The one movie I always think of when I think of Christmas is How the Grinch Stole Christmas - the version with Jim Carrey. My family and I have been watching it together for as long as I can remember. No matter how many times I watch it, it always makes me laugh. And now that we've seen it so many times, my family and I usually quote half the movie together! I especially love when we watch the movie together after we've gone out and gotten our Christmas tree. Once the tree is decorated and all lit up, we'll put on the movie.
Back when all of my siblings still lived at home, we would all have to cram into the room together. We'd take up pretty much every seat there was, and it always gave me a great sense of closeness. It's one of the reasons why I have such fond memories of the movie - because of how it kind of brought my family close when we watched it. But even now that two of my siblings are living in different states, I still like to watch the movie with family that remains nearby. And now that Jed has married into the family, it's nice to have someone to cuddle up to while I watch it. The first time we watched it together, he proved just how perfect he is for me when he ended up quoting all of my favorite parts along with me! Even when it's not Christmastime, Jed and I will often quote some of the funnier parts of the movie to each other.
The movie has also become somewhat of a debate in my family. Whenever we bring up watching 'The Grinch' it always becomes a friendly argument with my step-dad about which movie is better. He loves the classic, while I (and at least a few other members of my family) prefer the Jim Carrey version. Sometimes we'll humor my step-dad and watch the classic before we watch the newer movie.
I can't remember a Christmas in the past few years when we haven't watched the movie together. I usually end up watching it a couple of times, once right near the beginning of the season and then again when Christmas really starts drawing near. I feel like it's become a sort of tradition for us to watch the movie together. So whenever we're together during this time of the year, and someone asks if we all want to watch a movie together, I always hope it will be How the Grinch Stole Christmas. And when it becomes December, I know it won't be too long before we end up watching it.
