It's hard to miss the classic Holiday films constantly playing on TV this month.  While we will forever love Home Alone and White Christmas, we highly suggest these sometimes overlooked, but always hilarious Holiday Comedies:



Scrooged:  In this hilarious adaptation of A Christmas Carol, Bill Murray plays Frank Cross, a selfish and cynical TV executive who gets haunted by three spirits on Christmas Eve.


In Elf, Will Ferrell plays Buddy: a human raised by elves at the North Pole.  Buddy is unaware that he is human, but his enormous size and poor toy-making skills set him apart from the other elves.  When Buddy finds out that he is human, he heads to New York City to find his real father - who happens to be on the naughty list.  Completely ignorant to human culture, Buddy experiences the delights of New York City as he throws a wrench in the life of his father.


Love Actually follows the lives of 8 pairs of people in London.  During the hectic few week leading up to Christmas, their lives are loosely interrelated as they all search for love in very different ways. 


Nativity!  Paul Maddens, the primary school teacher in charge of the Christmas play is feeling the pressure from a rival school.  He boasts that his ex-girlfriend, a Hollywood Producer, is going to turn his play into a film.  There's just one problem: they haven't spoken in years.  Maddens winds up a local celebrity as he desperately tries to get back in touch with his ex.
