Thirteen of my favorite Holiday movies.

13. A Charlie Brown Christmas

“Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?”

12. The Santa Clause

“Seeing isn’t believing. Believing is seeing.”

11. It’s a Wonderful Life.

“I wanna live again!”

10. Scrooged

“No, you are a hallucination, brought on by alcohol. Russian Vodka, poisoned by Chernobyl.”

9. Elf

“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.”

8. A Christmas Carol

“God bless us, every one!”

7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

“Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nit-wit. You can’t fire me, I quit. Seems I don’t fit in.”

6. Miracle on 34th Street

“Well, I hate to disagree with you, but not only IS there such a person, but here I am to prove it.”

5. The Polar Express

“All aboard!”

4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

“Blast this Christmas music. It’s joyful and triumphant!”

3. The Year Without a Santa Claus

“They call me Heat Miser. Whatever I touch starts to melt in my clutch. I’m too much!”

2. A Christmas Story

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”

And now the best Christmas movie of all time:

1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

“Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?”
