Just imagine, you are all snug wrapped up in a fluffy blanket by a cozy fire, sipping on steaming hot cocoa while watching Christmas classics with your family. The movie options are How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Home Alone. Which one will you pick?

How The Grinch Stole Christmas, a classic cartoon Christmas film since 1966 by Dr. Seuss, is the story of an outcasted character, the Grinch, who despised Christmas but later found that Christmas was worth celebrating. This film brings cozy and warm feelings to all its audience and is a great film to watch with all ages. My favorite scenes in the movie are the stealing of the gifts and the moment when the Grinch’s heart grows three times as big.

Another well-known Christmas movie, Home Alone, was released in 1990 and directed by Chris Colombus. The film stars a young boy named Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin, who gets accidentally left at home after his family flew to Paris on Christmas vacation. Home Alone is a great comedic movie with humor for matured family members. My favorite scenes are Kevin’s shopping trips and the moments he outsmarts the robbers.

Both How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Home Alone are great movies but for different audiences. How The Grinch Stole Christmas is an incredible choice for a younger and more innocent audience who like rhymes with made-up words and bright colors. Home Alone is for those who have a humor for pranks and are looking for something to laugh at.
