What are some of your favorites?
Least favorites?

I am so embarassed to admit this, but i really don't like the Grinch. I love him and the storybook, but the cartoon just doesn't do it for me. I don't know why. I think it has some deep rooted issue reason...probably my dumb brother. lol

I love Rudolph, Santa is coming to town, A Christmas Story<--lol

    though i have to say ONLY if it's unedited on cable TV. i tried to watch this last year on Comedy Central (though i do love CC) and they had to cut so much of this movie out that the story made no sense

    "scrooged"

    I like Rudolph too (and the light up noisy nose is awesome...altho now that I am older, I have to admit that I don't see why MORE female reindeer arent all over Rudy.)

    I hate frosty the snowman. He makes me very angry...
