Anyone have any suggestions for good movies or tv shows (new or old) to watch this December leading up to Christmas?

Christmas TV programming used to be so good, but it's really been watered down of the past few years. The cartoon specials were great Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer (claymation-style), Garfield, Charlie Brown, GI Joe, For Better of For Worse, etc. I recommend checking out all those xmas TV episodes.

Can't forget about How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Yogi Bear's First Christmas and the Disney Christmas Special.

There's only two Christmas movies one needs to watch.

The aforementioned 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' and 'A Christmas Story'

Not on TV, but A Christmas Carol at Theater Calgary is a good show to watch.

Home Alone and Die Hard, no doubt.

For some reason I also like to watch the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during christmas. I'm not sure why.

Anybody seen the Boondocks episode where the kid is hunting Santa with a bb gun? I thought it was hilarious, and it summed up my sentiments about xmas...

Best Christmas movie EVAR!

My second favorite is actually an animated IMAX movie. I was able to find it on DVD two years ago, HMV can get it on special order too. It's called Santa vs. the Snowman. There's even a 3-D version on the DVD too, it's awesome! Hilarious movie, I can't get through a holiday season without watching it!

Here's a link to the DVD stuff: http://www.santavsthesnowmandvd.com/
