I get so MAD!

10. Miracle on 34th Street (the 1947 original)
The 1994 remake was just so-so.

9. The Santa Clause
I know it’s pretty cheesy, but I still get a kick out of Tim Allen’s first Christmas movie. Stay away from the sequels, though

8. Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town (the 1970 TV special)
I love how it kind of answers all of the Santa Claus questions I had as a little kid.

7. Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire (The Simpsons, Season 1, Episode 1)
The very first episode of the best TV show of all time just happens to be a Christmas special.

6. Frosty the Snowman
Watching this as an adult, I was a bit surprised that this is just a half hour show. As a kid, it didn’t seem like it was that short.

5. How the Grinch stole Christmas (the 1966 TV special)
The 2000 live-action movie was just O.K., even though it starred the wonderful Jim Carrey.

4. Marge Be Not Proud (The Simpsons, Season 7, Episode 11)
One of my favorite Simpsons episodes ever.

3. Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Very old-school, but I still love watching these stop-motion characters.

2. A Charlie Brown Christmas
A wonderful story about the true meaning of Christmas.

1. A Christmas Story
The family and I just watched this movie over the week-end (an annual tradition). If you’ve never seen it, you NEED to rent this, or better yet, buy it; you’re gonna want to watch it over and over. I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya!
