For A Reel Cinema @ Home our yuletide spirit begins as soon as our Black Friday Shopping is complete on Cyber Monday. That’s why this year’s list is 26 days instead of 25 days.
After a vigorous weekend of shopping, we remove our burlap, bales, and bling theme decorations. We give our house a deep cleaning to start the Christmas season on a clean slate. It takes us a full week to transition from Thanksgiving decorations to Christmas decorations because we have obsessive, compulsive holiday decorating habits.
As we transition from Thanksgiving décor to Christmas décor, two things are sure to happen in our home theater. We will listen to the “Temptations” Christmas album and we will watch the “This Christmas” movie. The Temptations and This Christmas are holiday staples that go hand-in-hand to start our holiday season off right.
We would describe ourselves as Christmas traditionalists. We like multiple Christmas trees, chestnuts, eggnog, garland, wreaths, tons of holiday lights, and unrelenting versions of Baby It’s Cold Outside. Our Christmas traditions include a bounty of good food, festive decorations, appreciating our blessings, and a long list of holiday movies.
During this holiday season and more than once, we will curl up under a warm blanket, drink hot chocolate eggnog lattes, and watch Christmas movies. Christmas movies bring happiness to our humble home theater. We don’t have time to watch all the Christmas movies in our physical and digital media collections. We like to rotate our watch list every year to keep it fresh and new.
Keep in mind our home theater motto is “Beer Pockets with Champagne Dreams.” Home theater and movie fans don’t have to break the bank purchasing all the movies listed below. Your local library will have many, if not all, of these titles in stock and free to check out. Most home theater fans already have a Netflix, Hulu, and Disney Plus subscription. A plethora of Christmas movies can be viewed on those platforms. You can read our article, How to Watch Movies At Home Without Spending A Dime for details on how to ball on a budget.
Enjoy 26 fun nights of home theater movie watching. We have done all the work so you don’t have to. You’re welcome!
We wish you a Merry Christmas! Always remember Jesus is the reason for the season.
