...watching the remake of " miracle on 34th st" as we speak...
very nice... very sweet

It's a Wonderful Life.

Love, Actually

I have an extremely hard time with Christmas.

So, in order to get any measure of the holiday spirit in me...

I wanna watch...

The Grinch

There are a few holiday movies I don't like... Yet my favorite is the original "Miracle on 34th Street".

fa la la la la la la la la...
 

movies:

"miracle on 34th street"
"the polar express"
"the santa claus"
"love actually"
"jack frost" (1979)
"elf"


tv shows:

"rudolph the rednosed reindeer"
"how the grinch stole christmas"
"a charlie brown christmas"

I know this Christmas show is a kid one and I guess not a movie but I just love "Dr Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas" I stop everything to watch it when it comes on. Can't help myself. :)
I am with Miss Scarlett though since I just adore Chevy Chase in "Christmas Vacation" I still can't believe his wife and how she sticks by him through everything. hahaha
Sparky there can sure get into a ton of trouble huh????

pre teens, i always looked forward to frosty the snowman, rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, a charlie brown christmas. i still love watching. as i got older, the christmas story!

"you'll shoot your eye out!"

"fra-gee-lay. that must be italian."

"sons of bitches papa says!"

"some men are baptists, others catholics. my father was an oldsmobile man."

and so on.

now, i am just lovin' the polar express! o my, if you haven't seen, ... it's worth all the hot chocolate, ... hot hot hot!

at dollywood, they have the 4 D ride of the polar express. loved it!

Yes, agreed!! The original Miracle on 34th Street... Owned and watched even when it's not Christmas!! :D

Favorite Christmas movie?
 

That is SUCH a hard decision. I love them all! Rudolph, Frosty, The Grinch, Charlie Brown Christmas, Elf, A Christmas Story, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Love Actually, The Polar Express.

I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty! But like I said, I love them all. Give me some snow falling outside, cozy pajamas, a cup of hot cocoa and ANY of those movies and I'm one very happy girl. :)

The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue: When an unemployed Detroit man is arrested for a crime he didn't commit, his three children is determined to get him out of jail in time for Christmas and they decide to enlist the help of "the most powerful man in the world" - President Hoover. En route to the White House, they meet an array of colorful characters.

[For some reason, this has always been my favourite. I don't even think it's on TV anymore..]

Elf, hands down.

My personal favorite is 'White Christmas'. My sister and I usually watch it together, it reminds us of our Grampa.

I also love more contemporary films like 'Love, Actually' and 'The Family Stone'

This weekend I have a date with my Best Bear (he is having a particularly tough surgery on Friday and won't be feeling so well this weekend) - his request is that we watch the old kids classics: 'Rudolf', 'Frosty' and his absolute favorite 'Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas'
