Christmas movies are plentiful but picking a favorite might be difficult. I find it tough to choose though I will try. I'll throw out my top 10. Okay top 17.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Classic if you've seen it you know why.
A Charlie Brown Christmas - Can't have Christmas without it. I'm serious. They'll cancel the whole deal if you don't watch it!!!!
National Lampoon Christmas Vacation - Most fun bar none.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - A childhood must see.
The Polar Express - Amazing and magical
A Christmas Story - Great story, great acting. Darren McGavin is awesome.
It's A Wonderful Life - Christmas meets the Twilight zone. Needs the Rod Serling intro.
The Family Man - It's A Wonderful Life Nicolas Cage style.
The Simpsons Christmas Episode Season 1 - Santa's Little Helper
The Tick Loves Santa - "Ho Ho Ho. Ho Ho Ho. Ho Ho Ho!"
Miracle on 34th Street - Makes a good case for Santa.
Jingle All The Way - Frantic + Arnold = Fun.
Scrooged = Christmas Nuts.
The Grinch = Jim Carey is amazing.
Futurama - A Tale of Two Santas - Don't piss off Santa.
A Christmas Carol - Creepy.
The Santa Clause - Liked the first one. Leave it at that.
A Nightmare before Christmas - Not sure if its a Christmas film or Halloween. Seems to work either way.

My all-time favorite Xmas TV show is A Charlie Brown Christmas, pretty much by default because I don't usually watch anything else...

...except for A Muppet Christmas Carol, which is my favorite Xmas movie. (Again by default)

And just yesterday I bought the soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas - the newly remastered edition. Yay!

That is totally true with me as well.

Some shows that are familiar but are kind of a swing and miss are Frosty the Snowman. Liked it when I was a kid but these days its just annoying. Santa Claus is Comming To Town just seems weak next to Rudolph.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here actually read A Christmas Carol? I haven't. I was never into Dickens, because I never warmed to the idea of reading Victorian-era English. However, I might read A Christmas Carol one of these days, because as presented in the movies, this story speaks more to me than any other about what the "true" meaning of Christmas is.

It's not a difficult read at all. At least I didn't find it to be so.
