Buddy the elf is my favorite character during Christmastime and is loved by many. The humorous, silly, and cheerful movie always puts me in a good mood and makes Christmas special. From the first time I saw it to now the 500th time, it never fails to make me laugh.

Here are 10 reasons why 'Elf' is the best Christmas movie.

1. He's a grown man

It's the idea that he is a grown man elf, and yet he still acts like a kid that makes this movie hysterical.

2. The humor

The unpredictable actions of Buddy, and the father make the humor in this movie the best. You never know what Buddy is going to do that will make you laugh out loud all Christmas Day.

3. The background story

It's so funny how Buddy lives in the North Pole his whole life and grows up with other elves.

4. The crazy shenanigans

Buddy is in the city alone, what could be crazier than that. He does all of these funny things that make this movie great.

5. The love story

Buddy's little crush definitely makes this movie a good one. The way he looks at her, and how he sneaks in the shower to sing, true love by Buddy the Elf.

6. The best way to spread Christmas Cheer

Singing loud for all to hear

7. Will Ferrell himself

I really think they did a great job at making him the Elf. Will Ferrell is the perfect person for making this character come to life.

8. Never fails to make you laugh

Even after years and years of watching this movie, I laugh like its the first time.

9. Buddy's Maple Syrup Spaghetti

His food concoction that makes his dad question everything, classic.

10. Bringing the family together

No matter if its Christmas Day, or even before the holiday season this movie always can bring a family together.
