I really like The Santa Clause and its sequel/s. Cheesy, but fun. Oh and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation or whatever it's called, that one will get trotted out on TV sometime, you can bet on it. Home Alone as well, for classic LULZ. Love Actually for the recentness! Two of the worst Christmas movies ever, if you like the really bad stuff, are A Mom For Christmas (a store mannequin comes to life as Olivia Newton-John), and Christmas Every Day (like Groundhog Day, only terrible). Scrubs has a good Christmas ep in I think its first season, the one with the giant Christmas tree and Turk losing his faith? Aaaaand, that's all I've got.

Oh good gravy. I'm not the only one who remembers A Mom For Christmas. I had myself convinced I was making that up.

Thanks Anna!

My favorite Christmas movie will always be Scrooged. I think I know every word to that movie. There's a soft spot for A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation as well. Ooh and the frist two Home Alone movies! I watched those this week.

Also, um, I like the Santa Clause movies (yes, all of them) and, lol, Jingle All the Way is one I try to watch every year. Come on! Arnold and Sinbad! How can that be wrong?

All of the Chrismukkah episodes of The O.C. are really good. I remember especially liking the S4 one, which was a play on It's a Wonderful Life, but I don't know how much sense it would make if you didn't know canon.

Charlie Brown Christmas. Garfield Christmas. How the Grinch stole Christmas (the animated one). Chipmunks Christmas. Shrek the Halls (WAFFLE SANTA!)

for TV: Supernatural Season 3: A very Supernatural Christmas - So classic!

Music: O Holy Night by Josh Groban is my fav. OH for a funny song - Elf's Lament by the Barenaked Ladies featuring Micheal Buble. (it's about how hard it is to be an elf at christmas)

A Muppet Christmas Carol is a favorite. As is White Christmas, The Bishop's Wife (Cary Grant, not the new modern one), Christmas in Conneticut (again, the old black and white), Miracle on 34th Street.

Then there's always Fairly Odd Parents' "Christmas Every Day" fun. And my new personal favorite, the BBC's production of "Hogfather." *grin*

As for music, I have a lot of anime Christmas tunes that I'm more than happy to share. Heh.
