So, I've been building a collection of Christmas themed DVDs over the past year. This will be something fun to watch during the holiday season each year to get that Christmas spirit going. Trying to figure out what movies I've left out and need to add to the fold. This is what I have so far:

Home Alone 1 & 2
Its a Wonderful Life
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story
Polar Express
The Grinch
The Elf

Who watches every Christmas special? Usually I catch Nightmare, Rudolph, and a few times I've watched White Christmas.

The rest you catch when you can.

Also, I expect to end up watching more Christmas specials as my kids get older and we find time to watch a few each year.

a nightmare before christmas

10/13/2011 10:07:46 AM

I've made it a point to acquire all the christmas specials from my childhood in dvd format as a sort of 'gift to myself' - every year it's like a ritual, and heightens my sense of Christmas excitement

10/13/2011 10:24:01 AM

The original Garfield Christmas is pretty great. Seriousness.

Also, if you can find the Twilight Zone Christmas Special (Night of the Meek), defintiely add it to your collection. The original is really good, but I actually prefer the remake in the mid-1980s

10/13/2011 6:13:36 PM

The entire Rankin Bass catalog.


Especially "The Stingiest Man in Town."

10/13/2011 6:18:18 PM

If you're going Christmas specials along with Christmas movies, this one is hilariously classic
