I grew up loving "Miracle on 34th Street", the 40's version. Loved that movie more than "It's a Wonderful Life", which I liked too. I used to watch both of these every year.

Some other off the top of my head:

Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
Scrooged
White Christmas
Prancer
Burl Ive's claymation shows
Grinch

I am not a holiday person, but for some reason I have a soft place in my heart for Christmas movies and shows. I must be sentimental. :twisted:

The Grinch, with Jim Carey
Hogfather
The Santa Clause
Gremlins

The Christmas episode of the anime Toradora

Might as well also add it is hot and summer during christmas. so it is kind of ironic with all the movies set in winter.

Miracle on 34th street(both versions are ok but I preffer the b/w one since most movies I see are in colour its nice to change every now and then).

Already been mentioned but anyways nightmare before christmas is also in top of my list, I was intrigued with the movie artwork since I was a child and I can still relate to the movie(which is something that cant be said about most films I liked when I was younger).
