When it comes to classic Christmas films, I think it’s easy to say we’d all add the Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis classic Christmas with the Kramks to that list. However, I’m here today to let you all why it’s important to recognize this movie as so much more than a movie — it’s a state of mind!

It proves that you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to feel the magic of Christmas — it’s in the people you love most!
Now, it’s time that the universe put a little respect on this movie!
