I also recommend Signs, not least because the affirmation of faith is the kind so many people need most--An answer to the "Why does God allow bad things to happen" conundrum.

This year's 'ELF' was a great Christmas film.
'Remember the Night' with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray is another great Christmas tale that is never shown on TV unfortunately.

Nothing profound to offer, but watching Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" is great fun!

I think I will give To Kill A Mockingbird a try, since I have seen all the others and they are all great films.

It's a Wonderful Life is not only a wonderful Christmas film, it's also a wonderful film, period. It certainly is my favorite movie, hands-down.
As to other Christmas films, the now-classic A Christmas Story shouldn't be overlooked, nor should variants of Dickens' tale, or even from the small screen, "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
By the way, our family saw Elf and enjoyed it a great deal: funny, well-made, well-written, terrific casting, it's a must. For those who enjoyed the ol' Rankin & Bass holiday specials from the 60s, you're in for an extra treat.

NOTHING PROFOUND TO OFFER??? Are you NUTS???
What about "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"
or
"Guests really DO smell after three days like fish...or like raw sewage"
or
"Most cats live short, violent lives"
or
"Good fences - or really strong windows and heavy drapes - make good neighbors"?
Nothing to offer. Sheesh. ;)
Pinging the freeper who bought me MY copy a few years ago...Happy Holidays Andra! Hope your Thanksgiving was grand.
