    I always like How the Grinch Stole Christmas because Good night I love you really does win over evil.

  2. Tracy Poston on December 16, 2011 at 9:58 pm

    I really love the movie, “Love Actually” with Hugh Grant….but I also love “Christmas Vacation”.  There are so many I love….but those are the first two that come to mind!!!

    The new version of “Miracle on 34th Street”. That girl, is so darn cute!

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  Just reminds me of being a kid and getting excited about Christmas approaching being led in with the Christmas shows.

    Oh… A Christmas Story! I loved that movie before anyone else knew about it as that is totally my family, but with an Italian twist to it! “You’ll shoot your eye out!”. Bwahahahahaha!

    Honestly all time favorite is the Flinstones Christmas movie, Been watching it now for many many years, the whole family loves to sit down and watch it because not only is it a great Christmas movie, But I get to be a kid again when watching it. I love watching it with my sisters and brother which we don’t get to do anymore because they live far away. Merry Christmas everyone.

    Its a Wonderful Life.   I remember when small town used to string lights across the street in the down town area.  Seemed like it was always so lit up.  The smell of Fresh cut tree’s when they came into town.  It always gave town the smell of Christmas.  If you have ever smelt it you know what Im talking about.  And the excitement of Christmas time as a young child.  I will never forget that.

    Not necessarily a Christmas story but it culminates at Christmas ….. an affair to remember. Cary grant and deborah Kerr (who always reminds me of my mother) fall in love but separate vowing to meet atop the empire state building (remember sleepless in Seattle? ). The appointment is missed but come Christmas time the handsome gentleman discovers the reason his lady love missed the date. Kiss and make up and all ends well.
    And I start crying a out half way through every time;)

    My favourite Christmas movie is ‘While you were sleeping”. Coming from Australia the idea of trudging through snow cutting down a christmas tree is so foreign to me, but I love it!!

    “A Christmas Story” for sure!  It wasn’t until I was older did I realize the significance of why the wife got so upset over the “leggy” lamp! LOL

    Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s my siblings and I would always look forward to the cartoon’s that would come on at night.  Peanuts Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman.  These bring back awesome memories of those times. 

  27. TheVoiceTeacher on December 17, 2011 at 7:19 am

    White Christmas with Rosemary Clooney and Bing Crosby. Best Christmas memory circa 1965 of my older sister (now deceased) and I when I was 10 and she 17, creating all kinds of beautiful bows and ribbon decorations for all the gifts while watching White Christmas on the TV.
    Thank you for giving me this moment to relive this wonderful memory!

    Christmas Vacation! Saw it with my dad as a kid and now watch it every year while decorating for the holidays! Dad is gone but the movie is so silly that it makes me laugh and remember the good times we had!

    My favorite movie is the Ref, a bit irreverent however, we watch it as a family and laugh but it is such a reminder how the small irritations of everyday life
    can be blown out of perportion and turn us into animals. Such a reminder of all that we need in our lives is love it is all that really matters

  36. Shawna Culp on December 17, 2011 at 8:07 am

    Favorite Christmas movie has to be national Lampoons Christmas
    Vacation for memories. As a single mother, Christmas gifts wer almost
    non-existent, as we barely scraped by, but watching Christmas Vacation
    and laughing together with my ( then teen ) kids was a priceless memory.

    Growing up, my favorite Christmas movie was “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. I remember snuggling on the couch watching the movie at night and being surrounded by the excitement and atmosphere of the Christmas Season. My mom would go all out and decorate the house to the nines! Now, as a parent, I love to snuggle on the couch with my girls and watch “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” with the lights off and the Christmas tree lit, and MY house decked to the nines!! It makes me feel warm fuzzy. 😉

  39. Linda on December 17, 2011 at 8:32 am

    Lots of choices, but I would have to say A Christmas Carol (the Alistair Sims version).  Growing up we watched it just about every Christmas season.  Now that I have my own family, we attend Christmas Eve service, come home to a homemade lasagna dinner, and finish trimming the tree while we watch the movie.  It helps me to remember trimming the tree with my brothers and sister while I was growing up, and I can hear my mom saying “Put the tinsel on one strand at a time” and dad saying that next year we were going to have a smaller tree!  They’re both gone now, so it’s nice to have traditions that they started, and to pass them on to my children and grandchildren!

    I loved that movie as a child. It’s on netflix and now I can share it with my little ones. 🙂

    I don’t watch a lot of movies but my mom would always tell me and my brother and sister when there was a Christmas special on.  We would all watch them together every year.  I always liked the snoopy one.

    A Chritmas Story.  I love it because my dad loved it.  It was a rare thing for him to sit down and watch t.v. with us so it was always a treat watching this movie as a family each year.

    The Nativity Story (2006) I love this film. It creates such a sense of how it really felt to be these people, a sense of reality that folks often miss in the telling. Lovely lovely film.

    this is a hard one because there so many great Christmas movies. Santa Claus the Movie…starting Dudley Moore is one of my favorites.. don’t see it much now days but I grew up with it and it brings back alot of childhood memories for me. But my all time favorite would have to be White Christmas. I would watch with my grandma as a little girl and I still love that movie. It’s a true classic.
