   Whenever I think of my childhood—I think about the wonderful movies that graced the screen both the “silver screen” and the TV screen. Even as my own children were growing up; we spent many warm winters’ night watching the various movies and getting that “holiday feeling” that puts so many in a festive mood.
   
   With that in mind—I have put together ten of my favorite all time movies. This spans a time from my youth to adult. There are others that I really enjoyed however these are at the top of my list.
   1.    It’s A Wonderful Life
   2.    Miracle on 34th Street
   3.    A Christmas Carol (the older versions)
   4.    A Christmas Story
   5.    The Polar Express
   6.    A Charlie Brown Christmas
   7.    Home Alone
   8.    Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
   9.    Home Alone 3
   10.    How the Grinch Stole Christmas (With Boris Karloff)
   
   What are some of your favorites?

      No.4:  A Christmas Story is one of my favourite.
      
      I'd mention 'Trading Places' too, as an alternative foul-mouthed classic.
      
      Plus a great wee film called 'Snow Day' with Chevy Chase and Iggy Pop  ...... not a Xmas story but it's got all the fun ingedients

   1.  Have the DVD; love it; watch it several times a year once Christmas rolls around, even when it comes on television (though I hate the commercials.
   2.  Love it; but, the classic, not the new fandangled versions Hollywood tries to film.
   3.  Please refer to #2.
   4.  Husband's favorite movie; even seen A Christmas Story 2 (not nearly as good as the first).
   5.  Never seen it; don't even think my kids have.
   6.  Watch it as a kid; but, my kids now think it's too boring.
   7.  8.  and 9.  A few of my all time favorites.
   10.  Little Cindy Lou Who is my favorite character because she represents innocence and purity in all things.

      Yes...the Muppet Christmas Carol is a good one. I enjoy the George C. Scott "A Christmas Carol." I enjoy just about all of the old Christmas Carol movies ... even the one with Mr. Magoo :-)
      
      I'm going to see a live production as my family does every year. I can hardly wait!
