I am taking a poll of favorite Christmas Movies.

OK, as a request of my very good friend Kevin Lynott(a meteorologist with NOAA out in Wyoming) , today’s Fun topic is what is your favorite Christmas Holiday Season Movie. I have a few favorites that are always a must. Absolutely, National Lampoon’s Christmas Holiday Vacation is top of my list. Christmas Holidays with the Kranks (Ok, I’ll stop with the PC,) Elf, A Christmas Story…I like the newer movies if you couldn’t tell. Maybe your favorite is on this list from before 1991. Maybe it was one of the original Christmas Carols? I almost forgot about Emmet Otters Jug Band Christmas.

TO VOTE You'll need to head over to Focus On Frederick.com

I will go vote - but my favorite is Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life. And the animated Nightmare before Christmas - maybe not a favorite but certainly a fun title!

Yup, gotta say mine too, is It's a Wonderful Life---wouldn't be the Christmas season without seeing it!

Absolute favorite that makes me laugh every time is ELF! We watch it while decorating the house for Christmas.

LOVE A Christmas Story, but always watch It's a Wonderful Life!!

Bob,

I'm Jewish but I always like It's a Wonderful Life...just like mine:)

My favorite is "We're no angels". It's a Bogart movie unlike any you've seen before. We watch it every Christmas in our house.

My wife insists on watching "Prancer" (gag me with a spoon!)..."Christmas w/ the Kranks" was a delightful surprise, in spite of poor reviews.

OK my blatant attempt failed...

Thanks for the comments. I added the poll up top now.. go ahead and vote.

Neal, Happy Hanukkah. That almost over now. I don't believe they have any good Hanukkah movies out. ;)

I also love National Lampoons Christmas Vacation for a good laugh!!

But, for a more serious movie, I love Polar Express. In my opinion.....20-30 years from now, Polar Express will be considered a classic!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Little Drummer Boy

my vote is for Elf!

I voted for my favorite, A Miricle on 34th. St., but It's A Wonderful Life is #2

I HAVE to watch It's a Wonderful Life at least a few times every year! It Works!!!! :)

Bob, well I am in the majority. LOL

What about Home Alone? That one's getting to be a classic in our house

Hi Bob: I like the Miracle on 34th Street... but I have a newer Christmas movie that I saw first on cable perhaps four years ago, and enjoyed it, although it was interrupted by commercials a gazillion times, which of course, ruined it. So, I ordered it online, and for the past three years have watched in once or twice around Christmas. It's called The Christmas Wife. It stars Jason Robards and Julie Harris. I live alone... well, with Mollie T. Cat, so it is a movie I can very much relate to.

The Christmas Wife (1988) (TV)

I'm going with How the Grinch Stole Christmas also.

You''re a mean one.
Mr. Grinch.
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana...with a greasy black peel.

I'm going to head over to Focus on Fredrick, consider it my Christmas Present to you.

So glad I hopped over to Focus on Fredrick - great Larry the cable guy video over there. LOLOLOLOLOLO <you should go>

LOL...Maureen as a testimonial. Thanks. :)

I did miss a few good ones didn't I? Grinch, Home Alone all 7 episodes,

GOod answers!

The Grinch and Charlie Brown Christmas ...

OMG ...LOL!!!! Larry The Cable Guy is a NATIONAL figure ... he has his own web site and ever'thing!

A Christmas Story is good, but I had to Vote for Its a Wonderful Life (B&W version). I hate the colorized version. I watch that movie all the time. I wore out 2 VHS versions of it (Thank goodness for DVD). I watch it in JUly with my daughter to remind her that Christmas is coming, and santa is watching all year around. Plus I just love the movie.

Great Poll, I wanted to post my Other here so that I could share a great cartoon that I enjoyed as a child that is rarely seen on tv anymore. The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus(1985). Thanks for the post. -cem

Merry Christmas Bob!

A Christmas Story is a favorite for us! Happy Holidays!

I voted for A Christmas story. It is not hared to like it since my wife will have it on 24/7 during the marathon that some stations have.

Thanks for all of the comments, I hope everyone had a joyous Holiday. I enjoyed mine back in Pittsburgh driving in circles to get to all of the family functions.

Seems the voting has a tie right now... Continue to vote!!!

Well, since the voting wasn't disabled I voted. 3 times. Had to clear my cache and everything. But I had to make sure that your poll was consistent with this one. LOL

It really is my favorite though. I even own it.

Feel free to subtract 2 votes though for your true count.

I think I have a George Washington complex. I cannot tell a lie.

LOL...return to the scene of the crime.

Well the laugh is on me. You don't even need to clear your cache to vote with PD. I just voted a 4th time. =) All that wasted time. I could have thrown in another load instead.

shhh... I left it that way on purpose.

I got to say A Christmas Story, "it's a major award" . It Danielle's favorite also. My sister actually just bought Danielle the DVD for her this Christmas.

Although Rudolph it right up their also
