Do you guys have movies that you just have to watch around the holidays? You know, movies that aren't actually Christmas movies; but they still put you in the holiday spirit. That's what these movies are to me.
Edward Scissorhands
came out at Christmas time, but it doesn't take place just in the winter. Still, the ice sculptures get me in the holiday mood every time! (and the DVD is on sale at Amazon for $4.99, just click the link)

Ok, Love Actually
TOTALLY takes place at Christmas time. I know. But it's not about Christmas. It's about love. It breaks my heart and then melts it. I look forward to this movie so much....and I've already watched it once this season. Also, the turtlenecks are spectacular as you can clearly see here.

Little Women
is one of my all-time favorite books and the movie version with Winona Ryder as Jo is the best. It's about sisters and they have the most glorious winter in the movie. I just love it! I may have to break out the book again soon. Oh! It's also the movie I remember Christian Bale from. Screw Batman, he's always Laurie to me. And I just realized Winona made this list twice. Can you tell I grew up in the 90's? Ha!

If you haven't seen Serendipity
, you're missing out! It's romantic. It's John Cusack. It's New York. AND it makes everyone want to visit Serendipity3 for frozen hot chocolate.

Ok, I know this last one doesn't look like it fits in this category. It totally does. It starts on Christmas Eve, but spans the entire year with song & dance numbers. It's also the film that originally introduced the song White Christmas
. I like the movie White Christmas
, but it doesn't come close to the way I feel about Holiday Inn
. I mean, come ON! It's Fred Astaire!

Do you have any movies that you MUST watch during the holiday season that aren't Christmas movies? I'd love to hear what they are!
