Favorite Christmas movies

ZoeBartlett Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,888 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/29/2006	I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday! Christmas movies are bound to be found on TV somewhere now. What are your favorites? I love Christmas in Connecticut, which is an older movie, probably considered a classic. I also love A Christmas Story. TBS has a marathon of the movie every year, and I always check it out a few times.

Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

A Charlie Brown Christmas. My hands down favorite. It isn't Christmas 'til I watch it. Of course, I have the music; you didn't even have to ask, did you? I miss ALL the variety Christmas specials that were on when I grew up: Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Perry Como, Andy Williams.

I don't guess that is technicallly a "move" though. It's still my favorite. A Christmas Story is good, too. It's a Wonderful Life ROCKS and really makes me think, every single year!!

My sister and I spend every Christmas at our parents' house parked in front of the TV watching the A Christmas Story marathon on TBS in our pajamas, eating Chinese food, making friendship bracelets or whatever other crafty project is around.

I also like Ebbie starring Susan Lucci as the female Scrooge. You can catch the Lifetime channel playing it.

My sister and I spend every Christmas at our parents' house parked in front of the TV watching the A Christmas Story marathon on TBS in our pajamas, eating Chinese food, making friendship bracelets or whatever other crafty project is around. 'Fra-hee-lay'--it must be Italian.' We've been doing it since childhood--what else are a couple of Jewish girls to do on Christmas? That's my favorite line ever! My dad, my sister, and I say it all the time around the holidays. We get a lot of strange looks but we crack up every time. I also love, "mommy's little piggy...snort, snort!" That part of the movie apparently made such an impression with my dad (who's watched it with me countless times), that last year, he bought me a leg lamp night light. It's actually plugged in right now! If you go to this site, you'll see the wide variety of leg lamps that you, too, can own.
