We all have our favorites for the Holidays, regardless of religon.

Please, no bashing on some movies if you don't like them, keep in mind, be polite, etc.

Mine are Nightmare Before Christmas, White Christmas, and I am preparing to watch A Wonderful Life for the first time.

I still have a soft spot for the old Rudolph, with the Island of Misfit Toys and all that.

Nightmare Before Christmas rules, but that's a movie, not a holiday special. You know what's a good Christmas movie? Die Hard. Holiday Inn is another good one, if you're looking for the old black & white classics.

Some of the ABC Christmas movies aren't bad. I did kind of enjoy A Carol Christmas and (I think) Holiday in Handcuffs.

Oh, and yes: A Christmas Story trumps every other one out there. It's probably the most-quoted Christmas movie of all time, though I'm just taking a guess there and not actually looking it up.

And as long as we're mentioning movies, the original Home Alone (Not the ones after it, they were crap) was a fine movie.

It is tradition at my house to watch Charlie Brown Christmas when we are decorating the tree.

It is my #1 favorite Christmas movie, followed by A Christmas Story.

I love both of them.

I still like the old Rankin/Bass Christmas specials (Year without a Santa Claus,Rudolph,etc),as well as Nightmare before Christmas.
But my all time favorite is A Christmas Story,it's absolutely one of the funniest holiday movies ever.

I don't know...I think the Dick Knubbler William Murderface Christmas Special with special guest stars Dethklok is my reigning favorite now. I watched Rudolph on Youtube last night and it was okay, but it seemed kind of dated. I did enjoy it for the nostalgic aspect though.

Blackadder has in fact now been usurped from that position by 'A Christmassy Ted', the Father Ted Christmas Special.

If you are all foreign and weird, and haven't heard of Father Ted, I suggest you go and track it down.

I one day wish to be like Father Jack.
