which christmas movie do you watch every year?

[CaliforniaDreamin]

I forgot Elf. I cannot stand Will Ferrel but he is sooo good in Elf.
"Santa's coming??? I KNOW HIM!" lol

 

[pilesoflaundry]

Christmas Story
Elf
Christmas with the cranks

Elf is the only Will Ferrel movie I can watch. I don't like him usually!

We always watch those. Technically The Family Man is a christmas movie too but we watch that one all year whenever it's on tv.

Frosty the snowman
Elf

Oh, and The Ref, though that one is NOT family-friendly, shall we say. Funny, though.

We watch the Ref every year as well


We also watch:

Elf
Muppet Christmas Carol
Christmas Vacation
Scrooged
A Child's Christmas in Wales
usually watch most of them though

 

[Wall-E1]

We kick off the season with Planes, Trains and Automobiles (Those aren't pillows!!!). As the season rolls on, we always watch A Christmas Story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas(animated) and now Polar Express.

Elf, Year Without a Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town and the Grinch!!

I also love to watch the Harry Potter weekend on the 25 days of Christmas too!

[VBsHustla]

These are my absolute essentials:

The Santa Clause (about 10x per year )
Home Alone and Home Alone 2
To Grandmother's House We Go
The Ultimate Christmas Present

 

[fan of the TTA]

We watch every Christmas movie. My wife is a bigger Christmas nut as I am a Disney World night. That said, we watch all those movies plus every TV event. Peanut, Grinch, Mr. Magoo, Rodolph, Frosty too many to list.
Correction, every movie but Elf.

i forgot about frosty!.

of course!.

what's wrong with elf.

i can't really comment on the movie as i've not seen it, i just guess it's not as good as the others.

[fan of the TTA]

oh and to everyone that said polar express, my sister can sing the song when christmas comes to town. it's cute.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

DH and i usually watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, Garfield's Christmas, Rudolph(my all time favorite!), The Grinch(cartoon version), Mickey's Christmas Carol and a lot of the older Christmas cartoons while we're putting up the tree and decorations.

on Thanksgiving my in-laws ALWAYS watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and EVERY YEAR my DFIL laughs like it's the first time he's ever seen it, and then he goes "WAIT WAIT!! THIS PART IS GOOD!" omg drives me nuts!

and it's not a widely known one, but they usually show it on Lifetime or Hallmark, the Ebbie movie with Susan Lucci.....idk why but i've always loved that movie.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Miracle on 34th Street! - I'll watch all 3 if I get the chance, but the oldest one is my favorite.

 

[VBsHustla]

have you also seen the santa clause 2?

i think that's just as good.

I have! I liked it, but not quite as fanatically as I do the first one. Also, the TTA is the best!
