Favorite Christmas Movie?

I was watching Christmas Vacation last night, and it got me thinking what was/is my all-time favorite Christmas movie. Not sure, but what about you?


What is your favorite movie of this season?

It reminds me of my childhood in Massachusetts and I liked it so much that I bought it.

Man, too many to pick just one. I also love A Christmas Story, the original Miracle on 34th Street, & It's a Wonderful Life. One of my faves of more recent years is Prancer, which really tugs at my heartstrings. I also love Scrooge starring Alistair Sim. Best Scrooge ever, imo.

Bad Santa was a great and SUPER funny movie.

Christmas Vacation is also very high up on my Christmas movie list as well.

A Christmas Story. Watch several hours of it when they do the 24 hour marathon every year. Much to the dismay of my family.

Just saw the animated Christmas Carol. Wasn't bad.

Elf for me, though.
