What Is Your Favorite Christmas Movie?

It was narrated by Capote and stared Geraldine Page. It's about a little boy who has been sent to live in Alabama with relatives in the 1930's. None of his relatives make much of an effort to make him feel at home, except for his cousin Sook, played by Page, who is an odd duck. The two of them spend the month of December flying kites, hunting in the woods for a Christmas tree, and making fruit cakes and mailing them off to people like Eleanore Roosevelt.
I also enjoyed the 1970's TV film The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, which inspired the series The Waltons.

Good choices, Gary. Does "Planes Trains and Automobiles" qualify? I think this one is mainly about Thanksgiving, but I can't go through the Xmas season without watching it!

There is a little known TV production titled "J.T." that is very sad. I haven't seen it in years. Anyone else know about it?

Susie, I added The Snowman to the poll. It is the last one on the list, just under "other". It looks like a very cute movie.

Blockbuster sent me A House Without a Christmas Tree. Very quiet and sensitive film. I enjoyed it a great deal. Thanks for telling me about it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Gary. It's one of those movies I guess. I'm not really sure how good or bad it is, but I remember watching it as a kid and it brings back memories for me. I hadn't seen it in years, and I found it at Wal-Mart and bought it.

There was a version of A Christmas Carol that had Henry Winkler as Scrooge.
Anyone see it?
I think that was a great one!
Henry Winkler is a fine actor!
