Favorite Christmas Special

[KensPen]

what is it?

I am going with the Christmas Story,
I love Ralphie's Epic Battle to try to get his BBGun.....

1. I love that one too. but my favorite

although I haven't seen it in a really long time and my opinion may change if I see it again now that I am an adult is

Nestor the long eared donkey. Very sweet.

Honorable mention:
The year without a santa claus - with heat miser and cold miser

[KensPen]

2. LOVE THE MISERS.....

Their song and dance routines still make me smile....

3. I am a sucker for the Charlie Brown special...when Linus reads the

Christmas Gospel and says "That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown" it literally makes me weep...
I love Rudolph too, and the Grinch...and "It's a Wonderful Life."

4. I love that movie A Cristmas Story.

I love Ralphie's Epic Battle to get a bb gun. And the leg lamp.

5. I love the Christmas Story too

My favorite scene is when they are eating Christmas dinner in the Chinese restaurant. I think it is nostalgia for a small town life that probably never really existed!

11. Me three. It's a classic.

6. Scroogiachi brothers on NPR

Especially when Susan Stanburg(sp?) gives an order to Daniel Schorr, and he replies "Yes, my queen".

7. Meet Me In St. Louis & Nat. Lampoons Christmas Vacation

I have to watch these two every year!

[Loonman]

8. The original Grinch cartoon and Christmas Vacation

"Oh, he's probably just been rootin' through the garbage, Clark"

[Whitacre D_WI]

9. ANY of the Rankin/Bass shows.

The Year without Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (and the Island of Misfit Toys!), Santa Claus is Coming to Town....

My favorite (though not technically Christmas-oriented) is Jack Frost: "She said she loved Jack Frost. She never said she loved you, Jack Snip."

10. Miracle on 34th street

Maybe not the best but definitely worth a mention

[Coventina]

12. The Year Without A Santa Claus

CLASSIC!

Also the Charlie Brown, the original "Grinch", It's A Wonderful Life...

The one I never really cared for was "Frosty The Snowman", I don't know why.

13. Definitely "A Year without a Santa Clause"

With the great characters of "Heatmiser" and "Coldmiser" and their musical portions of the show.

Also, I just like Shirley Whats-her-name as the narrator (she played Hazel on TV).
