1. Think of your favorite Christmas movie.
2. Tell me the name of it in the comments.

Love, love, love Christmas movies, but my all-time favorite has to be “White Christmas”.
Hands down..The Year Without a Santa Claus. The Meiser Brothers own me!! I will sing that little jingle FOREVER!!
The Christmas List, starring Mimi Rogers. Don’t know why I love it so, but I do. It’s playing on my birthday this year–woo-hoo!
His heart grew 3 sizes that day ~~ yes that would be The Grinch ~~ I love me some Grinch ~~ yes cartoon style =)
Blessings to you,
Dawn

(just a little extra there in case you do actually heart this movie as much as I do)
White Christmas!
:)
Elf!
Love the movie Elf. I could watch it 100 times in a row!
The original Miracle on 34th Street is my absolute favorite Christmas movie.
My favorite Christmas movie is Elf. I just saw it for the first time this year and I loved it! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
A Charlie Brown Christmas, closely followed by The Little Drummer Boy, closely followed by Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer! and the list could go on and on…..
I love Elf. I can’t help it!
It’s A Wonderful Life. I often think I should watch it several times a year just to cement the concept a bit.
Without a doubt, Elf!!!!
It’s a tie between A Christmas Story (for the humor) and Miracle on 34th Street (the newer version – for the sweetness). : )
Oh….love A Christmas Story!
Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra…..Ra Ra Ra Ra!
You’ll shoot your eye out!
I love “The Family Stone!”
It’s a Wonderful Life!
And Rudolph. :)
It’s a Wonderful Life. Classic. Can’t be beat, in my opinion!
It’s a Wonderful Life
I just can’t help myself.
I totally -heart- Elf these days! It makes me laugh & laugh and I do love to laugh this time of year. :)
My favorite Christmas movie is “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” It is the version with the mouse family and the human family. The teenage mouse writes a letter to Santa saying he doesn’t believe..so on and so on. I was so excited to get to share it with my students this year thanks to youtube.com!
The Polar Express!
It’s a Wonderful Life (because I NEVER get tired of it…).
Runner up? Charlie Brown Christmas–because of Linus’ speech :).
My favorite Christmas movie has evolved over the years … when I was a kid it was “Charlie Brown Christmas”, then after I became an adult, “A Christmas Story” then after I had children “The Polar Express” — not real sure what my choices say about me =)
A Christmas Story, of course. Ya know the one: “You’ll shot your eye out!”
Merry Christmas!
Mrs. Nurse Boy
Christmas Vacation, because I am so grateful my own family is not quite like that!
The animated “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is definitely my favorite Christmas movie!
Merry Christmas!
Well–I would love to win this camera, so I’ll gladly play along:
I enjoy Elf. It cracks me up. I should watch it again.
I also just got Scrooged to watch with my hubby. I haven’t seen it in a while, and I read A Christmas Carol (for the first time) with the 5 Minutes for Books Classics Bookclub, so I thought I’d see what ol’ Bill Murray could bring to the table.
It’s a Wonderful Life….
Of Course!
Thanks!
It’s a Wonderful Life!
I love the Hallmark movie The Christmas Box…it chokes me up everytime…and how can you go wrong with a holiday movie with John Boy Walton in it.
Christmas Vacation
I love A Charlie Brown Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street.
Elf. Hands down.
A Christmas Story.
The Claymation Christmas Special!
It’s a tie between Elf and The Grinch! My whole family can quote both!
The Grinch who Stole Christmas
I had no idea how much I loved this movie until I watched it this year for the first time with my kids. Christmas movies are better when shared with a kid.
My favorite (and my husband’s) is A Christmas Story!!
i love love national lampoons christmas and a christmas story, jut because they are also so dysfunctional it is just like my family! ;)
only the original version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, no Jim Carrey!
White Christmas!
Christmas in Connecticut – in B&W :-)
Pluto’s Christmas Tree
That’s an easy one, “Little Women” with Elizabeth Taylor…the original one. Just love it! Thanks for the chance to win!
A Christmas Story!!
White Christmas, with Bing Crosby. So, so grand!
Not very sentimental but… Christmas Vacation. It’s become a tradition to watch it Thanksgiving Day and it gets us in the Christmas mood.
I love “While You Were Sleeping.” I consider it a Christmas movie – it has quite a bit of Christmas in it.
My favorite is ‘The Santa Clause’ with Dudley Moore. Classic!
I love “One Magic Christmas.”
the polar express
I love Miracle on 34th Street. My second would have to be Home Alone. I laugh until I cry! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite christmas movie? I think it’s either the new version of the Grinch or Charlie Brown Christmas. I love them both!
And this is SUCH a great giveaway.

:)
my favorite christmas movie is raymond brigg’s the snowman – we watched the old film reels of it in elementary school and i’ve loved it ever since. it’s such a unique and classic film and the ending is absolutely amazing!
OOh, I love Christmas with the Cranks. A little bit of funny for Christmas.
One of my favorite Christmas movies is “The Santa Clause.”
My favorite Christmas movie is Elf! So funny!
Christmas Story!!!!!!
I switch between Miracle on 34th Street and It’s a Wonderful Life… although I ADORE The Grinch who Stole Christmas – the original cartoon, but that’s not a movie.
OK… for today I’m choosing… Miracle on 34th Street. When he speaks Dutch I just melt.
Christmas Vacation – edited and watched with TV Guardian. :)
Love Christmas Vacation!!
Home Alone! Even though I’ve seen it a few million times, I still laugh like it’s the first time!
I love Christmas Vacation. I could giggle just thinking about it! Camera please…thanks for the chance!
My fave movie at christmas is HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS…I’d love to know yours, BooMama!!
It’s a Wonderful Life is mine.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
It’s a toss-up between The Year Without a Santa Claus and the classic, Christmas Story. I have to go with Christmas Story since I can recite the whole movie almost verbatim :)
It’s gotta be A Christmas Story. What other movie tells it like it is? I love to share this with folks who have never seen it before (is that even possible).
Although, I introduced out little darling to Frosty the Snowman this weekend. It was a moment. /sniffle :)
Cheers, Kiy
We have a tie:
Home Alone
Elf
Hmm…
Nestor the Long-Eared Donkey always makes me cry, it’s just so sweet and sad at the same time. All around fav would have to be Charlie Brown Christmas, though.
It’s a Wonderful World.
Christmas Carol. Merry Christmas!
Hey Sophie
It’s It’s A Wonderful Life
I still have to keep telling myself that you are not bigmama but you are boomama and boomama is not bigmama but actually boomama as I indelibly visually switched you both for life. Got that boomama?
A Christmas Story
OOOOOh we do love miracle on 34th street!!!

Okay, this may be one you haven’t heard of. “The First Noel” which is a cartoon about the three wisemen. It is only about 45 mintues long, it all rhymes like a Dr. Seuss book, and it’s narrated by Andy Griffith. Can’t go wrong with Sherrif Andy, I always say………
Love Actually is my favorite movie to watch at Christmas time!
‘Love Actually’ is my favorite Christmas movie…and it has a rockin’ soundtrack!
I do admit that ‘Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas’ is pretty good, too…those Wiggles have actually written some beautiful Christmas songs!!
Carrie
State Fair! Gotta love Judy singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
Its a Wonderful Life!
