An important topic that needs descussion!

So, what's everybody's favorite Christmas special? To me it's gotta be the Boondocks Christmas, Nightmare Before Christmas (even though I watch that on Halloween too,) Muppet Family Christmas, Muppet Christmas Carol (Muppets know their Christmas,) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the Chuck Jones Cartoon, not the Jim Carry movie,) and of course, A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Hmm... Tough to say, as I am not much for them. There is this one version of "A Christmas Carol" that I like. Not sure what it was called, but the guy who played Scrooge was pretty good.

My new fav. is "Hogfather" the BBC SkyOne Mini-series by Terry Prachett; it is awesome.

I really like " Scrooged" with Bill Murray and the cute, "bubbley" and quasi-sadist Ghost(Fairy girl) of Christmas Present ( "oh what do we have here? It's a TOASTER *thwack* ) ,
and if I can ever find it on cable (its rarely played ) "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", and of course The Nightmare Before Christmas. (dammit Tim Burton need to do a sequel IMO...)

Oh my god use spoiler tags!!1!1
(I'd have mopped him up, squeezed him into a cup and drank his soul.)

I myself like the classic Christmas Carol, the muppet version, and the comedy version with Bill Murry.

*edit*
Christmas Vacation was just on last night. And yes, it is win in un-editted form, family tradition to watch it.

I like Olive The Other Reindeer. Mostly because I like that art style, Matt Groening has to do with it, &the Postman's song. =]

I have yet to watch all of The Nightmare Before Christmas. =[

I'm a bit surprised no one has said A Christmas Story, you know the one where the kids asks for a Red Rider rifle.
