Otherwise, my family watches "Christmas Vacation" every Christmas Eve and I have to find time to watch "Scrooged", "A Charlie Brown Christmas" & "A Christmas Story" sometime in December or it just feels wrong somehow.
And the Christmas episode from the first season of "The West Wing". That makes me cry every year. | Oliver

However...I did like the UK's Office 'movie' though.

Based on the suggestion of a few posters here, we watched Love Actually (saw it before but forgot it was holiday-based) and Holiday Inn (wasn't bad at all) this past weekend and are about halfway through our normal lineup.
How about you? Any ones not listed here which you have been watching this season? | cranlsn

I usually try to watch A Christmas Story or A Christmas Carol (the George C. Scott version). Oh, and Beavis and Butthead Do Christmas or whatever that one is called.

LOVE ACTUALLY has a special spot as well, but for other reasons.

As I have stated before, this one is fine but the Alistar Sim 1950 B&W version IMO is by far the best and truest version.

Sorry Doctor, but my namesake (Matt) is correct. I love the George C. Scott version the best...although you can't really go wrong with either version.

How can you guys keep saying these things when EVERYONE IN THE WORLD should agree that Carol Kane whacking Bill Murray in the head with a toaster beats all of them?

You are absolutely right. It's not Christmas if I don't see that scene.
