Why do people insist on starting the holiday season earlier and earlier each year?

Silence, infidel.

I forgot Good King Wenceslas! It stars Jonathan Brandis, my childhood crush extraordinaire. One of my sisters had it on videotape in college - we both loved him!

I love xmas movies! It is a tradition of my family to watch All I Want for Christmas on Christmas Eve. Have since we were little.

Going to see Santa Clause 3 this weekend -- I am really excited that Martin Short is in it! I love him! Really enjoyed the first two as well.

In addition to A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Preacher's Wife and LOVE ACTUALLY are up there on my list.

Is Love Actually really a X-mas movie though? I tend to just think if it as a movie that takes place in December....

I like the original version "The Bishop's Wife" with Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young.
For a fun Christmas movie I liked Bill Murray in Scrooged.
And then there is that Cheech and Chong short film where they are telling the story of the visit by the three wise men, Casper, Melchior, and Balthazar.
Casper bends down to enter the stable and offering his gift says, Gold for the King. Melchior bends down and says, frankincense for the King. and finally Balthazar in his haste to enter the stable forgets to bend down and bashes his head on the door frame. Jesus Christ, he exclaims! at which Mary turns to Joseph and says, hay Joseph, don't that sound better than calling him Irving?

Claymation Christmas, especially the Three Kings!

OMG Love Actually. I Love that film so much. I have yet to make the boyf watch it, but he will. I will make sure of it.

Also, this is kind of a UK classic, but The Snowman. My absolute all-time favourite christmas film. I have it if anyone wants it, I can send it via email and I'm more than happy to share. It's so beautiful.

What's the christmas film with Dudley Moore as an elf? I LOVE that film too.
