Most people take Christmas off, but it's always campaign season for the presidential candidates. Since we all know debates and interviews always ask hard-hitting questions focused on the future of our nation, I'm sure the candidates will be asked about their favorite Christmas traditions. Here are my thoughts on what their favorite Christmas movie might be and how they'll tie it into their campaign:

1. Marco Rubio: "Elf" (2003)

Marco Rubio likes "Elf" because it's a story of an undocumented immigrant finding love and Christmas cheer in America. If everyone thought of Will Ferrell as undocumented, there'd be a pathway to citizenship in no time.

2. Jeb Bush: "Fred Claus" (2007)

If the Bushes were the Clauses, Jeb would not be Santa. Jeb likes this movie because it relates to his inferiority complex, but Fred Claus does save Christmas at the end -- just like he plans to save the country. Also, Jeb is just lame enough to think Vince Vaughn is still cool.

3. Carly Fiorina: "A Christmas Carol" (not the Muppets' version)

Carly relates to Scrooge, since people often say she's not happy enough. She embraces this movie to show that she can be fun, but does not realize that this is a serious and boring choice regardless.

4. Chris Christie: "Christmas Vacation" (1989)

Chris Christie likes "Christmas Vacation" because it's one of the few Christmas movies that doesn't remind people he looks like Santa because of his -- err -- full figure. Plus, it shows that a crazy, somewhat inappropriate guy can lead.

5. Ben Carson: "Home Alone" (1990)

Ben Carson likes "Home Alone" because it shows an inexperienced boy defending his home and succeeding. The police and parents (politicians) can't compare to a 10-year-old boy (Ben Carson) when it comes to busting burglars. Also, Ben can use the movie to discuss his oft-debated childhood.

6. Ted Cruz: "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946)

"It's a Wonderful Life" is Ted's favorite Christmas movie because it shows how ~wonderful~ his old-fashioned views on family work in practice. Also, this one doesn't feature the North Pole, so we won't remember how he looks vaguely elfish.

7. Rand Paul: "A Christmas Story" (1983)

In Rand's opinion, "A Christmas Story" is a touching love story about a boy and his gun. Don't bring up gun control or he'll shoot your eye out.

8. Donald Trump: "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000)

Donald likes Grinch's hair. Maybe Christmas will make his heart grow three sizes?

9. Everyone Else: "Love Actually" (2003)

All the other candidates relate to "Love Actually" because it show big stars getting very little screen time. They're all delusional enough to think they'd be Hugh Grant in this movie, just like they think they'll be president.
