Bella Furst Week 6 | Watching Christmas Movies in October

Watching Christmas 

Movies in October

Stop watching Halloween movies for just a sec

Okay, so I know Halloween is right around the corner, but every year I always spend October watching Halloween movies. Call it a personal traditional, if you will, but I’m just tired of watching the same movies over and over again. I’ve seen Coraline, Monster House, Twitches, Franekweenie, Goosebumps, Hocus Pocus, and so many other movies just so many times and I’m getting a little bored. Well, maybe not Hocus Pocus, she’s too good for that, but anyways, I’ve been watching a ton of Christmas movies lately.

Last night I watched Klaus which is one of THE best Christmas movies, if you haven’t seen it yet. It’s on Netflix, but anyway, I ended up wrapping myself in blankets and drinking hot chocolate, ignoring all my homework for the night just to watch. It was really stress relieving and Christmas movies are almost always “feel good” films, so my brain just felt really at ease.

I’ve even started forcing my family to join me. My brother’s fiancée was dying my hair the other day and I forced her to sit through The Nightmare Before Christmas (which is technically a Halloween movie too, but shut up it’s my favorite movie) and The Grinch. Honestly? It’s been super refreshing and who knows? Maybe in December I’ll watch Halloween movies, but Christmas movies just hit differently. 

Bella’s List of Christmas Movies You Should Watch Because I Make The Best Lists

1. Klaus

2. A Charlie Brown Christmas

3. The Grinch (either version, both are great)

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

5. Rise of the Guardians (sort of an Easter(?) movie, but Jack Frost is there so it counts)

6. Edward Scissorhands

7. Gremlins

8. Home Alone

9. Krampus

10. Tokyo Godfathers (you’ve probably never heard of this but it’s a great movie!!)

(Get out of here with those sappy romance Christmas movies. Nobody wants that.)

What’s your favorite Christmas/Halloween movie?
