With that season fastly approaching, I thought I'd ask everyone what they're favorite holiday films were.
In no particular order...
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
A Christmas Story
Scrooged ("Oh look Frank, it's a TOASTER!")

Number one is It's a Wonderful Life.
I also enjoy the Alistair Sim A Christmas Carol, and Scrooged is always fun after seeing the real thing.
A Christmas Story is a prime favorite because being from New Jersey I'm a huuuuge Jean Shepherd fan.
Runners up would be the original Miracle on 34th Street with Natalie Wood, any of the Rankin-Bass animated specials and, of course the Mexican 1959 classic, Santa Claus.
It's absolutely DREADFUL! Santa fights the Devil (who looks like Klinger from "M*A*S*H") and prevents a little girl from shoplifting. Every year we have a party and suffer through it. It's a tradition. We figure if we can sit through this horror, we deserve better gifts from Santa!
