Favorite Christmas special?

[spyrosmom]

'Twas the Night Before Christmas is on in about 29 mins, one of my faves, with the little mouse family. Its not one that is played over and over, I normally have a hard time catching it. My regular Weds show is preempted by Barbra Walters tonight, so I was looking at the guide, and there it was. I love all the kids Christmas shows, but am partial to the mice, and I also love Olive, the Other Reindeer.

Your faves?

Most of the specials I can probably quote all the way thru (am I weird?) Oh, and there is also a really cool Rankin-Bass, I believe it called The Story of Santa Claus, written by L Frank Baum, that tells the story of how Santa became immortal. Good book, as well.

Well not a special but my family always watches "The Christmas Story."

My favorite is the cartoon version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It is now my 4-year-old's favorite as well. I also like the Garfield Christmas special.

Charlie Brown is it for me...watch it every year.

Did anyone see that new cartoon Prep and Landing?? I decided to watch it after Charlie Brown, and I didn't think I was going to, but I loved it!!!

Christmas Vacation, Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas Story, Scrooge are my favorite movies.

Meet Me In St. Louis (only because Judy Garland sings 'Have yourself a merry little Chirstmas)

Nester the Long Ear Donkey (makes me cry just typing it)

Love TBS' all-day "Christmas Story" marathon on Christmas day!

I love "Meet Me In St. Louis," too. Judy Garland is heartbreaking when she sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas."

And, "Scrooged" is usually on at some point, and I have to watch it!

1. The original South Park "Spirit of Christmas"

2. "Raging Rudolph" from MadTV

3. A Colbert Christmas

Yeah...a little jaded.

Hey Nan and all my buddies^^^^

Frosty the Snowman with Rudolph and Christmas Story as close seconds. I am such a cheese that Frosty brings tears to my eyes! I hope everybody enjoys the holidays this year!

I watched Prep and Landing-Loved it!
It's going to air again Dec 16th at 8pm according to the website. I wanted to see who the voices were. Sarah Chalke is McGee and Wayne is Dave Foley. Thought I recognized McGEE but could not place it.

Is it just me? I've never been a fan of Charlie Brown except for the music, I think because 1. everyone is always so mean to Charlie Brown and 2. where are the parents? I always felt like those kids were abandoned.
Occasionally there is a teacher and they always talk like: WA WAWA WA WA.

As a child, I was always bothered by how Charlie Brown was treated. It really made me sad inside. Oh my goodness, what adult gives a child a rock for Halloween?! That was just so mean.

I also love when Judy Garland sings Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. My DH watches Miracle on 34th Street every year, and I do like that too. To me, Love Actually is very much a Christmas movie, and I adore it.

The one I don't get is It's A Wonderful Life. For some reason, it never did anything for me, but so many people seem to love it.

Miracle on 34th Street

I just watched Love Actually last week..love that movie!
