Ready to get into the holiday mood, then these 10 movies are the best ones to watch, before the eggnog runs out.

1. Sixteen Candles (1984) Starring: Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall

   Although, this is not a Christmas movie, it is one movie that seems to start airing around the holidays. Watching a bunch of nerdy teenagers chase love while consistently creating goof ball situations that are embarrassingly funny.

2. The Breakfast Club (1985) Starring: Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy

   The first time that I ever seen this movie was three days before Christmas and every year since it has become a Christmas tradition in our family. This movie also triggers childhood memories for those of us that actually went to school during the 1980's.

3. The Scrooge (1970) Starring: Albert Finney, Alec Guinness

   While there were three Scrooge movies made since 1935, the Scrooge that was released in 1970, has best told the story of the Scrooge. The music, singing and acting in this movie is beautifully performed. Reminds me of my late grandfather and I sitting up late and watching the movie together.

4. Rudolph (1964) Starring: Burl Ives, Alfie Scopp

   The adventure of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer in the original 1964 movie is one of the fondest Christmas movies from my childhood. While not as polished as the movies made today, this movie has endured the test of time and continues to bring Christmas cheer to children all over the world each and every year.

5. Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) Starring: Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara

   In 1993, while visiting the local video rental store, I was in a weird mood and rented this strange Christmas movie that filled the house with laughter. Now, it has become part of our Christmas movie tradition.

6. White Christmas (1954) Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby

   White Christmas is a beautiful movie starring some of most gifted actors and entertainers of the era. The song and dance routines are spot on and wonderfully enjoyable. Best of all, the presence of the holidays can be felt everywhere.

7. Frosty The Snowman (1969) Starring: Jimmy Durante, Jackie Vernon

   I still get goose bumps when I am reminded of this Christmas classic that is a very big part of my childhood Christmas memories.

8. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) Starring: Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo

   Spending a Christmas Eve with the Griswold's family is a delightful treat that continues to tickle the funny bone with all sorts of kooky goof ups and dysfunctional family reunions that somehow manages to fit perfectly in the end.

9. Miracle On 34th Street (1947) Starring: Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Edmund Gwenn, Gene Lockhart, and Natalie Wood

   This endearing Christmas movie has moved the hearts of millions of movie watchers since the year of its release. Daring to believe in something miraculous like Santa Clause as six-year-old little girl named Susan and receiving her miracle from a chance encounter with a department store Santa. This is a must see, so to put you in the Christmas spirit.

10. A Christmas Story (1983) Starring: Melinda Dillon, Peter Billingsley

    The ultimate Christmas movie is “A Christmas Story” and not only will it start feeling like Christmas, but it will put a smile on your face as you watch the hilarious mishaps that has infected this family. The BB Gun scene is wonderful and the dog eating the turkey is tearfully funny. And, it's almost that time of the year again to curl up on the couch and sipping on a warm cup of cocoa, while watching “A Christmas Story” with good friends and family.
