Movies That Will Make You Laugh Those Holiday Blues Away!

Yes, the holidays are here again!  The time is right for feeling blue and overwhelmed again, but stop now and let's all take a deep breathe. Ok, good!  Now let's get back into the holiday spirit by watching movies that make us laugh.  I mean "really" laugh, you know those forgotten "belly laughs" from long ago when all our lives were easier, happier, YOUNGER!!!  Sorry, had to let that out (turned 41 and having my own mid-life crisis!). The best part now that we are older is we don't even have to leave the house to rent the movies, check out http://www.blockbuster.com, or http://www.netflix.com. If you have cable check out the movies now playing on pay-per-view and you can access them with a simple click on your remote control!

Here are some of my suggestions, and of course some of these suggestions also came recommended by my family and friends, of movies that will make you laugh those holiday blues away.  Let's get those feel good endorphins flowing through our stressed out bodies again!  I'm in are you?  I assumed you said "yes", (uh-oh assumed is a dangerous word... but I'll take that chance!)  So with the belief that the old saying "laughter is the best medicine" is true, lets look at the following list of movies, pick one, and let the healing and laughter begin!

1. "Elf", starring Will Ferrell, and anything else starring Will Ferrell is a "sure fire" belly laugher!

2. "Wedding Crashers", starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.

3. "Back to School", starring Rodney Dangerfield

4. "Easy Money", starring Rodney Dangerfield

5. "Liar, Liar", starring Jim Carrey

6. "Vacation" and all its spins offs, starring Chevy Chase

7. "Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery", and of course all the spin off or sequels as they say in the "biz" , starring (don't tell me you don't know  the mastermind who created this character?), Mike Meyers of course!

8. "Shrek", (I personally only thought that the the original and second spin off were hilarious, but others have disagreed and said they were all laugh worthy!) of course starring the voice talents of Mike Meyers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas.

9. "Soul Plane", starring Tom Arnold and Snoop Dogg

10. "Meet the Parents", and its sequel, starring Ben Stiller

Make sure you check the rating on these movies before you sit down to watch them with children around.

If you don't get a chance to watch all the movies you wanted to before the holidays, it might be a good idea to put on a movie after dinner and before dessert, so you can have some "down" time as the host.

Last but not least, make sure you enjoy the holidays, don't stress about the things you wanted to do but didn't, sit back and enjoy all the things you have done to make the holidays special for everyone.  Enjoy!!!
