Two of our favorites growing up (and I've introduced them to my kids) are Mickey's Christmas Carol (cartoon version of A Christmas Carol) and Muppet Family Christmas. Wonderful! You can view both in segment on YouTube. I love your selections. Many of those are my favorites too.

It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite. This is a great list! Have you seen The Bells of St. Mary's? Or Emmet Otter's JugBand Christmas?

I think I remember liking the Bishop's Wife, but who doesn't like anything with Cary Grant in it?! That's what I'm sayin', mmmhm!

While you were sleeping is hilarious. They showed a clip from it in my language development class haha.

Somebody told me that Fred Claus was cute like Elf but I haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the great list to work off of this year!

A few for the days your feeling a little un-classy (if you have those days? :) are The Grinch w/ Jim Carey and Christmas Vacation. Even if you don't love sitting through the movies they are both so fun to quote later, right?

Oh yes you forgot the Navitity Story with Keshia Castle Hughes. It was wonderful! I got it last year. It is like the real nativity done very well and is pretty scripturally accurate. I highly recommend it

Hey Tiffany! A Muppet Christmas Carol is my favorite version by far. And where's Rudolph on this list?

Tiffany I just got your cute Christmas card yesterday. It was the first card of the season. You always send the best cards. Thanks!

I've been off for so long, it's funny how I've missed checking in, Miss Love Boxes! I have much reading to do ... of course the Capra poster caught my eye first :)

Lately, seems like we either have on Frosty or Charlie Brown's Christmas. Although, the old Rudolph is turning in to quite the hit with little Anna.
