It's begining to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go...

They are starting to air Christmas movies, so here are 13 of my favorites. One website list Die Hard as a Christmas movie. I can't really see that, so I left it off even though I love Bruce Willis. I will probably treat myself today and buy the most recent installation of John McClane


1.

Reading the passage about Christ's birth gets me every time. I am surprised that they can still get away with airing it on network TV.

2.
For every misfit out there in this world. There is a place where you belong.

3.
There are so many versions of this story. I have always like the George C. Scott version. But honestly, my next favorite is Scrooged with Bill Murray.

4.
My favorite part of this movie is listening to Lauren Bacall and Thora Birch sing "Baby, It's Cold Outside." It is almost impossible to believe that this sweet, innocent child is the actress from "The Hole."

5.

The original. Never the recent version with Jim Carey. I love Boris Karloff's voice.

6.
Come on, who doesn't think this is funny.

7.
Ralphie is one of my favorites, and I don't care how many times they air this every year. I watch it almost everytime I can.

8.

Warm and fuzzy childhood memories.

9.
Only the first one. It is funny. But the sequel, what kind of parents could lose the kid twice.

10.
I have always loved this movie. The world is a better place with each of us in it.

11.
Another fond childhood memory. I have it on DVD, might have to watch it today.

12.
This movie has Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire in it. Bing sings "White Christmas." I always dream of a white Christmas and some years even here in Tennessee I get it.

13.
The original version. I love this movie. Santa is real.

5. My friend Rachel shares my birthday.

9. It is time to start my Christmas shopping.

10. I love the smell of frost in the air.

11. I can justify a cup of hot chocolate.

12. It is cold enough to wear sweaters, of which I have dozens.
