YES! @JoyFilled Warrior That is the one , and it is very good, but there is an older one that really captured my heart. Nonetheless that version is good and, if you watch, I hope you enjoy. Kudos for finding it!

@RNbynite  YUP!  This is the very movie you mentioned. 

I'm watching it now.

in this movie, i the beginning, when that curtain was drawn up, while the young boy was trying to retrieve his kite, my heart MISSED A BEAT!! whew!

Thanks.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you & yours, also @RNbynite

My favorite's are The Man Who Came to Dinner, Holiday Inn. I love all that have been listed and watch no matter what time of year they air. I forgot to mention Bells of Saint Mary's.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!  I don't even think I was old enough to remember watching it when it first came out, but I started watching it on tv as I grew up and just loved it.  Holiday chaos at its finest! lol

Home Alone runs a close second for me.

All the old classics.  I especially like White Christmas.  Even though its a musical I still like it.

Thank you so much, @JoyFilled Warrior ,  and @RNbynite ,  for kind words.

I have a revolving list of favorite Christmas movies, @JoyFilled Warrior .   Let's see--   "Remember the Night" with Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Beulah Bondi,  and "Christmas in Connecticut",  also with Stanwyck, and another astonishingly good cast.

For a more direct spiritual message of the season, I love "The Bishop's Wife",  and of course, a film like "King of Kings" to reflect on the life of whom we celebrate at Christmas.

Glad you mentioned "A Christmas Memory",  @RNbynite -- that is one of mine too.  So sensitive and beautiful, and a wonderful story by Capote to read as well.  There must be more than one version, but I love Geraldine Page playing "Sook" in what was the Sixties' version, I believe.

Home Alone and A Christmas Story

@Oznell @THANK YOU.......and ITA, Geraldine Page (couldn't recall who the actors were) but she was awesome in the role of Sook. The book is equally as enjoyable and Truman Capote a wonderful storyteller. Happy Thanksgiving @Oznell.
