Christmas Eve DVD

[ScatterChasse]

Every year in the Chasse household, on Christmas Eve there are two little parcels left on the hearth. One's a Christmas DVD and the other is a bag of popcorn, and we all watch it together.

This year, it's my turn to buy the DVD, so I'm looking for inspiration! What are your favourite Christmas films? (Age doesn't really matter, as the youngest is my DB who's 14, but we all enjoyed the Polar Express last year )

Have you seen Nativity! ? That's brilliant, we watched it last year and it's definitely become a firm favourite.

Oh yes, Nativity is fab! Took DD to see it when it was in the cinema! Really lovely and very Christmassy.

Elf is brilliant.

Also fab are:

Muppet's Christmas Carol
Elf
Home Alone
The Polar Express (we watched this last year)
The Snowman/Father Christmas
Santa Clause: The Movie
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (PG)

Elf or National Lampoons christmas vacation

Nativity - such a joyous film.

Die Hard for the grown ups!

Ooh, we haven't seen Nativity, it sounds just right

We had White Christmas the year before last which was lovely. Even better, because it did snow on Christmas Eve

Elf's really funny!

We're going for Nativity this year too

The Santa clause is fantastic!

Love Actually. We often watching it on Chritsmas Eve and I think it's a lovely film

DB refuses to watch Love Actually! He thinks bits of it namely people kissing are really embarrassing.

Elf's great. I thought we may have to start rotating, but it looks like there are plenty of Christmassy films left

Another vote for Nativity! My new fave.

Elf is very funny.

I love Love Actually as a Christmas film! Holiday with Kate Winslet/Cameron Diaz also v good but - again - lots of people kissing!

Oh, and Bridget Jones (the first one) - starts and ends at Christmas.

Am off to have a look at Nativity on Amazon ...

The grinch
muppets xmas carol i love this
scrooge albert finney version

Bad Santa is great if you don't mind a bit of effing and jeffing

Nativity has some really good reviews on Amazon.

Don't wish to hijack, but do you think a 4 and a 6 year old would enjoy it?

We'll be watching the animated Scrooge with Jim Carrey (minus DCs)

Muppet Christmas Carol!!
We watch it every Christmas eve, its fab.

Nativity is really good, DCs loved it, funny with just enough Christmas cheesiness!

I can't go to bed on Christmas eve till I've watched The Snowman!

Lola Nativity is good for all ages, theres humour at all levels. My daughter was 6, and me and DP also laughed loads. :)

Watching popcorn...now that's a new one on me

Elf and Miracle on 34th Street are favourites in this house.

Oh and how could I forget It's a Wonderful Life!

It's a Wonderful Life

We have a lovely afternoon on Christmas eve watching this - mil, SIL, dd, dh and I.

With a big chocolate Yule log.

Time to resurrect Home Alone for the next generation?
