We've posted about our favorite foods, songs, and pictures for the holidays. Let's talk today about that one movie or show that you ALWAYS watch during the holiday season. We have a few at our house, but I won't give away which ones we watch just yet.

Post your family's favorite in this thread by midnight Eastern tonight and one poster will be randomly chosen as today's winner.

We love the Year without a Santa Claus. It was my favorite as a kid and it still is now. I can't help but sing along with heat miser and snow miser when they do their little skits!

We can't any more, as it's not on DVD, but my favorite all time christmas special is The Christmas Toy, feauturing the muppets. However, it's just not the same without the VHS version we had with the great 80's commercials.

Of available ones, I'd say the Muppet Christmas Carol (anyone else notice a pattern?)

We watch It's A Wonderful Life every Year. It makes us sit back and think about how Lucky we are that no mater what goes on or wrong we have each other.

My all time favorite is "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" when they sing "put one foot in front of the other" and the little forest animals spin around.

it!

The family fave is "A Christmas Story" and we love the 24 hour marathon on TV. "You'll Shoot your Eye Out Kid!", the Leg Lamp, Christmas in the Chinese Restaurant, etc. etc. - just a classic!

~ Rudolph! Christmas Eve after everyone is settled in we sat around to watch all our favorites. While we are watching the girls and I make cookies to leave for Santa and I make Hot Chocolate. The best is for last and we sat around drinking our hot chocolate.

The old claymation movies I have watched my whole life. I love the heat mizer/cold mizer song. I'm really bad about remembering the titles of the claymation movies though.

We watch the Charlie Brown Christmas special every year.

A Christmas Story is also a favorite in our house.

EVERYTHING!!! We, well mainly me, lover every Christmas movie/show and I try to watch them all. But, if time gets busy we always watch Rudolph, Charlie Brown and It's a Wonderful Life. And, I cry with each of them. I am such a sap.
