I always try to watch The Grintch Who Stole Christmas. I think it's important to be reminded that the true meaning of Christmas can't be taken away by presents and other things that aren't as important.:love:

It isn't Christmas at our house until we have watched A Christmas Story. It is the best Holiday movie there is!
We love watching Rudolph. There is also lots of others, I enjoy them more than the kids. I am a big sap at Christmas time. :sunshine:
We always watch the holiday movies. Our newest addition to our collection is the Holiday but I hope to add unaccompanied Minors soon. But my all time favorite and I have no clue why is
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

We always watch the Muppets "Christmas Carol". We started when my son was about 7 and it was his favorite movie. he's almost grown now . Come to think of it, I hope I can convince him to watch it with me this year.... maybe I will bribe him with hot chocolate and christmas snacks!
"A Christmas Story" is our all-time favorite :love:
We even go out to a Chinese restaurant for Christmas dinner each year :blush:
Every year we "dust" off the same movies and make it a marathon.
1. Christmas Vacation
2. Scrooged
3. Mickey's Christmas Carol
4. A Christmas Story
5. Elf
6. It's a Wonderful Life
On TV, we usually make it a point to catch,
1. Miracle on 34th St.
2. Claymation specials :Rudolph, Frosty, etc.
Ever since sometime before the '04 holidays, we watch Love Actually multiple times as the weather gets colder. We've promised ourselves to spend Yule in London someday, on a Love Actually tour.:p
Charlie Brown Christmas
I love them all but Christmas just ain't Christmas without "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
I bought the Christmas set on Deep Discount last year and it has Rudolph, Frosty, Santa Claus is coming to town and Frosty Returns with a special of Little Drummer Boy on it. The price was great and we got free shipping. We watch that now. We watch it all year long though LOL I catch the kids watching them and dancing all the time. I love these old claymation shows.
I haven't missed Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer since 1965
We watch White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye every year on Christmas eve.
Oh my ...I love them all..
All the Santa Clause movies are good but....
I will have to pick
Miracle on 34th Street. all of them
Our 2 favorites - Traditionally the cartoon The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (I can watch that one EVERY day until Christmas!) and our new favorite is the Polar Express....just so magical!
I love The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. We've seen it so many times, DS and I always recite the lines right along.
The Christmas Story is my fave! Fun fact...I've never watched It's A Wonderful Life in its entirety!?
I agree with Jen - A Christmas Story is the BEST, Red Ryder BB Gun, high heel/fishnet stocking lamp and all! :rotfl:
My kids love Rudolph and Santa Claus in Coming to Town. We just watched Frosty last night.
I love Christmas movies!!! Our faves are Charlie Brown Christmas, The Grinch (cartoon version), White Christmas and Christmas Vacation.
Put me in the A Christmas Story column. I actually saw it at the movie theater.
Our family favourite is Annabelle's Wish. I choke up every time I watch it!:blush:
Miracle on 34th Street! I just love that movie!
They usually run National Lampoon's Christms Vacation on Christmas Eve, which is my uncle's favorite, so we usually end up watching that.
My parents are both Rudolph freaks, so we usually end up watchign that too. The dog has a toy named Bumble because my mom made the astute observation that it bounced!
I can't pick a favorite! I loved the Claymation Christmas (Here we come a waffle-ing..) but haven't seen it for years. Do they still play it on TV?
I saw the "new" Grinch Movie and Polar Express for the first time last year - loved them.
When my daughter was young - I taped all the Christmas shows on VHS. I wish I still had that tape!
Every year for as long as I can remember it has always been Charlie Brown Christmas, and The Grinch. DH and I continue to watch those every Christmas Eve all snuggled up in bed. Usually we have mugs of cocoa and some sort of cookie I make. Our two dogs are usually cuddled up at our feet. My DH is so corney that when the Grinch pulls out the whip to make Max move faster, he always reaches down and gives our dogs love. He says he doesn't want them to be upset. LOL!!! :rotfl:
Of course I also love all those claymation shows too. I never miss them. The Muppets Christmas Carol, Mickey's christmas Carol are great too. I still cry when I watch Nester, the long eared christmas donkey. I also love The Santa Clause movies.
Since the early 90's all my friends, DH and I gather a couple nights before Christmas and watch our favorite Christmas action movie, Die Hard.
So many Christmas shows, so little time. :D
The Christmas Story marathon! It is so bad it is funny! LOVE the bunny outfit!
It's a Wonderful Life.
We always, always, always watch it at least a couple of times over the Christmas holidays. And, DH & I always cry at the same parts in the movies. Our kids hate it, we make them watch it with us and it's torture to them. Someday I'm sure they will understand.
Mickey's Christmas Carol is my favorite!! I :love: anything to do with Mickey!!!
It is not Christmas unless I am baking Kifles and watching my favorite Christmas movie, White Christmas.
Laura
definatly a christmas story. every year we watch it and laugh. last year, my dd7 watched it for the first time. it was actually funnier when i watched her watch the movie. she actually fell off the couch laughing.
We all love The Year Without a Santa Claus in our House....the Heat and Cold Misers are the best!!!
But my favorites that I watch every year with dd are White Christmas and Holiday Inn. She gave them to me for the holidays last Christmas on DVD!
Yay!
Well since Jimmy Stewart's family only lived 11 miles from us I pick It's A Wonderful Life love watching it
We love to watch Christmas DVD's at our house. We have all the old classics like Frosty and Rudolfph and some newer ones as well. Every year we tell the kids that our Christmas DVD's can't come out until the day after Thanksgiving, and it's a big deal to take out the box. My personal fav is the original Miracle on 34th St. It makes me believe in Santa all over again!!
My favorite is "The City that Forgot About Christmas". It is hard to come by, they don't seem to play it anymore, but luckily I taped it one year. I also really like the song from the same show called "You can't stop Christmas"
Woohoo this one is so easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starting thanksgiving night we all watch
how the grinch stole christmas!!!!!
Our family fave is definitely The Christmas Story.
We even have our own leg lamp.:rotfl: It only comes out at Christmas time though.
The Chrismas Story is my absolute favorite!!!!
:xmascheers:
I have always loved the Grinch, it use to be the cartoon, but now it is the Jim Carrey version. I watch it while I wrap presents almost every night from Thanksgiving til Christmas.
A Christmas Story
