Top 10 Holiday Flicks
1) A Miracle on 34th Street (Admittedly not my favorite, or even a holiday necessity, but I needed a 10th, and we have to start somewhere.)
2) Frosty the Snowman (“Happy… B-b-birth-day!”)
3) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (If only to make fun of the wool-and-clay animee.)
4) The Homecoming (A Walton Family Christmas…”G’night, John-Boy!”)
5) Scrooge (The Albert Finney version, of course.)
6) White Christmas (Because Bing Crosby looks like my Grampa.)
7) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (MUST be the old-school version, complete with songs and funky, 70’s-style, psychadelic color schemes.)
8) Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown (“Loo, loo, LOOOOO, loo, loo, LOO LOO loo (gasp) LOO LOO LOOOOOOO loo loo loo loooo…”)
9) It’s a Wonderful Life (Jimmy Stewart is my hero.)
10) And last but definitely not least… A Christmas Story (“You’ll shoot you’re eye out, kid!”… “Jinger Bears, Jinger Bears, Jinger Are da Raaaay!”…I could go on…and on and on…this is my all-time favorite Christmas Comedy Classic. It just isn’t Christmas with Ralphy.)
