slo’s SATURDAY poll - Christmas Movies

[slo]

How many Christmas movies have you watched so far?


For Me……7
The Santa Clause
The Christmas Chronicles
Christmas Vacation
White Christmas
Fred Claus
The Santa Clause 3
The Grinch (Jim Carrey)

We still need to watch Elf, The Polar Express and Christmas With the Kranks.
DD18 gets bummed out if we watch certain ones (the 3 left to watch being some of those) without her, so we wait until she’s home. Now that she’s done with finals, I’m hoping we can watch the last 3 this upcoming week,

None so far.

I know it’s been on a few times already, but I save It’s A Wonderful Life for Christmas Eve.

A Christmas Story gets watched two or three times during its 24 hour marathon.

May or may not watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Everything else is skippable. If I happen to catch something, fine. If not, no big deal.

I stay far, far away from any schmaltzy Hallmark or Lifetime movies.

LOL - Me too (about the Hallmark movies)

We always watch A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve. I would watch the Hallmark movies if they were not so sappy and predictable.

Holiday Inn is on while we decorate the tree.

 

[Metro West]

I don't usually watch Christmas movies. I watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas" though.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I was off on vacation so I had time to watch some stuff, and I started at the beginning of December lol

Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
Elf

As far as new stuff goes, I did see Home Sweet Home Alone (didn't love it, but didn't hate it), 8 Bit Christmas, and a few Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movies. Ended up seeing one last night that I had never seen before on Lifetime that had "the Fonz" in it. It was kind of old, don't know I had not seen that before.

I love Xmas movies, but I never make a plan to watch them. I usually just catch parts as I flip around on tv.

I do love, The Holiday, with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz.

 

[fla4fun]

Since I am watching tv via an antenna this year, I don’t have nearly as many choices as I had in the past. I have a couple different Christmas Carol DVDs that I have watched, and there have been some really bad movies on the ION network that make the Hallmark movies look like Oscar winners. I knew it would be slim pickings when I dumped the satellite, but it’s okay.

 

[ronandannette]

I'm not really into that and since DS is now grown, we don't watch the holiday cartoon specials anymore either. We will watch a couple over the course of the season. I've seen one so far; A Boy Called Christmas on Netflix, which we watched a week ago after finishing the decorating.

 

[Meriweather]

I was on vacation, so we are still catching up on our regular shows. Should be tonight. Then we can move on to Christmas movies.
So, we have only watched one....Krampus

 

[bobbiwoz]

We’ve watched many Hallmark and Lifetime movies. We watched “Christmas Vacation” and will probably watch that again!

We will watch Albert Finney’s “A Christmas Carol” on Christmas. It’s probably our favorite version!

 

[Walt's Dream]

I love watching Christmas movies! So far...

A Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
The Bishop's Wife
Holiday Affair
The Santa Claus (1 and 2)
Prancer
White Christmas
The Preacher's Wife
Miracle on 34th St. (original)
A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version)
Muppets Christmas Carol
Elf

...and more to go! Do not care for the Hallmark or Lifetime movies at all.

Hope everyone has fun watching their favorites!

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Now you've inspired me. I haven't watched any yet. But things have been busy. Finished Christmas shopping last night. Just going to the ballet tomorrow and then things will suddenly get very relaxed. Plenty of time for sappy holiday films.

I usually at least watch White Christmas and Christmas in Connecticut. Love those two films. Danny Kaye is so dreamy. Rosemary Clooney is my hero.

Sometimes Scrooged, Gremlins and Trading Places too. Every once in a while, Elf and A Christmas Story.

 

[wenrob]

We watch Elf on Thanksgiving every year to kick off the season. DD was here this week and we did “Mini-mas,” all of our Christmas traditions packed into one day which includes Christmas movies running in the background all day.

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas 1&2
The Grinch (Jim Carey version)
Polar Express
Elf (again)
The Santa Clause

Now that the kids are on Winter break I’m sure they’ll get to a bunch more.

 

[Dan Murphy]

None so far but I'm sure I'll watch Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story before New Year's.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

There’s only one Christmas movie that I don’t mind watching over and over and that’s A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott. I just don’t get into re-watching movies no matter what they are. I do enjoy the Hallmark and Lifetime movies though and I’ve watched about a dozen of them so far. I DVR all the new ones.

 

[Kitty 34]

My List of what I consider Christmas movies that I've watched this year:
Just friends (3x)
Christmas Vacation
Office Party
Four Christmases
Bad Santa......but turned it off after about 15 minutes
Bad Mom's Christmas......also turned it off after a half hour


That's it so far..................

 

[mumto3girls]

None so far. Oldest DD gets home from college today for the break. She is usually the one who suggests a movie.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Honestly, I claim the TV in October when the Christmas movies start (as well as in July for the mid-year Christmas season). I have no idea how many as I watch the old as well as the new ones.
