My favorite Christmas movie is on AMC right now. White Christmas with Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby, Vera-Ellen, and Rosemary Clooney. Never gets old!
Anyone tired of Christmas music yet, or are you just getting warmed up?

I've never seen it Kpatch. I like watching Santa Claus is coming to town, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer and Nestor the long eared donkey.

I love "White Christmas" also. I saw it as a stage play last Christmas. I just finished watching "Miracle on 34th Street" with Natalie Wood and Maureen O'Hara. I also like any of the old versions of "A Christmas Carol".

I'm more of a fan of the newer movies, Home Alone, Elf, The Santa Clause, etc.
My co-worker and I have Christmas music on all day at work. I love Christmas music but I have to say, after 8 or 9 hours of it I do go for something different on the way home. I'm kind of ready for the stations to go back to their regular format.

One of my favorites is The Shop Around The Corner--an old Jimmy Stewart film. I'm saving it for after school's out. I saw part of It's a Wonderful Life--that's mom's favorite and we watch it Christmas Eve. Miracle on 34th Street is Thanksgiving evening. I played Elf, the Grinch, and Holiday Inn while grading this week. I haven't seen White Christmas yet or Christmas Vacation. I'm behind!
And now I sound mildly obsessed with Christmas movies....which isn't far from the truth, I guess!

I love the Trans Siberian Orchestra doing Carol of the Bells.
I also love this little-known song by Kenny Loggins. Celebrate Me Home.

Kpatch Carol of the Bells is one of my favorite Christmas songs... I even have it as my Christmas ringtone on my cell phone.

Our high school choir is one of the best in the state (yes, I'm bragging) and they do Santagrams, where a small ensemble comes to your class, delivers cards purchased by students, and sings for the class. This year, the group that came to my class sang "Carol of the Bells." It is one of my favorites and gave me goosebumps. It's always the first thing on the program at their concert, too. They end with the choir, joined by former students and anyone in the audience who wants to, singing the Hallelujah Chorus. It's amazing!

I watched the Christmas List with my mom. It's her favorite Christmas movie. I enjoyed it.

I never saw that movie.
Hallmark's Angels and Ornaments was also really good. Got me teary.

Kpatch - my mom has it on DVD. I just looked up the movie. Christmas List is from 1997.

We saw a short version of Polar Express at a 4D theater at a museum in South Carolina. It was fun.
