d v l13 ai f e∙ a n d∙ i c e∙ CHRISTMASTIME is HERE! What better way to get into the spirit of good cheer than a great movie with your loved ones? Here is a list of movies to help bring in the spirit and the Christmas feel-goods that celebrate our faith and values, along with accompanying verses. 7. The Muppets Christmas Carol A favorite of many, this film depicts the familiar tale of Scrooge in only that special way the Muppets can. Seeing Scrooge being able to face his ghosts is reminiscent of how we should mirror our own past, present, and future, and how just a little faith, especially around Christmas time, can change it all. Accompany verse: 1 Corinthians 6:12 CHANGE SCRIPTURE 6. The Polar Express Many would think that this movie doesn’t have Christianity in it all – and perhaps on some level, it doesn’t, but there is a theme in here that we can all relate to; the power of believing. The children’s innocence and unwavering faith is a reminder of our Christian roots, and this movie makes for a heartwarming takeaway. Accompanying verse: Matthew 18:3 5. A Charlie Brown Christmas What is the true meaning of Christmas? While the movie doesn’t ultimately delve into the history of Christmas and why we celebrate it, the movie leads up to a heartwarming ending that lets us reflect on what it’s truly all about. And who doesn’t love singing along to the classic songs with Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Company? Add something about Linus line about what Christmas is about. Accompanying verse: Luke 2:8-10 4. Home Alone 2: Lost In New York The follow-up to the classic original, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York carries a popular theme that resembles a very popular parable in the Bible. Remember the Prodigal Son? Set during Christmas time, the movie resembles many points from the Prodigal Son that are important to reflect on during Christmas. Accompanying verses: Luke 15:11-32 3. Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas The transformation on a Grinch made the list? Yes, believe that there is a Christian element we can take from this film! Little Cindy Lou’s character and ability to see the good in the Grinch is something we as Christians try to do with others. That, along with the Grinch’s ability to find love is something to be embrace! Accompanying verse: 2 Corinthians 5:1 2. The Nativity Story This is a powerful film that truly tries to depict both a Biblical and historic venture into the birth of Jesus Christ. While not as whimsical as the other films listed, it’s a poignant one that provides a deeper look into the heart of Joseph and Mary’s journey as they prepare for the birth of Jesus Christ. Accompanying verse: Matthew 1:21 1. It’s A Wonderful Life This is an ultimate film favorite of many households and may be on your traditional list of movies to sink into already. When you watch it again, consider their family values, their struggle, along with their faith. An uplifting film that is a sure family classic! Accompanying verse: Matthew 5:3
