As the hectic Christmas Holiday season approaches, there seems to be more free time for everyone else around us that, for some reason, we need to fill. Whether it be the kids home from school or out-of-town visitors milling around the house looking for something to do, while you still have to bake the cookies, wrap the presents, and begin preparations on the holiday ham. You simply don’t have time to be the host that you would like to be until the festivities commence.  Entertaining the kids or guests while you complete the finishing touches is key to keeping your sanity, and here is a list of the All-Time Greatest Christmas Movies to keep everyone occupied while you work on the Christmas cookies.
