What's your favorite Christmas show/movie?
My favorites are Elf, all of the Santa Clause movies, Home Alone, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the one with Jim Carrey). Hallmark movies are also a seasonal favorite (see #60-73 on this list). I also like watching holiday episodes of my favorite shows this time of year, like these Gilmore Girls episodes. Let us know your favorite Christmas movie below!
