hating one show or song is not hating the holiday or the spirit of the message.

i'm a big fan of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, A Christmas Story, and Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas.

oh, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

A Christmas Story is highly overrated. Boring. Or maybe I just cant relate to it because my Xmases were nothing like that. Kinda like Office Space (the movie). I dont get it. But Ive never worn a tie to work or worked in a cube.

Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas.

Oh I found that one at a yard sale a few years back on DVD really cheap. My sister and I were still living at
home and just happened to watch it one night and loved it.

Back to OP's ?

I'd say that has to be Jim Carey's verison of The Grinch. My wife likes it, I don't know why.

there are several versions of Emmet Otter - one has NO KERMIT, removed due to licensing issues. i have a DVDR created from a VHS tape I recorded off HBO waaaaay back in the day.

It's not that I despise them, but I'd rather not see "It's a Wonderful Life" or "Rudolf the Red-Nosed reindeer" or "Frosty the Snowman" ever again.

When this originally aired (back when recording a show for later viewing really wasn't an option), I cancelled out on weekend camping trip with my Boy Scout troop so I could watch this instead. I was not happy with my decision then, and I'm still not now. What a POS...

I think you have to appreciate Jene Shepherd to appreciate this movie.
But seeing it annually would be too frequently for me.

I always hated the animated "Frosty the Snowman." It was among the worst of cheap 1970s animation and production.

I Despise Frosty, which technically isn't really a "Christmas" show.

Really, REALLY despise what Jim Carrey did to Grinch. And I live in Orlando, where every year they have "Grichmas" at Universal Studios, so I have to look at posters of the hideous character. Theodor Geisel's widow NEVER should have let that abomination be made.

I deal with my intense dislike for most Xmas shows by not watching them.

One of the best memories I have of my dad was the time I dropped by to visit when I knew A Christmas Story was about to come on HBO. He was in his den reading with the TV on & I changed the channel just as the movie started. He looked up & was immediately hooked because that's what the world looked like when he was a little boy & he enjoyed it immensely.

A Christmas Story

...saw it in the theater during its original run, drunk with two buddies. We laughed our asses off - it's been a personal favorite since then...

oh, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

This one I've never understood what people see in it. I loved the original Vacation movie (saw that one in the theater, too!); however, every entry in the series after the original has been just a lame attempt to ride the success of the first.


It is what it is.
