Oh beautiful! The Christmas Classics made it onto your list! I always have my fingers crossed that as many other people love them as my family and I do.

Ever since I was a child itâ€™s been those movies that really bring out the magic of the holidays for me. Wrapping up on the couch with my family and watching Frosty the Snowman or Santa Claus is Cominâ€™ to Town – Iâ€™m transported back to my own childhood, and I feel the same peace and joy I did watching those same timeless movies with my parents.

I’m really glad I don’t have to wait for them to come on TV this year. Now there is a limited collector edition DVD box-set of all the Christmas Classics available, containing my two favorite Christmas movies plus five more. It even comes with a bonus music CD containing 7 favorite holiday songs! I only know about it because I work with the company, but you can buy it wherever you do your Christmas shopping. This is something my family and I will treasure for many holiday seasons to come, and I hope itâ€™s something your families can cherish as well. :)

Only two glaring omissions from your list:

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
A Charlie Brown Christmas

Now I know some people don’t like Charlie Brown (speaking of heretics), but how o how can you not love the dog with the antler tied to his head?

I’m more partial to the Muppet Christmas Carol than the Patrick Stewart version. Michael Caine is a greatly underrated Scrooge, and I love Gonzo as narrator.

It’s a Wonderful Life is a great fantasy movie, but for sheer Christmas spirit, I think Miracle on 34th Street is superior.

I need to upgrade my Patrick Stewart A Christmas Carol to CD. I have the original on tape the first year it was put out – and I agree, its wonderful. Can’t stomach Its a Wonderful Life or The Christmas Story, but can do Christmas Vacation and Scrooged with Bill Murray!

I know there will be someone who doesn’t believe that our beloved christmas animations were made at the same time as Mazinger Z so I will provide some proof in advance.

You forgot “Meet me in St. Louis” which isn’t really a Christmas Movie except for the part where Judy Garland sings “Have yourself a very Merry Christmas” but they play it on Christmas day every year, even in Japan!!

BTW, all those Rankin and Bass Christmas animations were made in Japan. It’s true.
