Both versions of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

The Christmas Shoes is definitely on the top of the list for me. After first seeing it a couple years ago, I decided to make it my tradition to watch it every year on Christmas. (No one else but my mom will touch it, though, because it's so tragic XD)

Also:
It's a Wonderful Life
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the animated one with Boris Karloff)
Home Alone, if that counts (first one only)
A Christmas Carol (the newest, performance capture one starring Jim Carey as Scrooge)

Charlie Brown without a doubt! I love that one!

My fam also watches Frosty, sometimes Rudolph, Grinch.

Non-cartoons: Frequently watched: Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life.
We've also seen The Muppets Christmas Carol, The Santa Clause, Christmas Vacation, the Nativity Story, A Christmas Story, and a host of movies related to or with events that are set to occur during this season. The list goes on and on.

White Christmas
How the Grinch Stole Christmas

I'll probably try to watch It's a Wonderful Life again this year. I haven't seen it in a long time.

All of the Doctor Who Christmas Specials, but especially last year's "Christmas Carol" with Matt Smith. Televised perfection.

Die Hard 2 as well I think, not my favorite, but I think it's worth noting.

Even though I realized Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer suffers from1960s sexist and racist undertones (not really the film's fault but society as a whole back then) while watching it at an Art Club meeting a few years ago, I Still hold that one as one of my favorite christmas movies to watch, as well as the following:

*Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Just put one foot in front of the other...and soon you'll be walking through the dooooooooor!"
*Nester the Long Eared Donkey (Dang, that show made me cry as a kid)
*It was the year without a Santa Claus (Those Hot and Cold Brothers are hilarious)
*The Tangerine Bear (yay! Direct to Video cuteness!)
* Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 2 (Yah, its silly but its FUN! )
*Annabelle the Cow? (I can't remember the title, but it has to do with a little cow who sacrifices her voice for a little boy and becomes a reindeer)
*Muppet Christmas Carol.
*Elf
And I'm probably forgetting a lot...

.... I love Christmas...XD
