Re: Favorite holiday movie

Prancer. It started years ago (probably when it first came out), my aunt would gather up all my cousins to watch it at my grandparent's house. I still watch it a couple times at Christmas.
My DH loves Holiday Inn and White Christmas, so we watched those night before last.

I have soft spots in my heart for It's a Wonderful Life and Elf.
On a related note, I used to think I was above made-for-TV holiday movies, but ABC Family has proved me wrong. I watched A Carol Christmas with Tori Spelling and Holidays in Handcuffs with Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez. Epic.

Christmas Story-I don't own the movie but I watch the marathon.
I love National Lampoon's Christmas. I already watched it as well. M hates all of the National Lampoon movies.

A Christmas Story is my all time favorite. My mom bought it for me on DVD a few years ago as a Christmas present (I didn't understand why she bought it since it's on TV for free for 24 hours straight but she tries really hard for presents so I didn't complain). We watch it on DVD Christmas Eve to avoid commercials, and then it's on the TV in the background a lot during Christmas day.
And Elf is my second favorite. We usually watch that a few weeks before Christmas.
I'm a huge believer in watching A Christmas Story over and over again on TV the night before Christmas. It's amazing, lol. I also love a Charlie Brown Christmas, the Grinch (the old one) and Frosty the Snowman. Elf also makes me die laughing, and I quote it throughout the year (generally, "smiling's my favorite" and "you don't smell like santa - you smell like beef and cheese" and "buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?".
B's family is huge into It's a Wonderful Life". It's tradition for them to watch it one Saturday night as a whole family, we sit together with a fire going drinking hot cocoa, B's mom cries at the end, and we end it lol
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, White Christmas, Christmas Comes to Willow Creek, and Borrowed Hearts.
There are so many others too. I am a sucker for Christmas movies!

THIS x1000000 except insert FIL for dad.
I had actually never watched it all of the way through until spending Christmas at the ILs. FIL (who is a special case altogether) yells out all of the lines through the movie and it is flat out obnoxious. He also insists on handing out all of the gifts and he takes so long that we watched the movie 1.5 times before he was done - there are only 5 of us there. UGH.
Love Actually.
I'm not a big fan of holiday "movies" -- I do like the classic cartoons though, ESPECIALLY "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation hands down favorite
Both Home Alone Movies
A Christmas Story (though i do agree its overplayed)
Also like Love Actually, The Grinch, Muppet Christmas Carol is also cute.
Blasphemy!!!?
Confession: I've tried to watch it year after year after year. I always see different parts. I've never made it through. I think it's probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

"Fra-gee-lay... sounds italian."
LOL!! I am sorry, but this does not get old.?
It's the gift that keeps on giving. Another quote I use year-round.
I can't believe you guys don't like A Christmas Story! Where do you people come from??! I'm a huge fan, Mike is too. Last year, our Christmas ornament was a leg lamp in a wooden crate, marked "Fragile". When you open it up it has audio, including everyone's favorite "Fra-jee-lay" line.
My favorite line from that movie:
"Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double-beatloaf. I hate meatloaf!"
Elf
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Frosty the Snowman
P.S. I going to get a tour of the "A Chirstmas Story" House this weekend.
This is my favorite scene in the movie.
As much as I hate Christmas music, I love Christmas movies... I could watch so many of them over and over again. The ones that I will always watch when they are on...
Frosty the Snowman
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (I always liked the cartoon version but the Jim Carrey version is good too)
A Christmas Story
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Elf
So far this year I've also watched Home Alone, Fred Claus, and Four Christmases.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. For us, it's my brother that wants to watch it non-stop. I. Can't. Stand. It. I once bought it for my brother in hopes he'd watch it at his house and not subject me to it when he came over for Christmas. No luck. It makes me want to rip my ears off. Seriously.
