm and of course watch Christmas movies together. But which are the best ones?

The goal of this new relay race is to find an answer to that question. The rules are, just like the past relay races (which I did ages ago), very simple: The list has 10 Christmas movies (in random order) and when the baton is handed over to a new blogger, he or she has to remove one title of the list (with an explanation why) and add one new title. Once that is done a new blogger is contacted who will take the baton and run with it, doing the same (you can reinstate a title which has been previously removed). As Christmas is in three weeks I want to ask you to publish your entry as quickly as possible to make sure the list changes as much as possible before the 25th of December. Add the logo of this relay race to your post and also add links to those who came before you making it easy for everyone to find all the entries. Now on to the initial 10 movies! Continue reading

The movie was released over here last month, so it is a strange experience to watch a Chritmas movie in May, but I was curious if this was a comedy worth watching. Continue reading
