    It's almost Christmas - What is your favorite Christmas Movie or TV Special or both?

    With Christmas almost here, I would like to ask the TG community to tell me/all reading this thread what your favorite Christmas Movie or TV Special is, or Both for that matter.

    I will gladly start.

    Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie of all time. Many have argued with me that it is in fact not a Christmas movie (It was released in July), but it surely is. It takes place on Christmas Eve, has a christmas Soundtrack, and involves all aspects of Christmas. And It is my Favorite Christmas Movie.

    Combat Sheep is my favourite Christmas special. It was a one-off show from Christmas 2001, with puppets, sheep, guns and a Queen tribute band (called Queeen). If you have the opportunity to watch it, please do. It's utterly brilliant, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet or DVD.

    Ditto on Die Hard!

    As for a "traditional" Christmas movie, I'd have to say Elf is one of the better ones out there.

    For a movie that I absolutely have to watch on Christmas, it's this one. Elf is definitely a close second.

    You'll shoot your eye out. - I find myself sometimes cringing during that movie yet watching it bit by bit, and usually by the end of the marathon I've seen it completely.

    My favorite by far is the Claymation Christmas Celebration with the California Raisins. What ever happened to that? I miss the 80's sometimes...

    From it is the best version of the Carol of the Bells EVER.
