About the movies:

1 is about 4 kids, who plan to catch Santa Claus using technology, traps and much more. This movie inspires me and my brother to capture St Nick on Christmas Eve / Day. Last Christmas me and my brother tried but all we found was a sleighs shadow in our back garden and bells jingling. In the end, Santa’s sleigh breaks down and the kids help, but because of them seeing Santa the Christmas magic reduces and they have to delete every bit of data before it’s too late!

2 is very similar to no.3 because it has a snowman and a boy, who see Santa at night but in this one he builds a snow dog and they both come to life. In the end of both movies, the Snowman / Snow dog melts. Its a sad and happy Christmas film.

4 (because done both 2 and 3) is about what Santa does before and after Christmas like reading the children’s mail sent to him from different countries, making and packing the toys into his sack, fixing his sleigh, buying his costume then he can relax and enjoy a perfect holiday of fun. In this hilarious movie, Santa is very grumpy so do not believe that he is in real life.

5 is a bit scary and very enjoyable! Tim Burton-created, Henry Selick-directed stop-motion classic about a Halloween takeover of Christmas, which is usually the first yuletide movie everybody watches in the run-up to 25 December. Mainly because you can also watch it on 31 October.

6 is about the McCallister family Christmas holiday checklist: tickets – check. Presents – check. Children – oh, bugger. Don’t worry, folks. Abandoned Kevin (Macauley Culkin) is too busy reinventing Christmas as a child’s playground of bed jumping and burglar bashing.

7 is a Dr. Seuss’ fable about a misanthropic creature (Jim Carrey) who plots to steal the Christmas gifts from the inhabitants of Whoville. The Grinch is a nasty green creature who lives inside a cave atop Mount Crumpit, overlooking the village of Whoville. As the Whos of Whoville frantically prepare for their yuletide celebrations, the Grinch decides to put a stop to Christmas once and for all, and steals all their presents and decorations on Christmas Eve… only to finally come to learn that the true spirit of Christmas goes deeper than tinsel and toys.

8 is Robert Zemeckis brings his mo-cap expertise to bear in the ingenious decision to have Jim Carrey play the three ghosts as well as Ebenezer Scrooge. A lifetime of memory condensed into one stunning 12-minute take, as the Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge what he gave up in pursuit of wealth.

9 It doesn’t matter whether it’s 19th Century London or 1980s Manhattan, there will always be humbugs like Frank Cross (Bill Murray) who need to have their worldview changed by the Christmas ghosts. Frank goes mad with joy, live on air, by preaching to his audience to switch off their sets and spend Christmas with their loved ones.

10 See, this is what happens when you ask for an unusual Christmas present – a horde of malicious critters destroying your picture-postcard town. Moral of the story: shop at Argos next year. Where else is the final battle between cuddly Mogwai Gizmo and chief Gremlin Stripe going to take place at this time of year? In a department store, as would-be stocking fillers are put to uses their manufacturers never anticipated.

Those are some of my favourite movies but there are more like Get Santa, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Bad Santa and lots more, but it’s up to you what movie you watch on Christmas Eve near your warm fire place relaxing before a visit from St Nick! 

Merry Christmas
