My October watchlist didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted because I was so dumb-busy in October and I am still learning to organize my life.  It's an uphill battle, I swear.  So I decided to simplify things in my December watchlist.  I'm rating things (on a scale of how well I liked the film) but I'm not giving you descriptions or extra info because you have probably heard of everything on the list and almost everything is appropriate for the whole family, unlike my October watchlist that featured horror films.
     This list is intended to put you in the mood for Christmas (though not every film is necessarily a Christmas film), so if there's not your thing, check back soon for a post on winter skincare!
