White Christmas with Bing, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, etc.

White Christmas - watching this on the Friday after Thanksgiving signals the beginning of the Christmas season at my house. And you better be ready to sign along!

I also love both the old and new versions of Miracle on 34th Street.

Wouldn't even stop for a second to watch Bad Santa or any others of this ilk. Guess I'm just old-fashioned and think there are some things that shouldn't be subjected to this kind of ridicule.

Christmas eve after the kids are asleep : Christmas Vacation

Christmas day - all day long - A Christmas Story marathon

My favorites are "The Santa Clause" and "The Santa Clause 2 - The Mrs. Clause". Very sweet, and very funny!

Oh, yes, Lestie. Those are sweet and kid friendly. White Christmas is a bit hard for little ones to sit through.

The Homecoming (which lead to the series The Waltons) was really good and even though A Charlie Brown Christmas was not a movie, how can we have Chritstmas without it. The music was fantastic as was the speech Linus gave.

I remember the mice in the clock tower. That was The Christmas That Almost Wasn't, I believe. Joel Grey was the voice of Papa Mouse.

How about the one with Heat Miser and Cold Miser?

"They call me Heat Miser, whatever I touch, starts to melt in my clutch. I'm too much!"

i think the heat meiser one was called, 'the year without a santa claus'... i think.

that one was good too.

the burgermeister meisterburger was on last nite on abc family. they are showing x-mas shows everynite at 8.

I just watched "It's A Wonderful Life" for the first time and was largely unimpressed. The moral of the story was good but it seemed to take forever to get there.

My favorite Christmas movies are "Christmas Vacation" and "A Christmas Story."

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid."

Another vote for Christmas Vacation.

"Beaut-i-ful Clark"
"Eddie, can I get you something to eat, refill your eggnog, drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?"

Has anyone noticed that cousin Eddie is wearing a black dickie under his white v-neck sweater? Everytime I see it I notice something different and laugh all over again.

My daughter brought home "Elf" this year.

"Santa! I know him!"

"It's a Wonderful Life" always gave bank examiners a bad name. I mean, coming to examine a bank on Christmas Eve? Get real!

Exactly. On Christmas Eve, examiners are standing with one foot out the door waiting for the Regional Office to release them (if they're even working.)

The last person out the door of the Regional Office would call the Field Offices to release them. Usually at the crack of noon Christmas Eve. Never any pre-notification.

Or an email would go out saying the FO supervisors could release people at 3. For those jobs that started early, a 3 pm release was never that great a deal.

Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation and The Grinch Stole Christmas. Cindy Lou Who is just too much!

I guess I am old fashion when it comes to Christmas movies. I love White Christmas, The Bishop's Wife, Christmas in Conneticut and the original Miracle on 34th Street.

Without a doubt "A Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott playing the part of Scrooge. Scott plays the most believable Scrooge I've ever seen. He was a truly great (and under appreciated) actor.
