Since everyone else is, I thought I would share some of my favorite Christmas albums and films. They are:
Albums
"Charlie Brown Christmas"- Vince Guaraldi Trio
This is some of the most beautiful renditions of Christmas music I've heard. Guaraldi is a masterful piano player, playing poignantly and expressively. With a laid-back feel, this album was instantly put you in a good mood, at ease, and ready for Christmas Day.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Technically this is an artist, not an album. Nonetheless, they are amazing. Tons of technical electric guitar leads and amazing orchestral arrangements that make you want to head-bang to "Silent Night".
Films
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"
By far, my personal favorite of the franchise of films. Great lines, great slapstick, and one awesome sledding scene.
"The Christmas Story"
A classic, I feel like everyone should see this at least once. A simple story of one kid's pursuit to gain his dream gift, and once again proves the theory that if you put your tongue on a frozen pole/piece of metal, it will stick.
"Die Hard"
Possibly the manliest Christmas movie ever made. Who doesn't want to see Bruce Willis take out an entire terrorist organization in one night? And yes, it is a Christmas movie, just watch it and you will see.
If you haven't seen/listened to any of this, it is imperative that you do so. NOW.
