- I like this movie because the humor is very comical and it simply makes me laugh. It’s also very nostalgic because I used to watch it with my mom and siblings as a kid.
Taylor Koch (12) – The Holiday
- I chose this movie because I like how realistic it is and how fun it is to watch. The actors are really funny and overall, the casting makes the movie really great. Due to its realism, I’m able to relate to it.
Miryam Weinfurtner (12) – Christmas Vacation
- This movie has become a cultural thing in my household and we quote it all the time in terms of making jokes and making each other laugh.
Nikolai Burchell (12) – Polar Express
- I like it because it’s very entertaining and I think that it really captures the true meaning of Christmas. I also like the bell concept in the film which ensures that children will continue to believe in the Christmas spirit.
Davina Robinson (12) – Krampus
- This movie is my favorite because I like how it ties horror elements into the Christmas spirit and I also like how it ties German holiday traditions into American holiday traditions.
Brailyn Hudnall (9) – Elf
- Because I think it’s funny and it constantly has things happening. In simpler terms, it’s not a boring movie and that’s why I like it. I just enjoy holiday films that include a lot of comedy. Plus, I think Will Ferrell is a comedy genius.
TEACHER/STAFF RESPONSES:
Ms. Daniel (English Teacher) – Bad Santa
- I like this film because it’s hilarious and I don’t typically don’t like Christmas movies and this fits my personality. I also think that Billy Bob Thornton is a good actor.
Mrs. Carter (English Teacher) – Charlie Brown Christmas
- This film puts me in the Christmas spirit and I really love the idea that Christmas should be about the simple things and not the commercialism. This movie really depicts this narrative.
Ms. Emanuel (Registrar) – Christmas Vacation
- I think this movie is very funny and it’s complete wholesome entertainment.
Mrs. Mendoza (Attendance Clerk) – The Christmas Chronicles
- I love this movie because my daughter loves it and I enjoy watching it with my kids. It generates happiness in the household and it keeps them believing in Santa.
Mr. Clark (English Teacher) – It’s a Wonderful Life
- It’s because it makes you stop and think about the impact that you’ve made in someone’s life.
