Favorite movies that are set around the holidays

Yeah, Yeah, we all know people LOVE Christmas movies like Christmas Vacation, It's A Wonderful Life, and Christmas Story. But what about movies that aren't necessarily holiday movies, but take place around the holiday season?

Here are some of my faves:

List yours!

Ack. I can't see my first one, so here it is again.

I like Meet Me in St Louis. The plot spans over a few months but I always think of it as a Christmas time movie.

Does Home Alone count?

Yes! That's a movie you can watch year round.

I love Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire - we watched it last Friday! It's the movie in which the song "White Christmas" first appeared. They later made a movie called White Christmas, but I don't think it's as good as Holiday Inn.

The Holiday with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black. LOVE that movie!

Love Actually! It is a holiday movie, though. It was the first movie DH and I saw together almost exactly 10 years ago

The Harry Potter moves and the Lord of the Rings movies always make me think of Christmas since that's when they were released. I combo'd present shopping at the mall with seeing them in the theatre.
