As I look out the window and see the trees and rooftops sparkling with snow, it's hard not to feel a sense of excitement for the upcoming winter holidays. With the holiday spirit in the air, I couldn't help but reach out to you and catch up.

How are you getting in the holiday mood?

My trick?

Christmas movies.

I've made a list of movies I like to watch (re-watch) before and during the holidays:

• "The Christmas Chronicles" (2018)
• "Bad Santa" (2003)
• "Love Actually" (2003)
• "Home Alone" (1990)
• "The Holiday" (2006)

I was wondering if you also do anything like that. Please share your holiday specials with me; I'll appreciate it.

Did you know I have a special list of movie-related vocabulary that will help you talk about movies in English?

I made it because movies is one of the easiest and most interesting topics to talk about in almost any situation.

These words might come in handy if you

• want to comment on a movie on Instagram
• email your impressions to a friend abroad
• make small talk about a movie you've seen with your co-workers
• or if you decide to join us in the movie club.

Have a look at the post with the vocabulary all the movie-related words and phrases you might need.
