\u00a0It\u2019s that time of the year.\u00a0 The time when you\u2019re supposed to smell hot chocolate and mint in the air, or when you feel the imaginary snowflakes falling gently on your skin. Or at this time in age, when you hear them 3 gift items you bought from Walmart rise up to $200.00. \u00a0 That, Time. Of. The. Year.\u00a0<\/span>So, that means you also know that it\u2019s the time of the year when you yell at that certain person who\u2019s playing all of the Home Alone back-to-back at the break of dawn.\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Well, I guess I\u2019m the only one. <\/span>Don\u2019t worry though, I\u2019m not lonely because today I\u2019m joining the side of the people who live and breathe to watch these movies during December, but instead of watching them, I\u2019m going to talk about my favorites that are well known and some that aren\u2019t well known \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure most of us had seen this classic with Jim Carrey voicing Scrooge.\u00a0 <\/span>But like I always say, it\u2019s okay if you didn\u2019t and I don\u2019t mind summing this up for\u00a0<\/span>you.\u00a0 This is Disney\u2019s adaptation of the story that has been interpreted almost a hundred different ways, the story about the man that is visited by his ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future so that he can get his life together before dying miserably not knowing the purpose of Christmas. \u00a0 I personally think that the graphics put a real good eerie vibe to the story and the plot taught me well. \u00a0 I also want to say that until I was in about 7th grade, watching this movie with the lights off was so scary to me, it was Horror movie level to me.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Don\u2019t laugh! (For those who are snickering with their eyebrows) that scene with Marley still gives me shivers today, especially when the scene is blasting loudly in your earbuds.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Point is, I think everyone should watch this at least once during Christmas break, while I watch this about 300 times.\u00a0 (That\u2019s just me though, I have no choice but to, with a certain Home Alone super fan I know.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my gosh.\u00a0 I know I\u2019ve watched this so many times because of my sisters and I don\u2019t even like watching Rom\/Coms, but I adored this one. Also yes, it\u2019s PG-13 and yes, I watched it at eight but like it didn\u2019t do anything really.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Any who, this movie is a modern spin on Scrooge\/ Christmas Carol classic story, where instead of getting visited by ghosts symbolically, he actually gets visited by his past, present, and future ex-girlfriends that he has actually dated. \u00a0 I promise this lighthearted movie is so funny, I mean listen to this plot:\u00a0 A serial womanizer is haunted by the ghosts of his past girlfriends at his brother\u2019s wedding. \u00a0 Also, I think the wife is one of his ex-girlfriend\u2019s) and that one Uncle is in there too.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>I know right, the tea.\u00a0 I know it may sound cliche, but it\u2019s not cliche at all and it\u2019s so sweet, and to me all of it was fantastic.\u00a0 Also, if you\u2019re worried that it\u2019s an overworked plot and that everything is going to be expected, you can relax now because it has a different theme than most of those movies, and if you need a little bit more convincing, here\u2019s the cast list for those who may know these people:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
