Its a Wonderful Life Never Say Goodbye Rudolph Year without a Santa Clause Santa Clause Is Coming to Town A Christmas Story Elf Charlie Brown's Christmas
The ones I try to watch when they are on are: A Charlie Brown Christmas The Year Without a Santa Claus Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Rudolph's Shiny New Year Santa Claus Is Coming to Town A Christmas Story It's a Wonderful Life I don't know why but I always loved those Rankin Bass stopmotion animation specials.
A Charlie Brown Christmas. Although it's really a horrible story- all of the kids rag on Charlie Brown until the end when they decide to spontaniously decorate his crappy tree for no apparent reason - it's just something I've watched since I was a kid. A Christmas Story. Who doesn't love this flick? Bumpasses!!!
In this instance, it appears that my tastes actually align with others Christmas Vacation Scrooged Christmas Story are tops on the list, along with the standards already mentioned As a side note, sometimes it is hard to keep up with when these things are coming on, so if you know when they are being broadcast, post here so we don tmiss a chance to catch them.
Good idea - I know that most of the Rankin Bass stuff (with the obvious exception of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) is shown on the ABC Family Channel.
Most of the kids shows have already been broadcast.. but may air again on cable (abc family). I think CBS may still have a CB special to air. I will have to go find A Christmas Story then, and most likely will buy it if I find it based on all the suggestions. One I forgot to add to the recents: The Grinch - w/Jim Carrey - haven't seen it yet this season, but my kids have watched it.
My parents always run the classics. Personally here is my list. Charlie Brown Christmas A Christmas Story How the Grinch stole Christmas Christmas Vacation Home Alone
Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (animated) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Fitzwilly Robbie the Reindeer I got Christmas with the Kranks this year...I kinda like the idea of boycotting everything one year and going on a cruise. But there's no way I could live without my tree!
ARE YOU KIDDING?! It's a classic. Once you watch it, you'll watch it every year. Why else does TBS run a 24hr marathon of it?! CAUSE IT'S GOOD & FUNNY!
