Today I am breaking down all things movies for your viewing pleasure on Christmas day! This is one of my all-time favorite traditions we have always done in my family. We spend the morning opening gifts and playing with gifts then we make a big breakfast and head downstairs to spend the rest of the day relaxing and watching movies. We each usually get a new movie as a gift so that helps us pick what we are gonna watch. It’s always been one of my favorite days of the year! Now let’s talk movies!

First, you’ll need to pick a genre for your movie. Are you feeling something romantic, traditional, or maybe funny? Do you want to watch a series, a black & white film or a musical? Once you’ve decided on a genre, find the list below and maybe check out the trailer if you haven’t seen it before!
