I can’t decide on my absolute favorite Christmas movie but my top ones include:
– Home Alone
– The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey version)
– Elf
– Muppet’s Christmas
and…. Bridget Jones’s Diary! I saw this movie at a discount store for $5.00 the other day and had to have it! I plan on watching it later (with popcorn of course) as a reward for finishing up some school work that is pending. I don’t know if this officially counts as a “Christmas movie”, but it’s one to me!
Lunch came early today – I made a wrap and broccoli. Today I did the same thing as yesterday and also grabbed a hanful of baked Tostitos 🙂
Plus a pear, because I am craving fruit like crazy lately.
Question: What’s your favorite Christmas movie?
I LOVED “Four Christmases” last year – it’s too new to be a classic, but it was adorable. And “The Family Stone.” That one isn’t a classic “Christmas” movie, but it takes place initially at Christmastime and watching the family relationships is great.
Nothing tops Love Actually for me!!
I feel it in my fingers…I feel it in my TOESSS!!
I love Meet Me in St. Louis! I also have to watch White Chrismas and Holiday Inn every year. I guess I am a sucker for the classics.
Miracle on 34th Street is my favourite one!
I love xmas films in general… there’s something really comforting about them!
On a different note… pears are my all time favourite fruit!
Funny. I was thinking of Christmas movies to watch with my family. Bridget Jones is a good one. Have to think of more, though.

That just might be the biggest pear i’ve ever seen.
Elf. No question. Elf.
I was actually just sitting at my computer, drinking, being a scrooge about my day. Wallowing in self-pity. And then…I read your post in my Google Reader, and thought: ok, Elf will totally cheer me up more than wine. So, I just threw Elf on, and I’m feel exponentially better. So thank you for that 🙂
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation! lol
i LOVE elf and lampoon christmas VACA!
Home Alone, I just love it.
I love Bridget Jones! I feel like I am her sometimes. I love when Mark Darcy tells her he likes her just as she is. Aww!!!
I feel like I am her too!
I love Love Actually! It’s a semi-christmas movie. Bridget Jones is always appreciated!!
Agreed, so hard to pick a favorite. Definitely have to do National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Its a Wonderful Life and the original animated Grinch movie…. plus those other ones like Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Rudolph, etc. I have Tivo set to record them ALL! Need to watch Elf again, think I’ve only watched it once, but we did get it on DVD.
I love Elf, and Prancer (pretty old movie, but great!)
My dad and I always watch A Christmas Story! I just moved into Baltimore City and in Canton Square by the bars they have a giant leg lamp like the one in the movie. I really want to take my dad there to see it!
so many good christmas movies out there! i’ve been searching for a copy of a muppet christmas but can’t find it anywhere!! boo
Me either! I just play it in my head 🙁
I don’t like watching movies over and over, but it’s probably Christmas Vacation b/c that’s what my husband has made me watch every night for the past two weeks. LOL
I love Home Alone but I always find Santa Claus with Tim Allen to be a hoot too.
I love “Scrooged” with Bill Murray! Also, it’s not really a Christmas movie, but I always watch “When Harry Met Sally” at Christmas time…
My favorite is A Charlie Brown Christmas, It’s a Wonderful Life and The Grinch (cartoon version).
Mixed Nuts if my absolute favorite. it’s not a very typical movie but it’s hilarious. Have you seen it? It takes place in CA so you might have an appreciation for it, but it’s pretty goofy!
Never even heard of it – I have to check that one out!
Elf is my current favorite, by far and away 🙂 It gives me such a warm, fuzzy feeling inside!
I love Christmas movies. My favorites are Elf, Home Alone 1 and 2, A Christmas Story and Love Actually. Elf is by far my favorite 🙂
it’s a wonderful life, christmas vacation (national lampoon), a christmas story, love actually, white christmas, … i just recorded ELF and can’t wait to watch it!!
I’m such a traditionalist: It’s A Wonderful Life
For some reason I think It’s a Wonderful Life is depressing 🙁 Even with a happy ending it makes me sad.
It’s a Wonderful life totally makes me sad too.
Totally a Christmas movie! They do wear ugly Christmas sweaters after all! 😉
My fav is Elf. Seems like it’s on everyone’s favorite list!
“The Miracle on 34th Street” The original movie is the best. You have to watch it. I am sure you will enjoy it. Especially if you like the older movies.
Love Actually!! best Christmas movie ever.
