Favorite Holiday Movies

Every year I have to make time to watch the same holiday movies.  The top two on my list are always Elf and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  In third place is The Muppet Christmas Carol (because The Muppets are awesome).  I also don't mind watching some version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas but if I don't watch it I usually can just read the book to my kids.

I have never really felt I had to watch The Christmas Story but I usually catch part of it since I think it is on the entire day of Christmas on some channel.  I still don't understand why anyone would make a leg lamp in the first place....

This year I have also had a chance to watch some "movies" that I would normally not watch, including Merry Madagascar and Shrek the Halls - thank you Netflix.  On deck for tonight is some Santa Paws movie (thanks again to Netflix), so that should be awesome.  Maybe I will add it to my "have to watch" Christmas movie list?  Probably not, but if it keeps the kids still for 30 minutes that's still pretty awesome.

What movies do you have to watch every year around the holidays?
