While picking the best Christmas movies for kids to watch, you could start with an all-out black-and-white classic, since it’s never too early to introduce 'em to It’s a Wonderful Life, or try one of the stop-motion animated Rankin/Bass specials, since there are a million of them, and they each have a little something that stokes those old nostalgic feelings. You might also debate for hours which version of A Christmas Carol is the best one (although it’s obviously the one with Mickey Mouse). You can choose your favorite Grinch: Chuck Jones, Jim Carrey, or Benedict Cumberbatch — or even find one of the newer Christmas offerings and see if they stack up against the movies you remember from your childhood. The last option: try all of the above and set up a mega-queue of Christmas movies for kids that’ll last you from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. (Clearly, that’s the best option.) When deciding which ones to add to your holiday-movie marathon, consider our favorite Christmas movies for kids.

"Christmas is the greatest day in the whole wide world," once said a very wise man named Buddy the Elf. Us Christmas addicts can agree with that statement. Christmas is the greatest day in the whole wide world, but it seems to come and go so fast. Then comes the dreaded long time period of cold winter that lacks the joy of Christmas lights, classic movies, and an overall feeling of joy. Here are the five stages of the horrible PCD (Post Christmas Depression) that comes along after every Christmas season.
What goes into becoming Saint Nick? It takes more than just a red suit and white beard to don the title of Santa Claus.

Howard Santa Claus School has graduated thousands of Kris Kringles over its 80 years, teaching everything from beard grooming to caroling to child psychology.

Two-thirds of the top-ranked holiday songs of all time were written between 1941 and 1958. You have Bing Crosby, Irving Berlin and baby boomers to thank for that
This time of year, Run-D.M.C.’s Darryl McDaniels doesn’t like to leave the house. “I’m scared to go to the mall, because every five steps somebody’s screaming, ‘It’s Christmastime in Hollis, Queens!’ Kids, grandmothers, it’s crazy,” McDaniels says. “I can’t be going shopping till after Christmas.” Run-D.M.C.’s “Christmas in Hollis” is a modern holiday standard, making McDaniels a member of a vanishingly small club: Most lyricists of classic Christmas songs are dead. “Christmas in Hollis” was originally released in 1987, during a 10-year span that produced two other classics, Wham’s “Last Christmas” (1984) and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (1994). There hasn’t been an enduring holiday song released in the 20 years since. No one, not even such superstars as Taylor Swift, Coldplay or Beyoncé, has managed to turn a temporary seasonal hit into an evergreen since Carey’s tune. Some recent songs that showed promise, like Faith Hill’s “Where Are You Christmas?” or Justin Bieber’s “Mistletoe,” couldn’t survive their singers’ waning popularity. Others, like Christian group NewSong’s tearjerker-turned-novel-turned-TV-movie “The Christmas Shoes,” flamed out early.

(CNN) — Budapest is fast becoming one of Europe's leading travel destinations, especially in winter when Hungary's capital city truly comes to life. Offering a cozy winter atmosphere with romantic architectural creations, Budapest delivers a scene reminiscent of a classic Christmas movie. Rich in culture and steeped in tradition, winter here not only feels like a fairytale, it looks like one, too. An array of seasonal delights draw visitors from around the world to the "Pearl of the Danube," all chasing that magical travel experience. Its Christmas markets and outdoor ice skating rinks help to create a perfect winter wonderland, while the local spas and thermal baths offer a twist on outdoor bathing. But the pièce de résistance of the winter season has to be securing tickets for the latest performance at the renowned Hungarian State Opera House.
The nine-layer meal includes everything you need for a traditional Christmas dinner, including dessert. It starts with scrambled egg and bacon (maybe it’s intended for breakfast?). Then it moves down to two mince pies, turkey and potatoes, gravy, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, Brussel sprouts with stuffing or broccoli with stuffing, roast carrots and parsnips, and, to complete the meal, Christmas pudding.

Are you planning to visit New York during the holiday season? There is so much to see! Here are some things to do in New York at Christmas time.
The Yule Log, a looped video of a wood-burning fireplace set to classic Christmas songs, has been a holiday staple for more than 50 years. But in a TV landscape dominated by angry pundits and Real Housewives, how did the sleepy footage become such cherished Christmastime viewing? In 1966, Fred Thrower, the manager of WPIX-TV Channel 11 in New York City, wanted the station to do “something a little different and special” that Christmas Eve. On November 2, he circulated a memo to his station’s staff, proposing that the station cancel all programs and commercials in order to air a WPIX Christmas Card, consisting of a video loop of a holiday-inspired fireplace. Thrower also suggested asking WPIX’s affiliated radio station, WPIX-FM, to provide an accompanying festive soundtrack. Thrower’s concept came to life on December 24, 1966, when WPIX first aired three hours of a continuous 17-second film loop of an ornate fireplace. WPIX had filmed the fireplace at Gracie Mansion, the home of New York City’s mayor, and paired the film loop with Christmas hits from singers like Percy Faith and Nat King Cole. The Yule Log was a huge ratings success, and turning viewers’ TVs into makeshift fireplaces also turned out to be a win-win: New Yorkers in apartments without fireplaces could feel cozy and warm, and more WPIX employees could spend Christmas at home with their families instead of working at the station.
