Christmas Eve on Seseme Street and Prancer. Yes, really.
And don't be knocking Cleveland. There are far worse places to be.

I love when cookie monster keeps trying to contact Santa, and ends up eating his pencil, paper, phone, etc. Love it!
Flintstone's Christmas and Yogi Bear's Christmas too.

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors.

haha...ok so I know I might be shot for this but I HATE A Christmas Story! I dunno why but ever since I was little it just kinda creeped me out. His little daydream things are so scary...ugh I don't even like thinking about it! lol
My favorite Chirstmas movie by far is A Muppet Christmas Carol!! This may even be one of my favorite movies of all time! Yes I am almost 19 years old and I love the muppets! lol I just think this is one of the cutest movies ever and I love all the music lol! I can't believe I'm admitting all this!

I LOOOOVE a MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL!
And how can I forget CHRISTMAS CAROL altogether???
THAT is my all-time favorite Xmas story. I've always wanted to see the musical version...
I also don't care for CHRISTMAS STORY, but I'll watch it 2am when nothing else is on.

Posted: 8/10/04 at 8:36amChristmas is a conspiracy perpetrated by those who prefer to see cute jewish boys awake at night wondering why they can't have a colorful tree in the living room like that of his friend Anthony Coletti next door(me circa 1970)

Posted: 8/10/04 at 9:36amAnd just around 1970 I was very jealous of the Jewish kids who had 8 days of gifts!!! It wasn't till much later that I learned they weren't fun gifts.

Christmas.....a glorious month off school, between terms. No work, all play, and excessive shopping.
Who could ask for anything more?!
oh. Wait. Christmas is in winter. I live in Canada. There goes the whole "fun" theory.

Posted: 8/10/04 at 9:59amI have never spent Christmas in Canada Judy, but I did spend the month of February in Torono once...yikes that was COLD -- that is when I started using the phrase "stupid cold"

It is becoming a tradition to watch "A ROSIE CHRISTMAS" that aired on television a while back, too.
She surprised me with her song she sang with Elmo, "Do you hear what I hear?" She was actually TOLERABLE in it! And Elmo was so cute!
And the CHROUS LINE Elf sketch with Kristin Chenoweth was HILARIOUS!

I see all these movies, but barely a mention of White Christmas! Ahh. If you have not seen that movie you need to see it! A holiday is incomplete without White Christmas. 
My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...

In this house, we start getting excited about Christmas on July 25th--that's when QVC has their annual "Christmas in July"
celebration. We bought quite a few glass ornaments and a silk poinsettia garland with white lights in the throat of each flower. It'll be gorgeous on the mantle.
Did anyone see the artificial tree they were selling this year. It actully "grows" from 4' to seven'. I twas tempted to buy one but the cost was nearly $300--and it was noisy.

Ooh, forgot about that one.
HOME ALONE still is one of my favs.
Why isn't there a Special Edition DVD of it? It is very popular, isn't it?
