Been watching any good ones so far!? I don't think my tv has come off ABC Family since their 25 Days of Christmas started. Tomorrow they are showing Rudolph and the Island of the Misfit Toys, and having a Classics marathon on Saturday (the 13th). Do you think it's unhealthy to just watch Christmas movies from now until New Years!?

I love holiday programming - from New Year's to Arbor Day to Thanksgiving and all the others. And I have so many Christmas favorites from classic films to tv specials to cartoon shorts to tv episodes.

My DH and I both love a Christmas Story, Escapee. We finally bought the DVD this year, and I made sure to get the one w/Spanish language on it too. This way I have an 'excuse' to watch it at school with my Spanish 3. We'll be having a bit of fun next week.

HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! The 1966 animated one of course. It on Monday night and I'm so psyched for it. LOL Though I guess since it doen't run over an hour it's not really a "movie" but whatever. I'm looking forward to it anyway!

Eh, it still counts! I count them all The Grinch will be on ABCF Thursday, so I'm excited to watch that (for the second time this year!!) I'm also really excited for The Polar Express on the 22nd. I think I look forward to the daily movies as much as the holiday, haha. Gets me in the spirit!

I watch all the Christmas specials, all the movies. I even love the sappy Lifetime and Hallmark ones.

I watch all of them, too. Their names end up blending all together so I forget which is which by just the name most of the time. There is one I have enjoyed every year that I think goes under the radar. It's from 1997 and stars Mimi Rogers and it's called "The Christmas List". Tivo shows the next showing is on Family Channel on Dec 23 at 6 AM.

Naja, I like that one too. I also watch Borrowed Hearts with Eric McCormack and Roma Downey, every time it's on.

Why hasn't the version of A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sims been on this year? I miss it. Watched an amazing VHS (yes videotape) version of A Christmas Carol yesterday. It was a 1956 production with Fredric March as Scrooge, and Basil Rathbone as the ghost of Marley. It was a musical version! It was amazingly great! It was an hour long, interspersed with multiple 1956 Chrysler commercials! I'd never seen this before, and if you can find it, I highly recommend it, for nostalgia purposes if nothing else.

Though you can't go wrong with a "Christmas Story", my favorite is the oldie Holiday Inn with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. I watch it almost every Christmas, but didn't see it on this year. I guess I just need to buy a copy. My weird holiday movie is The Little Drummer Girl, with Diane Keaton, that for some unknown reason has become my tradition on New Year's Day. I think I saw it on the New Year's Day years ago following one of my most enjoyable New Year's Eves, and it is just like comfort food!

i dislike a "christmas story" so much. i can never sit through that entire movie. i finally saw the entire way through "it's a wonderful life". a very good movie. jim carrey's "how the grinch stole christmas" is still one of my top fave holiday movies. oh, and i love a muppet christmas carol...it is hilarious. i love christmas carol remakes...they're so good
