No Place Like Movies at Home: Meet Me in St. Louis

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love it because everyone is, normally, happy and having  good time. I love it cause I love buying presents for the people that I love! I love finding them in like July and tormenting people for months about it until the wonderful morning of Christmas comes around. There are many other reasons that I love Christmas but one of them is Christmas traditions. My mom and I make these sugar cookies, that usually only get made out of this time of year, that are from my Great-Great Grandma. Another tradition is my mom makes Chicken Kyiv on Christmas Eve. However, I love watching all of the best Christmas movies from this time of year. So, I did a mini marathon. So, I will write them all and post one a day for the next four days to get caught back up!

We will start off with a true classic Meet Me in St. Louis.

This is the story of a normal family living in St. Louis in 1903. The family is very excited because The World's Fair is going to be hosted by the city the next year. The movie follows a normal family through normal life during the time. They fall in love, they get angry, they argue, but ultimately love each other no matter what. 

I mean I have said over and over again the simplicity of the story is what makes it a good story. Many people now a day think that everything has to be over dramatic, and everything as to have action and adventure. When real stories touch the heart more than the over done. This movie is also a musical and just makes it all the better me. However, it's not a Christmas movie it's usually played at Christmas because of the phenomenal Christmas segment in the movie. It's also the premiere of the song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". It's memorable because it's the climax of the whole movie and it's such a wonderful movie. 

I know that I have also talked about this movie before cause I made Alaina watch way back when.  However, it's so good you can always talk about it. I also loved that I got to watch with my mom, well half of it, on Christmas wit her.  It's one of my all time favorite movies and I can't wait to watch it again!
