It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Uh-huh.
Matter of opinion, I guess.

One thing that kind of gets me into the spirit, are holiday movies and TV specials.
Every year, I make it a tradition to watch several of them, that you may agree with me or cringe.

They are, in no particular order:
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
The Grinch (original cartoon and Jim Carey version)
Charlie Brown Christmas
A Christmas Tale/Scrooge (most of the versions anyway)
The Polar Express
Elf
Miracle on 34th Street
Home Alone (original)
The Nightmare Before Christmas
It's A Wonderful Life
White Christmas
Holiday Inn
The Santa Clause (original)
A Christmas Story

I tend to let my guard down this time of year when it comes to watching these type of movies, even though it might threaten my manhood.
Is that a bad thing?

And yes, if I'm with a group of friends or family and 'Love Actually' is on the telly, I won't walk out.
It's a British comedy that does have some funny moments, plus Liam Neeson is in the movie and he's a cool guy, so how bad can it be?

How about you?
What are your favorite holiday movies and TV specials?
