Congratulations to Diane M., the winner of this month’s First Friday Giveaway!
Mu favorite has always been Rudolph
Happy Holidays everyone! I think National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation has to be my favorite. Between the parents over-staying, the tree with live animals in it, and the over-the-top light display, it’s a perfect movie. You can’t beat classic Chevy Chase~!
Elf
it’s so hilarious!!!
A Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
My favorites are A CHRISTMAS STORY and
THE POLAR EXPRESS.
A favorite in our house is ELF byt my favorite is It’s a Wonderful Life. But how can you not love Christmas Vacation, The Grinch, and the A Christmas Story marathon is always on during our family dinner at my aunt’s house.
My favorite is “It’s a Wonderful Life” but I have really enjoyed some of the new Hallmark moves that have been on this year.
“One Magic Christmas”has been my favorite for years and years
My favorite Christmas movie is A Christmas Story!!! So true to my childhood! Lol!
Rudolph 🙂
I love Elf!
Sound of Music
Christmas Vacation! I could watch it 10 times a year. However, The Year Without A Santa Claus is a close second.
My favorite has always been, and always will be, the original “Miracle on 34th Street!” However, I am also good with pretty much anything on Hallmark!! 🙂
Miracle on 34th Street
My favorite movie will always be Frosty the Snowman. I have great childhood memories of that movie!
I have loved “A Christmas Story” since it first came out. I force my young adult children to watch it every Christmas season with their Dad and I. Love it!
My favorite holiday movie has always been “Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas.” Such a great movie….
Wow! It’s hard to pick just one. I guess I would have to say that I never miss a chance to watch “Miracle on 34th St” as a classic. However, “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “Elf”, “Rudolph”, “Frosty” – they are all great!!!
A Christmas Story! I love when they show it on repeat Christmas Day!!!
I love A Christmas Story and Home Alone
This Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street(black and white version) has always been my favorite. But another one of my faves is Hard Candy Christmas with Dolly Parton. Was one of my favorites with my dad.
National Lampoons!!
Grinch stole Christmas. So funny
I love the movie…Frosty the Snowman!
So many choices, Elf, Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, plus all the animated classics. We love them all!!
I love Hallmark’s The Christmas Card! It is such a wonderful story!
Death Takes A Holiday
I think Miracle on 34th street is the best . I like the first one the best
A Christmas Story is a natural for remenicing Christmas past.
Polar Express is, well …magical!

I love watching Santa Buddies with my son because of him it has become one of my new favorites. My favorite from when I was a child would have to be How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
One of my favorites is Home Alone
Can’t we have more than one?!! Holiday in Handcuffs I think is at the top, then the Grinch and A Charlie Brown Christmas, then I’d have to say Home Alone (1)……There are sooooo many.
How the Grinch stole Christmas. I like the songs, the poor little dog and love watching the Grinch’s heart grow and grow!
Christmas Vacation is my favorite Christmas movie.

I love all the Christmas movies and watch them every year, but one of my favorites that I believe to be underrated is the Muppets’ Christmas Carol. The narrators Gonzo and Rizzo are so cute and funny.
Favorite is Home Alone.
The Christmas Shoes – can’t watch the movie or listen to the song without crying.
My favorite has always been National Lampoons Christmas!! It’s not the typical Christmas movie, but it always gives me a good laugh!

My favorite Christmas movie has always been “It’s A Wonderful Life!” The movie is filled with spirit, the kind of spirit that Jesus Christ gave each one of us. It has tragedy, sorrow, bitterness, kindness, love, generosity, sweetness, loyalty, and family all wrapped up with a bow. This movie is about LIVING!
my favorite Christmas movie is polar express by far!!!!!! happy holidays

Christmas Vacation for me. I can identify with Clark’s desire for a perfect Christmas! It just cracks me up.

My favorite Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation!
A Charlie Brown Christmas
I like White Christmas for fun, and the Nativity Story
for the real meaning of Christmas.
Polar Express, White Christmas, & Christmas Vacation
I love “Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas”…. followed by, “It’s a Wonderful Life”
Right now- Elf.
But this is harder than you think! It’s a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve. Loved Polar Express the book to read to my kids, but marginal on the movie. How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Ron Howard did such a great job with Jim Carrey. And Charlie Brown Christmas,when Linus gives his speech on stage in the spotlight, then I know Christmas is HERE!
😉
I love Miracle on 34th Street, but there are very few Christmas movies I don’t like. I enjoy the Hallmark movies and love all the Christmas ones I watch with my grand-kids, especially Frosty.
“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”- some of the kids where I work remind me of the Herdman kids.
I think Elf is the funniest Christmas movie ever, but it is not Christmas without National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation!
I love a good holiday classic like “Rudolph” but will always sit down to watch the Santa Claus series with Tim Allen. 🙂
My favorites have been “White Christmas” as well as “The Walton’s Christmas”
My favorite has been “White Christmas” and “The Walton’s Christmas”
My have to see movie is Prancer. I finally bought it so I don’t have to get the extras on the sattelite.
Rudolph
Charlie Brown Christmas especially that part when Linus reads from Luke 2
Santa Clause 3
Home Alone!!
Charlie Brown Christmas ~~tells the true Reason for the Season!
Miracle on 34th street
White Christmas
The Christmas Story – one of my kindergartners actually got his tongue stuck on a pole this week! My own children watched this movie every year, laughing as if every scene was new to them, and remembering similar events in their own lives.
Christmas Vacation…our family watches it together on Christmas eve every year!
I like Prancer!
One Magic Christmas
So tough to decide, but Charlie Brown Christmas is probably my top pick!
Belle’s Enchanted Christmas
White Christmas
Elf & A Christmas Story – I can watch both over and over!
I agree..too many to choose from. If I had to choose one, it would probably be “The Year Without a Santa Clause”. I love when Mrs. Claus says “Eat Pappa Eat”! 🙂
“It’s a Wonderful Life!” Is my all time favorite!
I like Home Alone.
