THE days are getting colder and darker which means only one thing – Christmas movie marathons with gallons of mulled wine by the side.
Whether you tune in the adventures of Kevin McCallister or watch Love Actually for the millionth time, we all have a favourite – and according to one expert, it tells a lot about your personality.
To find out what your top pick says about you, Fabulous spoke exclusively to Aaron Surtees, a psychologist and hypnotherapist who runs award-winning clinic City Hypnosis in London.
''Interestingly, favourite films watched in your childhood or teen years become synonymous with who we feel we are as a person, who we relate to, forming our tastes, personality and how we express ourselves in adult life – all from a connection we felt/feel towards the film’s characters.
''This is more evident at Christmas when there is a lot of nostalgia around movies, in particular Christmas films.''
So which movie do you watch every year…?
