Haven't seen either of them, so I'll vote for Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Nightmare Before Christmas.


Edit:
Changed my vote for the best holiday movie of all time. It has a shelf life of three months. That's at least two months better than the competition. Besides, it's a good movie.

I'm shooting all of your eyes out. That's what you get for letting me exercise my 2nd amendment rights. Bastards.

And the leg lamp... we like the leg lamp.

For the comedy option I'll vote "Scrooged"

The leg lamp isn't enough for me, but high up there :)

Christmas Story fo sho!

Vacation was good...but Christmas Story was already established as the best, well before Vacation.

Both are really good classics but I picked Vacation.

The Home Alone movies are also great, I tend to watch them at least every couple years around this time.

I wish they would make more Home Alone movies, and I mean ones as good as 1 and 2. 3 is not bad, and then 4 and 5 are not even worth mentioning.

If you had heard my Dad laugh out loud (he seldom laughed out loud) every single time he watched A Christmas Story, there would be no doubt. It really touched home, as he was just about the same age as Ralphie circa 1940. Grew up in a small, industrial midwestern town. Even the parents, in whom I can easily elements of my grandparents, must have hit close to home.

A perfect movie. Jean Shepherd was a storytelling genius. If I could spend an afternoon in a bar sipping cold beer and knocking back a few shots with anyone who has ever lived, it would probably be Jean Shepherd.
