TV Christmas specials

What is your favorite TV Christmas or holiday special?

[Luckylove]

Right now I like Elf with Will Ferrell. We are actually watching it now! Oh and we always have to watch Christmas Story at least once. "You'll shoot your eye out!!"

[Colleen&Kail]

christmas story, elf is funny, the santa claus!!

[howardvm]

I love Rudolph, the original one with the stop-motion animation. I also really like Christmas Story, but Rudolph really reminds me of being a little girl and being so excited for Christmas and Santa:)

[meeg124]

My absolute favorite is The Year Without A Santa Claus. I love Heat Miser and Cold Miser! I love the songs... "I'm Mister Heat Miser, I'm Mister 101". I love the part where Mother Nature scolds her boys and they totally dote all over her. Second favorite is probably Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.

We watch Chrismtas Story year round... Caden loves that movie. He keeps asking for a "bamming shooter" for Christmas and I keep telling him that he will shoot his eye out :lol

[Colleen&Kail]

I think I'm the only person who does not like Christmas Story. It gives me the creeps! I hate that leg lamp. I must have had nightmares about it as a kid because it still bugs me. Every year Mike wants to watch it and I refuse.

[Lynette]

Of the specials, I would have to say the Charlie Brown one with the funky dance scene and the pathetic tree. Rudolph is always depressing because everyone is so mean to him and I hate the noise his nose makes.

Movies, *definitely* Christmas Story, I swear everytime the mom screams when she finds out Ralphie dropped an F bomb I LMAO. I dunno why, but I also really like Jingle All The Way.

Megan- I have never seen that show, do they still sell it in stores??

[becky]

my favorite xmas movie of all time is "its a wonderful life" but in BW....I don't like the colorized version. I also love Elf. one of these days I will have to buy these movies because i can watch them over and over when they are on TV.

I have a copy of it though, so I can watch it more frequently :D

[CMT]

I can't STAND Christmas Story. I think it's b/c my mom and brother loved it when I was a kid so i watched it way too many times against my will :lol

I LOVE It's a Wonderful Life. My mom and I watch it every year, and every year that we haven't been together for christmas, she calls me when it's on to be sure i'm watching it too :)

[becky]

I LOVE It's a Wonderful Life. My mom and I watch it every year, and every year that we haven't been together for christmas, she calls me when it's on to be sure i'm watching it too :)that is so sweet. Isn't it something how a movie can bring you guys together even though you are so far away. I love that :)

Right now I like Elf with Will Ferrell. We are actually watching it now! Oh and we always have to watch Christmas Story at least once. "You'll shoot your eye out!!"

I think these are my two favorites right now!

We quote Elf a lot around here!

I just saw a Red Rider BB Gun at Sports Authority in the same packaging as in A Christmas Story!

[Kellie_MO5]

yeah, A Christmas Story is a must here, and we watch it almost everytime it's on (which is a lot when they do the 24 hour marathon of it on Christmas eve... LOL)... my fave from when I was little is Frosty the Snowman... I also like to watch Scrooged.. LOVE that show!

[LessasLashes]

I am definately a bit burnt out on A Christmas Story.. (was on TBS tonight I think).

Comical: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

I like Polar Express (even though it's relatively new)

Also by Jim Henson Emmet Otters Jug band Christmas

Also as a classic Scrooged (A Christmas Carol)

[Kellie_MO5]
