| Love the ones mentioned--especially White Christmas, Holiday Inn and Meet me in St. Louis. Falling in love again with It's a Wonderful Life (got a little burnt out at one time) but I love, love, Little Women (the newer version, with Susan Sarandon?). A great deal of the movie takes place at Christmas time and winter, and it's truly one of my favorite stories. |

A Christmas Story is by far my fav!!!! Then Charlie Brown right after that!

I love The Santa Claus series with Tim Allen. Also the classics from when I was small, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Rudolf and Frosty the Snowman.
Our little ones love Dora Saves Christmas and Diego Saves Christmas. |

I am a Christmas movie junkie....I could and have watched them in the summer! Narrowing it down to three is kinda difficult...here goes.Number one-Drum roll please....It's A Wonderful Life.I just love it when Clarence tells George that see, he really has had a wonderful life and yes, George realizes that indeed he has.I always cry and the family always makes fun of me.
My second favorite is The Little Drummer Boy....the old claymation one.My husband and I have made a date and watched that show every year we have been together (twenty five plus years!).
The third is a toughie...Christmas In CT (I love Barbara Stanwick) so sweet and funny or The Bells of St. Marys- Bing Crosby is teriffic and the story is so lovely ...I really can't decide.
Let's dance in the rain and play in the puddles under the rainbows.

My all time favorite is It's a Wonderful Life; a close second is a Christmas Carol-the old black and white version.

My favorite Christmas movie as well as my favorite movie of all time is 'It's a Wonderful Life'. I love Jimmy Stewart in it and he's one of my favorite actors. There is such a wonderful message in this film... there is no riches, like the riches of friendship. I watch it every year during the holiday season, it's a tradition.

Serendipity
I love this movie with John Cusick and Kate Beckinsale ~
Here is the little review~ Such a great little show!
"One magical night, Jonathan met Sara. He was in love at first sight, but Sara believed in destiny. She would choose him, but only they were destined to be together. Now, after 10 years, Jonathan and Sara have 1 last chance to find out if what might have been, could still be. When love feels like magic you call it destiny. When destiny has a sense of humor, you call it “Serendipity.”

Oh....I like the movie Serendipity too.
I love Christmas movies! My newest favorite is Love Actually--ya gotta love Hugh Grant dancing through the house to the Pointer sisters song. My two all time favorites are A Christmas Carol and White Christmas. I try to always watch White Christmas on Christmas Eve, late.
Now I have a great Bing Crosby story for you. My Grandma, who is 93, sharp as a tack and very healthy--some good genes there--grew up in Spokane. She was the youngest of three and her older brother was good friends with Bing Crosby in college. Her brother had a party at their house one night and grandma got sent to bed early....she was 8. She wasn't too happy about it and snuck down to sit on the stairs in her footie pj's and watch the party. There was alot of singing and dancing going on. Bing spied her hiding on the stairs, brought her down and danced with her in her footie pajamas. I wasn't ever sure I believed that story until I heard her tell it myself. She also said she sang female leads in musicals at North Central High School opposite Bob Crosby, Bing's brother.

I have tried to choose just one to respond to this post, but I keep seeing more this year on TV and enjoy them so much, I can't choose! Last night Home Alone was on and I laughed so hard and got so tickled. I really can't choose just one or 2 or even 3.

Sue,
I love that movie. Babes in Toyland isn't it? The one with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon??
I watch that one every year. Its not Christmas without it. They made a new colorized version, but I like the old black and white better. :)

Our family tradition is putting the tree up while watching "Little Women" with Winona Ryder. We also watch the Family Stone with Sarah Jessica Parker, and of course Rudolph.
They always put me in the mood!

| Totally has to be White Christmas. My husband's favorite is definitely Christmas Vacation (do our movie choices reflect our personalities?) and I've got to say that even though it's a kids movie and will sound funny on this list, we all really enjoy seeing the Nutcracker ballet so much more thoroughly after having watched Barbie's Nutcracker movie. It really helps in interpreting the ballet for us at least! |
