Top Ten Christmas Movies

10. A Christmas Story (so many classic lines)

9. Frosty the Snowman (brings happiness even thinking about it)

8. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (lovin’ the song)

7. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon, not the Jim Carey)

6. Miracle on 34th Street (the black and white version, of course)

5. Ernest Saves Christmas (admit it, you like this one too)

4. It’s A Wonderful Life (if it glorified the Christ-child a little more and the New Deal a little less, it would be #1)

3. The Nativity Story (very underrated and plainly depicts the true story of Christmas)

2. A Christmas Carol (the original beats Mickey’s version only by a nose)

1. A Charlie Brown Christmas (entertaining, a holiday standard by which all others are judged. Plus, it has the greatest Christmas carol of all-time, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing“)

These are of course subjective. I could have also made an honorable mentions list (and perhaps a dishonorable mentions list). If you have time, go ahead and post your top-ten list in the comments portion.

And Merry Christmas to all!

Which was scarier — The Bumble (a.k.a. the Abominable Snowman) in “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” or the Winter Warlock in “Santa Claus is Coming to Town?”

Two of my favorite Christmas movies are The Lion in Winter and Joyeux Noel.
