I have all the Garfield Holiday specials on TV.
I think I saw ELF with the skids way back when. First they told us that they "already saw it with Battleaxe Gallactica (BM's BM) during the week." They knew we were going to take them to see it on the weekend (as both of us work) but of course the Battleaxe had to one up and take them first as she's retired (other than to sell soup in caldrons with the Girhippo).

I have the Garfield Holiday movies too. I cherish them.

And Little Women was my favorite Christmas movie. My sister and I would watch it every Christmas Eve after we opened each other's gifts and prepared a lounge spot in the play room. We didn't agree on much but we both loved that movie.

NL Christmas Vacation... That is truly a classic.

Did you ever see the 2nd one? It was made for TV and had Cousin Eddy and the original Aubrey. It was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. There's bad and then there's Xmas Vacation 2.

Christmas Carol
A Christmas Story
Scrooged, because I went to college with the nephew of David Johansen who played the cab driver (ghost of x-mas past) and we almost got kicked out of the theater for loudly cheering when he cam on screen.

Thanks, We shouted "UNCLE BUSTER !!!!!" because he also has a solo album out at that time under the name Buster Poindexter. He was so proud of us lol

If you all haven't seen "Nativity!" (British) you are missing out!
It's wonderful and we all watch it every year, along with A Christmas Story.
...I think SD13 wants to see Christmas Vacation finally....yay!

I've see two "Nativity!" movies, if they made more I'm not sure but the two I saw were great.
