I don't think any other movie sums it up for me like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. "Hallelujah!!! Holy Shit!!!...Where's the Tylenol...?"

I do love all the Christmas Carols too!!! Esp the Muppet Christmas Carol!!

looovve xmas special~ Love the old stop-motion stuff with Rudolph and the Miser Bros and all that :3

also I love the Cartoon Grinch movie played then the live-action Grinch with Jim Carrey, both awesome~ :D
Miracle on 34th street[the newer one, I haven't seen the old one] is cute :3

The Life and Adventure of Santa Clause by Baum.
Charley Brown christmas as long as I don't have to watch it.
A british (live action) special who's name I never got and character names I don't remember.
Coneheads Christmas special.
Crumbfest isn't old enough, but it's so little known that I may as well feel nostalgic, just to excersize that memory.
They don't make any good christmas specials anymore. Havn't for years. Futurama doesn't count as it's part of a cartoon series.

You hate A christmas story?! You need a cat scan and some time in the drunk tank!
You must be confusing it with 'the best christmas pagent ever.'

nah I hate a Christmas story. Its boring and annoying and no one is likable and its just creepy and not funny.

Rudolf - the Rankin Bass stop-motion version
Grinch - animated version by Chuck Jones, with Boris Karloff's narration and Thurl (Tony the Tiger) Ravenscroft singing
Muppets Christmas Carol - even though I was no longer a child when this one came along

And yes I do like "A Christmas Story". Best live-action Christmas movie ever (Muppets is only partly live action)

There are plenty of other shows that I enjoy, but if they don't come around every year I don't really miss them. There are also some movies that I really shudder at. However, I'm not going to mention them because I know that they are someone's favorites, and I don't want to dis anybody's holiday joy.

Hey, I just realized there are no Hanukkah holiday specials. Is that fair? My Jewish friends deserve a little attention too!
