A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott
The Preacher's Wife
Home Alone
Steel Magnolias (I realize this isn't necessarily a Christmas movie, but try watching it as you're wrapping presents and you'll see what I mean!)
Prancer
The Santa Clause (I love Tim Allen!)
A Christmas Story
The Littlest Angel (Does anyone remember this one? I haven't seen it in years.)
The House Without A Christmas Tree

David, I remember The Littlest Angel!  With Johnny Whitaker from "Family Affair".  I must have been 6 years old when I saw this.  I wonder if it's available now.

I just saw The House Without a Christmas Tree at Barnes & Noble on DVD.  When I was in 6th grade, our class put this on as our Xmas play.  We actually went over to our teacher's house to watch it together, take notes, and we wrote our own script.  Memories!

THANK you.  I've been wondering, "Haven't we had this conversation?"

Yup! That's the one Paul! I'm glad you remember it. I also remember watching it on TV when I was a youngster. They played it for several years and then I never saw it again. Like you, I also wonder if it is on DVD. It was one of my favorite Christmas shows as I was growing up. :D



In addition to Family Affair and the Littlest Angel, I also fondly remember Johnny Whitaker in the movie "Tom Sawyer" with Jodie Foster.

I have a special fondness for The Homecoming, which is the movie upon which "The Waltons" was based.  The movie had different actors playing Olivia and John - Patricia Neal (LOVE her) and ... some guy.  Everyone else was the same as in the TV show, I think.

I wonder if they'll show it this year, since it's about the Great Depression, and how this huge family is trying to scrape out an existence in the mountains of West Virginia, and how their Dad makes a long trip into the nearest big town to buy Christmas presents for the family and doesn't return.  As the panic starts to set in, it's interesting to see how each of the family members copes with the thought that he may not come back.

On a lighter note, I also love Scrooged, A Christmas Story (you'll shoot your eye out, kid!), and Christmas Vacation.

And I cry every damn time the Grinch's heart grows three sizes that day.
