This giveaway is now closed.
love, actually
My current fave is Elf. THANKS!
My absolute favorite has to be Home Alone. I remember going to the movies to see it and laughing my head off at all of the goofy things Kevin did. They were so dumb, but they were just dumb enough to get a 12 year old girl to laugh and to secure a spot in her heart for years to come. :)
Definetly “Christmas Story.” Can you believe I was 20 before I ever saw this movie. I know, a total shame!
My favorite is the classic “Holiday Inn” with Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Marjorie Reynolds. It just says old timey Christmas to me.
Elf (of course) OR The Christmas Story.
However, I have a lot of close seconds
The Polar Express- love it!
I think I would have to say “Elf.” Merry Christmas!
Mine is Polar Express. My son’s in Teletubbies. My husband’s is Emmett Otter’s Jugband Christmas. We don’t share well around here. :)
Christmas Vacation for the laughing and Miracle on 34th Street for the sweet.
The Santa Clause! I LOVE all of them…Tim Allen is HILARIOUS!!!
How The Grinch Stole Christmas…and not the new one, the old cartoon version! Love that show!
I like The Santa Clause with Tim Allen!
The Christmas Story. My dad and I love it and my mom hates it.
I hope I win. I’ve been shopping around for a new camera.
With a gazillion comments and entries already, there’s no way you’re going to bother reading this, so I could name any movie I want, or even make up one. So my favorite Christmas of all time is “Aliens” the sequel to “Alien.”
It’s A Wonderful Life is the movie for me. Maybe because my brother-in-law is a bank examiner. LOL
My favorite is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Love it!
It’s a Wonderful Life!
It’s A Wonderful Life – I used to watch it every year with my mom, and now I get to make my own family watch! And I still cry every. single. time. at the end! And oh how I need a new camera, I have a puny 4MP!
Christmas in Connecticut for sure!
Jolanthe
Home Alone. My husband and I just watched it last night!
Christmas Vacation, with Chevy Chase, because it makes my husband laugh out loud every single time and because it’s so quotable.
It’s a Wonderful Life….and it is!
“White Christmas”
A Christmas Story is my fav!
The Christmas Story….Fragile pronounced Fraa-gee-lay….kills me every time!
White Christmas and Nativity Story! Thanks for the giveaway!
home alone (Only the first one)
I like Home Alone!
It’s a tie between A Charlie Brown Christmas and Elf!! Love them both! Thanks for the give-away!!
White Christmas–without a doubt!
The Polar Express and A Christmas Movie
Only 1! I have two, no three.
Little Women (the newer one)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon)
Funny Farm. This one I like because of the part where they are trying to sell the house, and it’s at Christmas time, and it’s so beautiful!
Miracle on 34th Street!!
So many Christmas movies that are so good, but my fave has to be “The Nativity Story” It’s where it all started :)
Does A Charlie Brown Christmas qualify as a movie? It is my all-time favorite, because of the wonderful presentation of the Gospel in the middle of what seems like just a normal kids’ movie. It’s done so simply, yet so effectively, a great example.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!
I absolutely love “Elf” and “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.” Of course, I have a long list of favorites, but those 2 are at the top. I’d be thrilled to win this giveaway, as I’m in desperate need of a new camera. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh, gotta be ELF! I love smiling it is my favorite!
A Charlie Brown Christmas for me. Elf for my kids. :)
Definately A Christmas Story!!!!
There are SO many good ones…but National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation always cracks me up!
I can remember sitting on the den floor with my older sister in our pj’s, stringing popcorn for the christmas tree and watching Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas. That was when life was simple! What great memories.
“The Year Without A Santa Claus” (you know… the one with Heat Miser and Snow Miser…)
The Polar Express is the current fave in our house!
This is technically not a “Christmas” movie per se, but we only watch it during the holidays so that qualifies it in my book — Love Actually.
A Christmas Story! There is a house near us that pull out the leg lamp every Christmas. Look forward to seeing it every year.
I love the movie A Christmas Story. Ralphie is the cutest!
My fav before husband and kids was “It’s A Wonderful Life” and while I still LOVE the movie, i have to say that as a fam we love “A Christmas Story”!
I know, I know, so over-done- but how in the world do you beat It’s a Wonderful Life? Seriously, how!?
BooMama – I do love you! Your blog always brings a smile if not a good hearty chuckle. :)
“A Christmas Story” is my all time fave – a tradition around my house growing up.
Elf and Miracle on 34th Street. They’re so similar- I just can’t decide.
I know, I know, so over-done- but how in the world do you beat It’s a Wonderful Life? Seriously, how!?
Definitely “Elf”.
Rudolf – the classic. There’s nothing better.
White Christmas, definitely! We watch it every year. I love the music and the dancing and the actors. It’s just fabulous.
The Christmas Story. Everyone can relate to Ralphie!
It’s a Wonderful Life.
Favorite line? “A toast to my big brother George. The richest man in town.”
I cry just thinking about that line.
Jim Carrey in “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”.
Classic. Hilarious!
I’m singing!
I’m singing!
I’m in a contest and I’m siiiiinnnnggggingggg!
ok. It’s Elf.
And it is a risk-taking move for me to admit this, because, it IS a miracle when you fall down a well and your eyes go crossed….but when kicked by a mule..they go back again.
I think I may need to read a book.
-Amy
Definitely A Christmas Story & A Charlie Brown Christmas
I loved Elf! It is hysterical everytime I watch it!
Yours, Mine and Ours
The Nativity Story-
I like the way it is so realistic- especially the portrayal of Joseph. Wow.
It’s a Wonderful Life, no doubt about it.
Christmas Vacation – FOR SURE. I just love Cousin Eddie – I laugh every time!
My favorite Christmas movie is fast becoming “Elf.”
Meet Me in St. Louis!! Love it!! And, would lovvve a new camera even more!! :)
“It’s a Wonderful Life” for me!
Oh my…it would have to be A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim. Black and white masterpiece, that one.
A Christmas Story
White Christmas!!! White Christmas!! My favorite since I was maybe 9.
Elf! Talk about feeling like a kid again. :D
Elf is my favorite! i love Buddy he reminds me of my 5 year old =) i also love home alone
Elf is so full of awesomeness..
And then of course there is the classic Abominable Snowman.
Probably A Christmas Story or Frosty the Snowman. I know…very different from each other…
I will have to say that it’s the Santa Claus movies with Tim Allen at the moment. My grandson’s are in to watching them and everytime they come over, they want me sit down with them and watch. I am smart enough to do just that because in a few years, they will not want to do that anymore! Merry Ho-Ho, Bitsy
Ooh, Mama needs a new camera! My favorite Christmas movie is the 1987 Wonderworks adaptation of “A Child’s Christmas in Wales”. I’ve watched it every year since I was 11. :)
My favorite is The Santa Clause…so real! The north pole is perfect (the first one only)
I would have to say it is “A Christmas Story”, we watch it every year!
Elf! And A Christmas Story! And The Santa Clause! AUGH! I can’t choose!
White Christmas. Love Danny Kaye.
Elf. :) Cracks me up!
home alone!
I do love some good ole How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (the cleaned up tv version of course)
My favorite movie is Christmas vacation. SO funny.
My all time favorite Christmas movie is Charlie Brown Christmas. I love the part where Linus tells the Christmas Story and I love that it is still shown today.
My all time favorite Christmas movie is “The Christmas Story”
I know it sounds crazy, but I love A Garfield Christmas!
ELF, I didn’t think it would be funny, but it was.
my fav is still Christmas Story & I love that it is on all Christmas day.
Christmas Vacation
My favorite is White Christmas. My girlfriend and I used to perform “Sisters” all the time. We annoy people who watch it with us because we quote every line!
The bleeped out version of Christmas Vacation. I love it when the squirrel comes out of the tree!
Hands down Elf. Wait..maybe White Christmas…Nope definitely Elf : )
Am I the only one who loves It Came Upon The Midnight Clear with Mickey Rooney? We about wore out that video tape when I was growing up.
Hands down, A Christmas Story!
I have always loved It’s A Wonderful Life. My mom got it for on vhs years ago, and I watch it every christmas with my girlies :) :) :)
I would have to say “Small One”. It’s such a sweet story!
My favorite movie is “Elf”!!
