Favorite Christmas Movie

What’s yours? Other than Christmas Vacation because we all know it’s the best.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

I used to switch my avatar from Halloween through Christmas to Jack Skellington, until more than one member here pointed out that they wished I'd stop that, since they no longer recognized my posts when I switched avatars. (Apparently dancing Emma Watson is way more memorable than my username... Who'd have thought?)

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

I've always liked A Christmas Carol, with Jean-Luc Picard, as Scrooge.

Jean-Luc Picard is a character from Star Trek.

My actual favorite Christmas movie is Miracle on 34th Street.

Isnt Planes, Trains a Thanksgiving movie?

I have to go with Its a Wonderful Life. A lot has to.do with it being my dad's favorite Xmas movie and memories of watching it with him as a kid. It's the movie that just makes it seem like Xmas to me.

Miracle on 34th street ranks 1st.

Then: Die Hard, Trading Places, Scrooged.

I also watch Stalag 17 as the events happens around Christmas time.

Sometimes Patton, since the later part does happen around Christmas with the Weather Prayer, a true event.

Also - the scene of the sleeping soldier near the beginning of Patton as he arrives at HQ, really happens at the Battle of the Bulge as Patton arrives at some HQ in the area - it's a true event.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
