Hey everyone. I thought it'd be fun to put together a list of everyone's must watch or favorite Yuletide/Christmas/Holiday season movies. It's probably been done before, but my search skills aren't fantastic and I didn't see anything. Very curious to see what everyone likes, I'll go first:

Started off the season with;

It's a Wonderful Life
8 Crazy Nights
Jingle All the Way

Up next is Die Hard and Elf.

Pretty much everything on the Great American Movie Channel or the Hallmark Channel for about a three month span of time.

And, George, Mary, Zuzu, and the gang...of course. Every Christmas Eve for 40+ years now. I think I know the dialogue by heart after watching it so many times, but the scene when Harry comes home I still get something in my eye after all these years. But then, I'm a softy, so I've got that going for me...which is nice.

For years, each Christmas Eve, we watch Elf and Christmas Vacation. When the kids were little, after that they went to bed.

And then we watched Die Hatd.

The Christmas trifecta of must watch Christmas movies in my house is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, White Christmas and Die Hard. There are a bunch of others that we try really hard to watch like Charlie Brown’s Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Mickey’s Christmas Carol and Frosty the Snowman, but the Trifecta is the must watch movies. My daughter will watch Elf and The Grinch who stole Christmas probably at least a dozen times too.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Charlie Brown Christmas is coming up, maybe tonight. Kids had a piano recital today and one of the other players song was Linus & Lucy, so put it right to the top of my head haha! I know it's maybe been overdone in recent years, but I still enjoy A Christmas Story as well, and Christmas Vacation.

A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott starring as Scrooge) is one offering I enjoy which has not been mentioned. Do have an episode of The Avengers TV series (not the cartoons) from '65 which may be relatively unknown that I play, entitled Too Many Christmas Trees. Others have already been named.

White Christmas
Elf
The Star
The Ref

This is just the start!
