I need to order the DVDs from the library because they are going to be on back order pretty soon.

I love A Christmas Story. That's my fav.

A Christmas Story is really the only Christmas movie that I love love. Although the Alastair Sim Scrooge is my favorite, but I like any version of Scrooge. The Grinch does not meet the standards of the original story, but for pure eye candy it is worth it, in that sense it is a marvel of Seussdom, you just kind of have to disregard the story. The Santa Claus is cute. Most people LOVE The Polar Express, however we found it "ok". Not fantastic as a story, although some of the animation was amazing.

Tam mentioned some of the good ones... I just had to add Elf- it is hilarious. I also love A Christmas Story.

We love 'National Lampoons Christmas Vacation'. My son has been able to quote it word for word since he was about 4 years old. We love 'A Christmas Story' too. I like the classic 'It's A Wonderful Life'.

Is christmas vacation rated pg 13? DH says Hannah can't watch it. She can watch lord of the rings but not christmas vacation. I didn't think it was that bad. Is there lots of cussing or something?
