So I've noticed that lately (i.e the last few christmases) that the holiday lineup isn't quite what it used to be, at least from what I can remember growing up.

Do you guys remember when you were kids how they would literally have a full night of christmas tv specials, movies, etc all the way leading up to christmas day and a few days after? Now you can catch Rudolph every year but that's about it, playing sporadically on networks at random times. I've seen it once this year.

So I've been thinking about heading out and seeing if I can get a hold of some old classic holiday shows. Name some of the ones you remember.. Here's my list so far:

Alvin and the Chipmunks christmas special (the one where alvin wants the harmonica)
The Smurfs Christmas
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Frosty the Snowman
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Santa Claus is Coming to Town

For movies so far I only have

Home Alone 1 and 2
One Magic Christmas
A Christmas Story

Post any I missed, I know there are tons. Especially the TV Show's.

My two favorite Christmas movies are Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.

"What day is it? What day is it?"
"IT'S ****ING CHRISTMAS" * BANG BANG BANG SHOOTS TV *

The Year Without a Santa Claus

Nothing tops Heatmiser/Snowmiser.

I watched home alone last night on FX.. first time I had seen it in atleast 15 years

Scrooged!

Home Alone
Scrooged!
Die Hard
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story

Best Christmas movies ever.

"you couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant"

It's a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street

I like Christmas and It is really good holiday. It is better than previous all holidays of this year. I like the most feature of Christmas is gift-giving. It is amazing feature. It is giving our time.It is more fun than birthdays and anniversaries. It is also supporting the poor.

Might as well throw White Christmas in there.

I think I own all the old holiday stop-animation films:

Rudolph
Rudolph's Shiny New Year
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
The Year Without a Santa Claus
Jack Frost
Frosty Returns
The Little Drummer Boy
Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (cartoon)
Cricket on the Hearth (cartoon)
Nestor, the Long-Eared Donkey
A Miser Brothers Christmas

We also have Home Alone 1 & 2 (my favorites), Miracle on 34th street, Jingle All the Way (a terrible movie that I really like for some warped reason), Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, The Bishop's Wife, and the Santa Clause.

seems you're missing Frosty the Snowman.

also, does anyone but me remember proper title capitalization anymore?

It may be terrible, but if you don't like Jingle All The Way then you're most likely dead inside. Infact I'm planning on watching it tomorrow since it's on tv.

Also, The Snowman.

Passion of the Christ

Die Hard.

Oh, yeah, I did leave that off. It's on the same DVD as Frosty Returns.

And, no, title capitalization rules elude me.

Jingle All The Way is awesome. Arnold and Sinbad in the same movie. Uh, yes.

Anyone ever fire up X-Wing 95 on the 25th?
Santa is in the concourse.
I **** ye not.

Stand By Me

"Its Turbo Time"..............My all time favorite (jingle all the way)

They aren't old or classics yet

but the Doctor Who christmas specials are amazing.

Claymation Christmas
