Thursday’s 13: My Favorite Christmas Movies

Welcome back to another addition of Thursday’s 13.  Last week I brought you 13 of my favorite Christmas Songs so I think it only appropriate that I share with you some of my favorite Christmas Movies.  So here they are in no particular order:

Are any of these your favorites?  Which one?  Or do you have another favorite?

    I liked five on your list: Miracle on 34th Street; Rudolph; A Christmas Story; Jacke Frost; and Dr. Seuss The Grinch. Please add "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation".
  • Santa Claus is coming to Town and Christmas Vacation are also great Christmas movies. I couldn't find the Santa Claus one on YouTube though.
  • I haven't read or seen the Polar Express, but I want to! It looks so beautiful. I think my son's read and seen in school. When i grew up in the 80's, we had VCR tapes of rudolph, mickey's christmas carol, and the stop animation little drummer boy, plus some show about these mice that fix a clock? And the nutcracker. always the nutcracker. I did ballet for a while. And the animated grinch. Those just make Christmas for me. :)
  • I would definitely recommend getting The Polar Express. It became a favorite in an instant. Enjoy the holidays!
  • The Grinch is one of my faves!!
  • Yes, The Grinch is a good one. I can't wait to see the new Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey.
  • We watch most, if not all, of these every year. I remember the Rankin Bass shows when I was a kid.
  • I have fond memories of laying on the floor watching them in stereo. I am so glad we can pass them on to our children.
  • That's a snazzy post! Sets the mood for the Holidays.
