What is your favorite Christmas show on tv?

ilikefree · **11-4-2009, 8:58 AM**

Christmas is my favorite time of year and I have several. I love A Christmas Story, Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, Garfield Christmas, Christmas Vacation and probably more that I'm forgetting!

jerica388 · **11-4-2009, 9:03 AM**

You can't forget Rudolph!!

My BIL is so obsessed with A Christmas Story that when the run a 24 hour marathon playing it back to back to back he just sits and watches it over and over. I like the movie but dang! Once or twice a year is enough for me.

I knew I'd forget some...just LOVE Rudolph!! And yes, I like A Christmas Story, but to watch it 24 hours straight?! Wow!

Ooh, good one! That reminds me - can't go through a Christmas season without watching It's A Wonderful Life.

Ok it's my favorite time of year...here are all my faves...

Charlie Brown Christmas ~favorite scenes: choosing the tree, snoopy decorating

The Grinch that Stole Christmas ~ making Max look like a Reindeer, WHO'S singing holding hands...

Frosty the Snowman ~ NO MONEY, NO TICKET (also my son's fave part), and Karen shivering in boxcar.....

Santa Claus is Coming to Town~ Fred Astaire as mailman, so cute, One foot in front of the other song!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer ~ rudolph losing nose, HERMIE the dentist shortcomings...

Christmas Vacation~ too many! the clump of lights that won't unknot/light, and the tree on fire and the squirrel on Chevy's/Clark's back

It's a Wonderful Life~ when he first goes out with Mary, George arguing, the end makes me cry every time. Stewart puts alot into that scene..

ELF~ Jovy and Buddy singing "Baby It's Cold Outside" and "Santa, I KNOW HIM!"

If forced at gunpoint to narrow it down it'd be:
1 film ~ Christmas Vacation
and 1 animated ~ Charlie Brown

coleman4905 · **11-4-2009, 12:52 PM**

I love them all,..it's so hard to narrow them down..Charlie Brown, The Grinch, Frosty,..they're all great!

DJ615 · **11-4-2009, 12:56 PM**

White Christmas

We watch the DVD of The Year Without a Santa Claus several times during the year, but more at Christmas time.

I saw The Happy Elf with Harry Connick Jr. a on TV a few years ago and I wish they would air it every year.

That's me!

Or rather, how I used to be. I would watch the 24 hour marathon while wrapping all of the presents. It was tradition for me to make sur it was playing while we were opening presents. I absolutely LOVE that movie.

Other Christmas movies or shows that I love are: The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Christmas Vacation, Frosty The Snowman, any of the Charlie Brown Christmas specials, Fred Claus, Miracle On 34th Street, and It's a Wonderful Life.

I love A Christmas Story. I saw that in the theater as a kid and didn't like it much, but as an adult I love it.

My kids and I love the Home Alone's, Santal Clause's, Polar Express and Elf.

AuntieJul · **11-4-2009, 5:43 PM**

It's a Wonderful Life... although it's a little somber. I never really liked or made a big deal about any other Christmas shows.

I like the commercial where the snowman comes inside the house from the cold, snowy outside, then sits down, eats some Campbell's soup, and melts into a kid
