It spreads love all around and explores love in different kinds of relationships.

Adapted into numerous cinematic versions from Charles Dickens’ classic novel, it is a tale that is symbolic to Christmas lore. On our list we have put the 2009 version with Jim Carrey. Like all others, Disney succeeds in bringing Scrooge and his cynicism to life in this version as well.

5. Miracle on 34th Street

One of the perennial Christmas favourites, the cynics who refute the existence of Santa Claus should certainly give it a watch. This movie is sentimental and manipulative and comes out to be a solid family feature that makes it difficult to dislike. The movie has been made twice-in 1947 and 1994 for two different generations but it never loses out it blissful Christmas appeal.

So get on with all that visual celebration! Oh. We almost forgot. Merry Christmas! 😀

When asked to describe myself, I simply wonder what static thing to tell about me because I believe life is always a perpetual self exploring journey. I take as gospel the fact that books are written to be treasured, movies and tv series to be revered and entertain and music to be cherished for a blissful course to take delights in our lives.
