movies:

It's a Wonderful Life
Scrooged
A Christmas Story
Home Alone
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Gremlins
Ernest Saves Christmas

specials:

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas

Mickey's Christmas Carol



I chose to list Christmas stuff, you can list any holiday you want.

Nightmare Before Christmas
Christmas Vacation
Gremlins
Die Hard
Jingle All the Way(guilty pleasure)
Christmas Story
Home Alone

I actually detest a lot of holiday movies and TV shows. Not because I hate the holidays or anything, but because a lot of them are just lame to me. All of those "classics" like Rudolph and Frosty are pretty much un-watchable. And I don't really consider movies that take place during Christmas, but have nothing at all to do with it (Gremlins, Die Hard) as Christmas movies. ANYWAYS...

Wait...how is that a holiday movie?

You are a man of good tastes, my friend.

Christmas Specials aren't really memorable for me. Other than the Christmas "Bump in the Night" special and the Scrubs' special...eh, nothing.

But there was a video my mum bought for me when I was a kid with different cartoons on it. My favorite one was of a boy who was waiting for his father to come home for Christmas. He started looking at the family Christmas tree and started day dreaming of the decorations coming to life to help him travel across the world to meet up with his father for Christmas. I liked that one a lot... :)

Movies:
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Elf
Bad Santa
A Christmas Story(before I saw it for the 200th time)
Home Alone

All Christmas specials are good.

The wrong trousers was first shown on Dec 26 1993, A close shave was first shown Dec 24 1995. Theyre always shown at christmas time.

Maybe I'll see A grand day out this year. Heres hoping.
