Must watch Christmas Movies- Lifestyle A Christmas Carol (1938) 'A Christmas Carol' is one of the all-time hits, based on the festival. Although the story told by 'A Christmas Carol' has been redone for a number of times, the version filmed in the movie has touched millions of hearts. It remains one of the classic Christmas movies. Produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and directed by Edwin L. Marin, Reginald Owen played the lead role of 'A Christmas Carol' (1938). The movie is an adaptation of Charles Dickens's novelette. It's A Wonderful Life (1946) Another classic Christmas movie, 'It's a Wonderful Life' is a story about a man facing the hardships of life. The 1946 movie was produced and directed by Frank Capra, with the star cast including James Stewart and Donna Reed. The film is loosely based on the story "The Greatest Gift", authored by Philip Van Doren Stern. If you want to watch a family entertainer on Christmas, then this movie is what you need. The film is listed as one of the all-time hit Christmas movies. A Christmas Story (1983) To share lighter moments with your loved ones, you may watch a classic comedy, this Christmas. The Bob Clark film 'A Christmas Story' would serve the purpose. Peter Billingsley, Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon fitted into the lead roles of the film. It is the narration of a young boy during the 1940s, which tells us his experience in the holidays, leading up to Christmas and ultimately, Christmas day itself. The story has been written in the point of view of the child. Home Alone (1990) 'Home Alone', a Chris Columbus movie, is based on the adventures of a mischievous boy Kevin McCalister (Macaulay Culkin), alone at home during the holiday season, when his big family leaves for a vacation. Although the film doesn't depict any legendary character, nor does it tell a Christmas story, it gives you the feel of the festival. Thus, it makes itself one of the all-time hit Christmas movies. If you want to laugh out loudly with your family, then 'Home Alone' is a must-watch, during the festive season. The Santa Clause (1994) Released by Walt Disney Pictures in 1994, the English movie 'The Santa Clause' is truly a family entertainer. The comedy flick features Tim Allen as a divorced father - Scott Calvin and his spoilt brat son, Charlie (Eric Lloyd). The movie catches the real essence of Christmas and invokes the festive spirits in its audience. The legendary character Santa Claus is depicted in this movie. Hence, 'The Santa Clause is a must-watch during the holiday season. The Story behind Santa Clause- Lifestyle The matter of Santa Claus being a mythological character is often debatable. While some people claim that Santa was once a real character who has now been made fictional with mythological tales and stories, many others claim that Santa was never real and is the result of the commercialization of Christmas. Several similar characters are also popular in Europe and other parts of the world. Santa

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS AROUND THE WORLD THE MOST CURIOUS CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS IN THE WORLD With the arrival of Christmas comes that time of the year to decorate the house with lights, put up the Christmas tree and sing Christmas carols. And what do they do in other countries? In this article, you can discover the traditions of other parts of the world. Christmas the typical tradition for the Spanish may seem strange to others, but the ones I bring you today will also surprise you. Here you will discover the most curious Christmas customs and traditions in the world, it is very interesting to know the celebrations depending on the country. Surely more than one of the ones that I am going to tell you about, let's go there! Christmas traditions around the world Although it is hard for us to believe, many Spanish Christmas traditions are not celebrated equally in the rest of the planet. There are even countries that don't even celebrate Christmas and others that take the opportunity to eat up to 12 different dishes on Christmas Eve (although we almost do it too). Do you want to know more about these curiosities? Keep reading and I'll tell you. 1. The “Santa Claus” of the Netherlands and Belgium – Sinterklaas Did you know that Santa Claus does not come to the Netherlands? On December 5, Sinterklass rides with his assistant Zwarte Piet through the country, distributing gifts and sweets. According to what they say, 3 weeks before Sinterklaas leaves Spain and arrives at the Dutch port. Lately, the last Saturday of November arrives where that afternoon the children leave a letter at the door of the house with what they want and the next day they find sweets and chocolates. And on December 5, if they have been good, they will be able to open their gifts and celebrate that day with their family. Moral of the story: the Dutch love to eat chocolate. On the other hand, Christmas day is very important for Catholics, many families go to church and the same thing happens in Belgium. 2 . Christmas Day in Ukraine and Russia When is Christmas exactly? It is always on December 24, right? In principle, yes, but not in all countries. For some Orthodox Christians, it is January 6, which happens in Ukraine, Christmas Day is a traditional holiday with 12 different wishes, one for each of Jesus' apostles. In Ukraine they receive gifts on New Year's Day, in Russia Christmas is on January 7th. Oh, and Christmas trees in Ukraine might look more like Halloween, as they are covered in spider webs and fake spiders. Neither Santa Claus nor Saint Nicholas comes here as in many Eastern countries, in Russia Ded Moroz and Snegurochka come. During Christmas, they eat a lot, sing and of course, the Christmas tree cannot be missing, the only different thing is the different dates since their calendar is based on the Julian calendar and not the Gregorian one. 3. Christmas markets in Germany 3. Christmas markets in Germany Christmas is one of the most beautiful times of the year to
