I always liked the showing of Moses around Easter/Passover.
But the channels we get now don't seem to be doing that anymore.

For Christmas... I like the Patrick Stewart rendition of "A Christmas Carol" followed closely by Henry Winkler's "An American Carol".

I'm a big fan of "It's a Wonderful Life", but I seem to lack the time to watch it, and if I do start, I fall asleep since it's late at night.

I also love ALL the classic cartoons from the 60's!

I was forced to run inside this weekend due to snow up to my butt. (And I'm tall.) I set up the DVD player in front of the treadmill and watched "Christmas Vacation" and "White Christmas" (where Bing Crosby danced with Danny efn Kaye). If you want to know how many miles it takes to watch those 2 moveis, it's 20.2.

I am a fan of the George C. Scott version of "A Christmas Carol", but haven't seen the entire Patrick Stewart version. Donna needs to see Charlie Brown early and often.

White Christmas is my WD favorite and when she came home and found it in the
middle she sat down to watch it.
Then when it was over she watched it again seeing it was being played back to back
on that channel.

Ok so wifey's favorite movie of all time is White Christmas, she has three copies of it, VHS, DVD, Digital. Oh and we try to see the stage version when it is near us during the Holidays. If you have a chance it is a cute musical and just different enough to keep you interested.
I love Mickey's Christmas Carol. and the classic cartoons with Chip and Dale ending up in Mickey's tree and Donald and his nephews having the snoeball fight. I have just seen the new muppet Christmas show and enjoyed it. I will also give a shout out for Scrogged and NLP Christmas Vaction.
