Christmas Movies

This year we made the decision to cancel our cable subscription and I have yet to regret this decision.  We simply just do not watch that much television.  We cannot even keep up with the few major network shows that are on our DVR.  Several of which are still shows from last season. 

The time has come that I actually do regret this decision.  Only a tiny bit though.  There are a few Christmas movies that I try to make a point of watching every year and now the availability of said movies is quite limited.  They just don't show as many of them as I would like on the major networks.  Without TBS or ABC Family to turn to, I just don't know what to do?  I suppose I could rent them or just buy them, but that requires effort and money, which is just silly if you ask me. 

So here is my list of "Must See Christmas Movies".  These are in no particular order.

1. Miracle on 34th st.  (The old version) 
2. A Christmas Story (It's not Christmas without Ralphie!)
3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (The cartoon)
4. Christmas Vacation (Absolute classic.  Love this movie!!)
5. Home Alone (Definitely the first one and the second one is a maybe)
6. Elf (This is the only one that I have watched so far)
7. It's a Wonderful Life (Mainly I just need to see the last 20 minutes)
8. Charlie Brown Christmas
9. White Christmas (Breanne and I watched it before I proposed.  It's a must see every year)
10. The Santa Clause (I know it's cheezy, but I still like it.)

Any suggestions on how to economically achieve this?

What are your thoughts on my Christmas bucket list?

  1. Can you sign up for a free one month trial of Netflix? I don't know if they let you get the free trial if you have ever been a Netflix subscriber before, but I would check into it. Or the Christmas movies at Family Video are only $1.

  2. Netflix has JACK CRAP on instant queue which is really annoying...but they would obviously have dvds available for you. I would suggest looking at your library as well. Our library has a ton of christmas movies available! :) And it's FREE! The other non-free option is streaming via iTunes or Amazon. I know there are several holiday movies available on there, too, and I think most of them are about $3.
