Gather your family, pop some popcorn, and grab your snuggie! It’s time for a Holiday Movie Marathon! Here’s 
a list of memorable quotes from my top 10 favorite Christmas movies:
- It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) “You see George, you’ve really had a wonderful life. Don’t you see what a mistake it would be to just throw it away?” (Source)
- Miracle on 34th Street (1947) “Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don’t you see? It’s not just Kris that’s on trial, it’s everything he stands for. It’s kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles.” (Source)
- A Christmas Story (1983) Ralphie: “I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.” Santa: “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid” (Source)
- Home Alone (1990) “Keep the change, ya filthy animal!” (Source)
- Love Actually (2003) “Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion… love actually is all around.” (Source)
- National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989) “Where do you think you’re going? Nobody’s leaving. Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We’re all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We’re gonna press on, and we’re gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse.” (Source)
- The Santa Clause (1994) “The Santa Clause: In putting on the suit and entering the sleigh, the wearer waives any and all right to any previous identity, real or implied, and fully accepts the duties and responsibilities of Santa Claus, in perpetuity to which some time the wearer becomes unable to do so, by either accident or design.” (Source)
- The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (1966) “Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville – did not. The Grinch hated Christmas – the whole Christmas season. Now, please don’t ask why; no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or it could be that his head wasn’t screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.” (Source)
- A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) “Charlie Brown, you’re the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lucy’s right. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you’re the Charlie Browniest.” (Source)
- Elf (2003) “First we’ll make snow angels for two hours, then we’ll go ice skating, then we’ll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookie-dough as fast as we can, and then we’ll snuggle.” (Source)
