Christmas Cartoons, Movies, and Specials to watch over the Holidays

  Well, right now as I am typing this in Ohio with the temperature in the 50's it doesn't feel like it's a White Chirstmas outside, but it helps that since Christmas is getting closer to look at some of the Best Christmas Cartoons, Movies, and Specials to watch over the Holiday Season. Now in the last blog I listed the worst chirstmas movies, specials, and cartoons to watch. Well, here now is the best starting with cartoons.

CARTOONS

5.) A Garfield Christmas (1987) 

   -Garfield, Odie, and their owner Jon go to Jon's family for a down on the farm Christmas. Funny Garfield humor mixed in the message of spending time and importance of family at Christmas.

4. ) Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales (1979)

- Funny Looney Tunes Christmas related cartoons. You can watch them on YouTube.

3.) A Claymation Christmas Celebration (1987)

 -Awesome christmas special that has 6 musical numbers with stop motion animation. It features The California Raisins, but everyone of those musical shorts are great especially this one. Giving you a sneak peak. Watch the rest on YouTube.

2. )  Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

- I bet everyone has read the book or has seen this TV special about the Grinch who is sick of the Whos celebrating Christmas and decides to dress as Santa and steal it from them. But, he learns that Christmas is more than gifts and decorations when he hears the Whos sing as they awake on Christmas!

and the best Christmas Cartoon of ALL TIME is of Course. Drum Roll............................

1.) A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

-An All-Time Classic. Charlie Brown isn't happy during Christmas with all the commercialism. Lucy gets him involved in directing the Christmas Play but everyone goofs off. They decide to get a Christmas tree. But, Charlie Brown gets the smallest and weakest tree in the Tree lot and everyone makes fun of him. He gives up hope until Linus reassures him by telling what Christmas is truly about.

Right there are those cartoons you must see at Christmas time if you watch any I highly recommend it.

As for Movies I could go on but I don't want to waste too much of the blog or free time so I just give you all a list of movies to watch around Christmas time.

- White Christmas (I showed the movie poster above in the blog)
- A Christmas Story (Ralphie wants a gun)
- Home Alone
- Elf  ( SANTA, I KNOW HIM)
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

- Die Hard (Ok not a christmas movie persay but the guy saves peoples lives during a christmas party in a L.A. building during Christmas season)

- and anything Muppets related, that would include A Muppets Christmas Carol, Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas, and John Denver & The Muppets Special: A Christmas Together
