Great Christmas Films

Hello,

What films do you guys love to watch at Christmas? I absolutely LOVE the Snowman! Can't go a Crimbo without it.

YouTube - "The Snowman" - "Walking in the Air"

It's the best Crimbo film ever! And it's so sad when the Snowman melts.

Oh and Home Alone!

Brilliant film!

Dear Sara,
My two favorites are the original "Miracle on 34th Street" with Maureen O'Hara, and "Scrooge". I think it is the 1938 version.
Regards,
A'isha

Oooh yea! I love Miracle!

When everyone stands up for Santa

Well gives me goosebumps.

I'm not much on movies, but I do re-read A Little Princess by Frances Hodge Burnett this time of year. We also have a tradition of reading Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales on Christmas Eve in the light of the midwinter candles. Does that count?

Dear Shanazel,
The Public Broadcasting Station here used to have "A child's Christmas in Wales" every Christmas. I have not seen it in years, but it was wonderful!

The 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol" with Alastair Sim. I have it on dvd and watch it repeatedly in Nov & Dec every year.

I also enjoy "Eloise At Christmas Time." I love her energy.

Grandbaby likes "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Polar Express"

A'isha, I have a treasured recording of Dylan Thomas reading A Child's Christmas in Wales. It is on cassette tape and I hope my husband will soon put it onto CD to give it a bit longer life.

Merry Christmas to you all, by the way.

Yes...I love the Grinch who stole Christmas...The Jim Carey version is hilarious. I also like the Polar Express. Home Alone is always fun. Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation is a hoot. I also like watching the Sound of Music...That is my favorite all time movie.
