Favorite Christmas Movie

It has begun! This wonderful season we like to call Christmas. Christmas day of course is not until Dec. 25 but you will not go into any store in the next month and not hear Christmas music. Your neighbors will be putting up their Christmas lights or turning on the Christmas lights that they left hanging from last year. People will on one hand be very generous while on the other hand they will go MMA on a person for that Prize Parking spot at the mall.
I love the Christmas movies that will flood the TV
stations over the next month. My favorites are It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story, and Elf.
For the next few weeks we will be using different Christmas movies as illustrations in our services. This morning we used Elf to show how some times the trappings of the holidays can lead to disappointment.
- Are there things about the Christmas season that stress you out?
- What things could you do differently this year that would help you to keep a proper and healthy Christ centered focus this Christmas season?
- What is your favorite Christmas movie of all time? (post a reply here to this question or on my FB page and I will give the results in a couple of weeks)
