    I've got the Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol on VHS and it's still great. The songs (razzleberrry dressing!) and voice acting are wonderful -the animation is kinda on the cheap side though.

    Some other almost forgotten favorites...
    Ziggy's Gift,
    A Cosmic Christmas
    Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas
    A B.C. Christmas Special
    Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Clause
    'Twas the Night Before Christmas (with the mice trying to fix the clock)

    I love the original Miracle on 34th Street. Hoping to catch "Christmas in Connecticut" sometime this year. That's one I've always wanted to see.

    I remember the peanuts did a series of shorts set in different time periods. If I remember there were 3 of them. 1 was of them being the kids helping out in Independence hall when the Declaration of Independence was being written. The 2nd was them helping out the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk and the 3rd was them in space on the space shuttle. Does anyone know what these were called and if they are available on DVD?

    I also love "A Wish for Wings that Work", "Christmas Vacation", "Elf" and "A Christmas Story".

Does anyone like the Polar Express? it comes on tonight on ABC Family.

    Actually, my favorites, in no particular order:

    A Christmas Story
    A Christmas Carol (G.C. Scott version)
    National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
    Elf (Although I generally don't care for Will Ferrell's type of comedy, this is one of the exceptions!)
    Nightmare Before Christmas
    Muppet Christmas Carol
