Growing up in a Mexican-American household in the southern United States, we didn’t have snow days. What we did have were tamales. Lots and lots of tamales.

To truly get me into the spirit of the season, I need “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”

Every encounter with Santa Claus is a chance to teach our kids about a deep love for Jesus.

We hope this helps all you last-minute shoppers. And, don’t worry: You can also use this list as a last-minute gift guide Feast of the Epiphany (we won’t tell).

So what is it about these cheesy, mass-produced films that make them so irresistible?
