oh boy,  I could come up with a large list here.   I don't watch them all every year as there is just too many.   I alternate.

Movies:

A Christmas Carol(Alastair Sim, George C. Scott, and Patrick Steward versions, I may have to day the new animated Disney version.  I don't like the added action scenes, but even with them, it is one of more accurate versions I've seen)

Scrooge(the Musical starring Albert Finney)
(yes, I am a big fan of the story A Christmas Carol.  I highly recommend that everyone should really the Book.  I try to read it every year as this time.)

Miracle On 34th Street(the original)

Its A Wonderful Life

The Lemon Drop Kid(its where the song Silver Bells comes from)

White Christmas(I have a tradition of watch this one at midnight on Thanksgiving to officially start the Christmas season. )

The Bishop's Wife

It Happened on Fifth Avenue

Die Hard's 1 and 2

(at some point, I intend to get "The Nativity Story" and add that to the list)

TV specials:

Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer

Frosty The Snowman

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Twas The Night Before Christmas.

A Chipmunk Christmas

If I could, I'd like to get a hold of the original Looney Tunes and Disney Christmas specials that aired when I was a kid. 

I could probably add more to the list, but that is enough for now.

 

 

How the fuck do you have enough time over christmas to watch all that?

Christmas vacation was on TV the other day - classic.  Muppets christmas is ace too.

A few years back I went to see Patrick Stewart perform a one man reading of a christmas carol - very good.
